A little snapshot from my horse show with Charlie last weekend ❤️ We ended up high points champions for the whole weekend in our division. He is the absolute best 🐴❤️🦄

A little celebration post in honor of our sweet barn kitty Maverick. We adopted him nearly 2 years ago now and he brings so much joy to every single day on our little farm.

Why celebrate him today? Well he is named after Top Gun and today Top Gun: Maverick is released! We are going to see it this evening and unfortunately, I don’t think the movie theatre would appreciate me sneaking the cat in so he has to stay home 😂😂😂

(We also have a Goose cat, name also inspired by Top Gun.)

The garden is planted and now we wait. We tend,

The garden is planted and now we wait.

We tend, we water, we weed and we wait.

Gardening is a test in patience. There is no way to speed it up or make those plants produce food any faster than they naturally do. There is no magic spell or potion. Even if you enjoy the process deeply, it is still a waiting game.

But after that waiting and working and patience in tending, the result is so much sweeter. Those tomato’s taste better knowing how hard you worked for them. Those cucumbers get pickled with extra care knowing how long you watched them grow in anticipation.

Gardening is a lot like life sometimes. Sometimes you are in a waiting period… sometimes you are working and hoping and pushing without seeing the results of that effort. But someday you will. Just like the plants that will bloom and fruit in the garden, eventually, whatever you are working towards will bear fruit. And it will be so much sweeter when it does.

So keep working. Keep waiting. It’s worth it.

Homegrown food in progress. Eating meat is a choi

Homegrown food in progress.

Eating meat is a choice our family makes. Because we make that choice, we feel it is important to know where our food comes from and ensure it is raised and dispatched humanely. So, we raise all our chicken right here on the farm. They get fresh food, water and grass every day. They are outside in the sunshine and fresh air. They are checked daily to ensure health and to make sure they are happy.

Our animals live a good life and have just one bad day. It is hard sometimes to raise animals knowing they are destined for my freezer. But, I think it is more important that we are hands on with our food and know exactly what is in it, what life that animal had and to know exactly what food nourishes our bodies.

Raising your own meat can be very intimidating but it is so so so worth it and much easier than you might think. And if you can’t raise it yourself, getting to know a local farmer and buying meat local is almost as good!

It is with immense sadness that I have to announce

It is with immense sadness that I have to announce our sweet Waffle passed away 💔

It took me a while to process the loss and feel ready to share. Her passing was utterly unexpected. She was happy and full of life one day and we found her peacefully passed the next morning right before we left on our trip. She is so very missed here on our farm. She was the sweetest, funniest goat and made us laugh and smile every single day she lived on our farm. She is buried here on the farm and will never be forgotten.

Owning animals brings so much joy but they also bring us some days of heartbreak. That is the farm life…. Highest of highs and sadly lowest of lows.
