I can taste is all over again looking at these pictures. We are accidental farmers. We didn’t intend to raise livestock for a living. But, I had a passion for food and growing and raising our own. That passion turned into a major love of feeding others and branched out to us raising that quality […]
We knew we wanted to bring a quality ham to your dinner table for the Holidays and are so excited for these fresh, seasoned and lightly hickory smoked hams. Since our hams are not fully cooked, we wanted to ensure you had the best recipe for your Holiday meal. I know that holiday recipes often […]
When we first began raising livestock, the main reason was to feed our family. We wanted to know what was in our foods, where it came from and how it was raised. From birth to butcher, we wanted to know the process and connect deeper to our food source. We raised a giant veggie garden […]

If you’ve ever visited us here at the ranch you’ve more than likely seen (and definitely heard!) our Great Pyrenees, Tuffy. Tuffy is fiercely loyal to her people, larger than life, and we love her very much. But she’s not a pet. She’s our Livestock Guardian Dog, or LGD for short, and her role on […]

Remember not too long ago when eggs were making headlines multiple days in a row? I couldn’t help but feel grateful for our farm fresh supply but it got me thinking about how much of a luxury eggs can really be, especially during the winter months. Many people don’t realize it (especially since grocery stores […]

It’s a question I get asked more often than anything else: Why do you shear your sheep? I’ll admit that this question used to bother me. There’s unfortunately quite a bit of misinformation out there surrounding the wool industry in particular and many assume that shearing is cruel and hurts the sheep in some way. […]

I dabbled with this for months. I didn’t know how it worked (like anything new) and to be honest, our slow internet kept me from pursuing it at all. Y’all, we’re talking dial up speed over here. But, after years of taking videos and documenting our days, I decided to jump all in on something […]

We have been excitedly waiting the arrival of Rosies new piglets. If you don’t know Rosie, she is Levi’s sweet sow; a pig he raised from the time she was 8 weeks old. Rosie was bred to our Gloucestershire Old Spot/Duroc boar, Hank the Tank and her piglets are a cross of GOS/ Duroc and […]

It is with great sadness that we share the news that our chicken processor is closing his doors. While we originally thought it would be after our 2021 season, circumstances have changed and we are facing the end of our chicken season a few months early. Sadly, we can produce the most amazing, humanely raised, […]

Each spring, we evaluate our yearlings (calves born the winter before that are now a year old) and sort them into groups. The smaller group is left to eat more, gaining more size before bringing them home to put into the finish pens. The larger group is loaded up, brought closer to home to the […]

I had spent the last few days at my parents, helping them and my sisters navigate hospice with my dad. It’s been emotional but it’s also been so cathartic to just be here and focus on caring for our dad. It’s Tuesday though and I needed to return home to get our boxes shipped out […]
