What a weekend! We are getting ready to share the magic of the season: spend time with your loved ones visiting the animals, picking a tree, wreath or a special handmade gift from a local artist.
It is truly a gift to be able to create something we know will create special memories for you and your families. Our main goal is the bring the community together through the farm- to share the love of animals and time together. It means so much to have your support. Hope to see you starting this Friday!

As we wait for our trees to continue to grow (and hope to avoid further Phytophthora root rot loss of our crop) we have precut Fraser and Balsams available. Prices will range from $70-$85

I Meannn 🥰 I think they were posing for me on my way home yesterday. Naturally I had to get out to take some pictures, and take it in- then get back in the truck and shuffle kids here and there and practice and dinner and oh yeah church council meeting a hot second in between it all. Nights are about to get busyyyyy.

It was a RED ALERT on the farm! I ran out of BUTTER!! So, I took the back road over to @thecowscoop (they’re all back roads around here really..) for some of their Cabot goodness- and of course we can’t ever leave without chocolate milk 🐄🐮 #community #communityfarm #farmstand #allthecuteandyummythings #supportingsmallbusinesses #supportinglocalbusiness #supportsmallfarms @thecowscoop @hastingsfarmersmarket @cabotcreamery

Quite a different week I’m having than my past 17(+) years…As my former colleagues head back to their classrooms, and I hop into a tractor or barn, I certainly am having some mixed emotions! I couldn’t be more sure or grateful that this life/career change was absolutely where God has led us, but it’s still a doozy to process for sure. So to all my teacher friends: keep fighting the good fight, I’m certainly thinking of you. And I’ll be here doing country a$$ $hit with my country a$$ friends- come join me when you get the chance!

Summer has been good to us on the farm ❤️ this cooler weather though has us excited for fall…. I’m not ready just yet though!

Come celebrate your events with us and the animals, or join me and other local artists for some creativity!

Wow. We feel so incredibly grateful to Cindy and Carlos for choosing to celebrate their wedding with us. But it was so much more than that- we truly felt welcomed into the family and felt the overwhelming love and support from every guest here. From preparing with you, to the closing of the day, it was such a special experience for us as well. And I mean how cute is her Abuela with Hank?!

This is our home, our life, our family and vision. To have guests come and feel the peace and warmth we’ve worked so hard to create is beyond touching. God has truly blessed us in abundance of love and community.

This will be an event to remember forever. Thank you!

Did you know we had a turkey?! He really likes it when I tell him how handsome he is AND he gets more colorful.

Fun fact: the Booger looking thing on their nose is called a Snood! When he’s nervous it has a lot of white, and when he’s happy he’s very red and blue. The chickens like having him around too.

This is how- we’ve been rolling for the past 700 weekends. Ok maybe not 700 but certainly seems like it. Fencing! There’s so much! These critters need a shuffle and we need them to mow these fields. We’re getting SO close!

Gus liked popsicles, and Hank likes to ‘swim’!

What a hot week! Hank’s chillin his feets in his water and has been enjoying good soaks from the hose. He LOVED that rain last night and I can tell he’s looking forward to more!
All the animals on the farm have been getting fresh cold water, have fans, and plenty of shade. Now let’s hope the humidity knocks off soon and we can breath outside again 🥵

We had a BLAST! I’m obsessed with this process now, thank you so much to @d_beaul with DeeBee Glass for sharing your art with us last night. We can’t wait to do more and have BIG plans for Christmas glass workshops already (of course we’re already thinking Christmas here!)
These were our creations before they hit the kiln. We used “Murrine (singular: murrina) are colored patterns or images made in a glass cane that are revealed when the cane is cut into thin cross-sections.” So all those glass rods had the intricate patterns inside!
Denise will fire these in her glass kiln this week and we’ll have our finished products. This was honestly so fun for all ages- we had 8- (not quite) 80 last night, and everyone had a great time with beautiful art ❤️ This makes my heart so happy. God has given us such a gift to create and share and enjoy. This is the stuff we need more of.
