At first, I wasn’t going to share many of my emotional thoughts here on this website. There are parts of me that I simply don’t want to share with everyone. Parts that feel like they’re mine to experience, navigate, and wade through without outside opinions. Things I want to work through in a way that […]

There was a time when Turkey Days were one of the most stressful events we held all year. Which is funny, because today they’re one of my favorites. For years, we took reservations for our fresh Thanksgiving turkeys. On the surface, that sounds like the most logical way to do it: you tell us roughly […]

I don’t think so. Farmers won’t change the food system. Entrepreneurs who farm will. I sat with those two sentences and the cursor blinking on my screen for a solid ten minutes when i was writing the email to our subscribers a few weeks ago. I believe them. Deep down, I believe we can change […]

Boundaries seems like an ugly word. But if I have learned anything about the burnout I experienced the last two summers, it’s that without them, you’ll run yourself into the ground. Maybe I’m writing this as a message to farmers who want to do what we’ve done.Or maybe I’m writing this to keep my promise […]

Buckle up, friend. This is a long but a good one. If you’ve shopped for pasture-raised eggs or chicken lately, you’ve probably seen the label corn & soy free. It sounds simple enough, and for many people it feels like an obvious upgrade. If corn and soy are ingredients you try to avoid in your […]

Learn how long vacuum-sealed meat lasts in the freezer, why our chicken and pork are seasonal, and how to store pasture-raised meats for over a year.

Every year, we look at our systems and ask: How can we do this better? Better for the birds, the cattle, the hogs. Better for our family. Better for the folks who rely on our farm for real, nourishing food. This year, we made some major upgrades to our pastured poultry setup — changes that […]

You’ve probably heard about Costco’s famous $4.99 rotisserie chicken. It’s an absolute steal, and they know it. In fact, Costco’s CEO has openly admitted they lose $30-40 million a year on those chickens. But they don’t care—because that cheap chicken gets you in the door, where you’ll fill your cart with everything else. This strategy, […]

When Ryan and I first started raising animals, it was a hobby — a fun way to connect with the land, enjoy better food, and live closer to our values. But turning that hobby into a thriving business?
