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 […]

This is one of the biggest misconceptions out there about organic foods. The reality is that while most synthetic sprays are prohibited from use on a certified organic operation, it doesn’t mean that certain pesticides and fertilizers are. Let’s get into it.

I’ll say it right out of the gate, this is a hot button topic. Time and time again, across social media, blogs, news sites, you name it, I’ve seen it covered from all different angles though there’s usually one common denominator.

It never ceases to amaze me how our dairy cows are able to break down plant material in the form of grasses and other forages into rich, delicious milk that feeds their calves, us, our customers, bottle lambs, the list goes on. It’s all thanks to the anatomy of their digestive system which is unique […]

I have loved these Farm School kids. As we make plans for some summer classes with kiddos, I was circling back to what this past fall was like. I am still so grateful for the chance to share farm life with each of our Farm School kids. I’ve gotten to know these kids and seen […]

I often say that we are soil farmers and when I do I sometimes get funny looks. But it’s true! At the heart of all that we do is a commitment to making sure that we continually regenerate the land we farm on while producing the healthiest, most ethical and sustainably raised meats. Soil regeneration […]

A few months ago, my dear friend was sharing a youtube video on her struggles with her LGD’s & the solution she had found. I may or may not have shed a tear or two. You see, when we moved here Tuffy was so excited but we knew containing her to our property was going […]

Not many people know this about me but I used to be vegan. It’s a looooong story but aside from believing in a lot of the health claims surrounding plant based foods, I found myself being sucked into a lot of the rhetoric shared on social media and blogs regarding things like antibiotics in meat […]

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 […]
