What a week, what a week. It has been a whirlwind here at the farm. Our sheep are officially out to pasture for the season, and they couldn't be more thrilled, same goes for us farmers. It's so wonderful to witness them peacefully grazing out on pasture, especially the lambs since it's their first time out and about. The pastures on our new land are stunning and so lush! Speaking of animals on pasture, we will be welcoming 13 black angus cows this coming Monday to the farm, then in a few more weeks 9 more. SO excited and a little nervous. Nerves are higher this year with farming new land and with increasing volume in every aspect. 

We will be processing our first batch of meat chickens in a week, which also nerve racking, but very, very exciting since we will be doing it ourselves and get to really control every aspect. Get ready for some delicious, very fresh, farm raised chicken. 

Permanent fencing is well on its way, as we have one pasture fully done! Just a few more to go... Fencing is very physically demanding and time consuming. We are lucky to have the experience in our pocket, so at least we know what we're doing haha. Beautiful thing about permanent fencing is you only have to build it once. 

Veggie fields are booming with growth, and we are just chomping at the bit for more variety. Coming soon! Tomatoes are planted and happy in their new tunnel alongside some greens, kohlrabi, scallions, and cukes. Basil will be going in shortly alongside the tomatoes because well, they're besties. 

Overall, we are humming along, and really focused on just simply producing high quality, very loved food. Enjoy the video below for a glimpse in our week!
