How Does One Become a Farmer?

How Does One Become a Farmer?

Because we were about to be homeless, once our offer on the new property had been accepted, the sellers were kind enough to let us park a rented fifth-wheel in the barn parking lot until they had found a new place to live and could relenquish the house to us.  It started out kind of like a family camping trip – Randy and I living in a 26 foot travel trailer, along with two cats and two dogs.  By the…

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back . . .

Things come and go on the farm.  Some days are truly a blessing, and some days we are just glad to have gotten through them.  Last Sunday proved to be a just get through it day.  When the early light of morning overcame the darkness of night, looking out through the living room window Sarah saw a very pregnant sheep laying on her side barely moving.   We quickly went outside and waded into the high spot in the field where she…

Our New Blog

So Randy and I have decided it would be fun (both for us and our customers) for us to try writing a blog to let all our friends out there experience a bit of what the farm is about.  We anticipate a potpourri of stories flowing between the two of us, some about the here and now, others about things we have learned along the way.  Because transparency is one of the goals of our little farming operation, we plan…
