Life is hard.

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...

Beth is home with Mae today and preserving acorn squash for the winter. The acorn squash doesn't keep long after harvest like butternut squash does so they will be baking and mashing them to freeze. None of the squash goes to waste...
Tossin' Hay!

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...
