Four of our eight little piggies were taken to the processor this week. Hana and her friend Skylar are saying goodbye along with our reverse herd dog Aggie. When the piglets escaped last month Aggie wasn't the best herding dog, she kept scattering th...

Just got word today from a wood-cutter friend several towns over that he has 76 more cedar logs for us. Perfect timing for some of my upcoming building projects. I was starting to use up the first load with all the fencing that we put up in our...

Anyone guessed that I love my work? Even in the face of crisis, like now, I know what I was put here on this planet for. To farm, to dairy, to teach; these are my passions. Add in there -- to innovate -- a restless curiosity and need to move forward --...

There were hundreds of little experiences with my grandparents, parents. aunts, uncles and in-laws, that when taken as a whole, have led me to where I am today. My father liked to grow tomatoes and camp. On those...

We finally found someone to shear our sheep. We'd placed an ad and had several reponses, but people tend to get busy, time slips by, and before you know it the sheep are sporting dreadlocks. (And not the nice ones like Erica's!)
We eventually...

It has been a slower week--a heavy rain all day Tuesday pretty much slicked stuff up to where we couldn't do much outside. The temperature has been hovering between the high 30's at night to the low 60's during the day, and the farm has slowed down. It seems...

We have been truly blessed. My friend Lou Files brought a couple to my place in need of a place to park their motorhome for a few days. They have jumped in with both feet to help take some of the workload off of the rest of us. My hay is in the barn the day it...

I am so proud of everyone that showed up yesterday at the DATCP board meeting. That took their time -- felt so passionate -- spoke from every possible place in society -- that raw milk is here, we're not going away, and that we need to be heard -- and...

I am in a state of wonderment. I wonder, I appreciate, I am grateful. This great plan for me -- for us -- all of us -- that I am part of, I wonder why it has to be like this, but accept and know it IS for a reason, and it is not that I am to be miserable, but...

It started badly and went downhill from there.
Strike one... I turned into the driveway and began picking my way among the potholes. It was exactly one year ago on a sunny day in early November. We had just closed the deal to purchase this small farm...

Through November and December of last year my family hauled load after load of our belongings to our new farm. It was with great relief that we finally completed the task and could retreat from the cold to...

The first few years in the house were very trying while at the same time we were transitioning from small gardener to large gardener. We quickly learned that the experiences we had in a smaller plot of land did not particularly prepare us for large scale...

The days are getting shorter. So much in fact that we had to carve our annual Halloween pumpkins by lamplight at 3:00 in the afternoon! Overcast conditions coupled with Standard Daylight Time makes for some early evenings.

The first year on the farm had its perils, like the time the phone company changed our phone number, without us initiating the task or them asking us if it was okay. To top that off they wouldn't give us the new number because they said it was...

After the persons surprise that often accompanies the answer, that yes we indeed do farm, we get asked about vacations. "When do you take vacations," or "Now that summer is over what do you do?" Work never...
