With quite a cold blast, winter blew in... With 6 to 8 inches of snow overnight! We are now covered with a beautiful white blanket, littered with tracks of a lot sorts of little feet.
Cold, but a beautiful winter Wonderland
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.

Propane installed in the new Kitchen!
Yesterday we installed the propane tank for the new kitchen and connected the range / oven. Everything works (except for a couple of plugged pilot lines). and WOW does that range make some heat! 8 burners of extra high capacity plus 2 ovens! When we cranked everything wide open the regulator outside was singing!
We also found a great deal on a used 3 door commercial fridge / freezer that we hope to pick up by end of week.
things are progressing, in spite of the disappointing results on the frundraiser... Whatever happens there we must press on. This is too important to delay!

We need your help, ASAP
We are asking for your help to support our fundraiser to build an on farm commercial kitchen and allow us to produce and sell nutrient dense organic, non-gmo, traditional healthy foods that heal in convenient packaging. The project for fundraising was launched a couple weeks ago, and has a couple of weeks to go, but quite honestly we are not doing well. We need your help.
If you have pledged already, we sincerely thank you. If not, we ask that you consider making a pledge to this cause, to help families in need of good healing foods and achieve or preserve true health.
Then, we ask that you publicize this plea for help anywhere you can, through email lists, facebook shares, websites, door to door, etc. Any way you can think of to get the word out within the next 2 weeks!
This is an all or nothing funding project, so if we dont reach the goal of $25,000 in the next 2 weeks, we will receive nothing.I still believe we can reach the goal, all we need is to get the word out to a few more people with a heart to help others and our world.
Thanks!

Thanksgiving turkey harvest 2013
We had a fabulous thanksgiving season. Even though the harvest was smaller than we wanted (dye to incubator problems back in sprung) it worked out well. This year we had plenty of volunteer help on processing day, do overall it was a pleasant and not totally exhausting few days.
We thank everyone who showed up to help!
