After a long day of working at the vet I made the long trek home to take care of the animals before bed. Dan has his hands full getting Mae taken care of so I just get everyone tucked away with a head lamp and my bright headlights on the car. Ozzie our silkie rooster followed me into the chicken pen a few days ago and is now acting like he has always gotten along with everyone! He had a history of not playing nice but hasn't shown any aggression in a few days so I think he is deciding...
Meet Etta Jo

Meet Etta Jo. She is a Nigerian Dwarf cross goat in full milk that we were able to welcome into our farm. We will be introducing her to the other girls over the next few days! This week has been very busy. We are finishing up some candles, salves, and lip balms for our events this weekend. We have launched two new lip balm flavors; Bubble Gum and BubbleMint. I will say the BubbleMint is absolutely my favorite. Starts nice and sweet with a bubbly flavor, and has you thinking for about 2 minutes "where the heck is the mint?"...
Life is hard.
daily events farm farmers market goats love market
Being a farm is hard. Being a parent is hard. Being married is hard. For us as of late, all of the above is true. Bit of a rough weekend of working on bettering our family. Going through trials and hurt has and will continue to make us stronger, and help us to come closer to God. This week will be one of healing and growing together, as partners, parents, and as a farm. We had two Farmer's Markets this weekend! A whole lot of work, and a whole lot of time put into both of them. Our garden will start...

Wow. Today was a long day. It started when I woke up at 4:15am. This has been the case every day for about a week. No explanations. I moseyed on downstairs to watch an episode of Stranger Things on Netflix while the girls continues sleeping. Made some coffee and settled into my recliner for some chill time. Once 6 oclock came and I heard the girls starting to come to, I threw together a quick breakfast for us. Mae was other-worldly this morning. A complete terror. Nothing made her happy and from 6:00 until I left for the market she...
Tossin' Hay!
candle farm farmer farmers market field fresh hay market ode shoes soy tap
We toss hay off the field, we toss hay in the barn, we toss hay to the goats, and when the goats waste half of it we toss it away! With forage animals our lives revolve quite a bit around tossin' hay. We are an extremely small farm compared to most farms but proud to do it. Our tossin' hay candle is an ode to the farmer big and small! If you're like us the smell of fresh cut hay is reflective and enjoyable. We thought about this candle this morning in the pouring rain while getting our animals set...
