What's Up Buttercup

Wow this summer went so fast. Anyone else wondering what happened? I think it's that they started school so early this year. Here on the farm has been busy.

Have you been mowing more than you remember without having to water as much? We have been cutting, raking, or baling hay, seems like every day this summer. God was gracious with the rain. The native grasses and weeds seem to be 10ft high in places. It's definitely been a good year for grass.

On the grass note, we are looking into getting goats (seasonally) to help manage the grazing. This could mean seasonal goat meat! We've also gotten some more chickens! The grandkids, there's 5 now, are super excited about having their own chick. Three of these chicks are named: Dottie - Farm Boy's, Nacho - Little Bean's, and Little Skye - Little Bug's. Wow that's confusing. These are the three kids that can talk.

The cows are fat and happy right now. Calving season will be starting soon, so get ready for the social media pictures!

We have a debate going about what words or pictures that catch people's eye. If you're looking for beef, eggs, or honey, what words like Organic might catch your attention in a positive way? If you recieve a farm flyer, what kind of picture will get your attention? Kids with animals, kids playing, or farm equipment/property/animals? Let us know in the comments! We want to get to know each of you!

Also, if you got my email last week, and it took you to a product page, please forgive me! I swear I'm a tech person, but somehow I made that audacious blunder. Below is the link to your free recipe book as a thank you for joining us in this journey on the farm!
