Spring Week #3: When life gives you a creek, float it!
We love irrigating days when we get to flood irrigate our back pastures where the cows live. We all have a blast playing in the water, but especially the kids and Zoey. :) One of our fields isn't leveled well, however, and so LOTS of water comes off of it and usually floods our neighbors fiel1 read more »
Spring Shares Week #2
We're off to a great start! We're enjoying being out early again to harvest and watching the sun rise across the horizon as we do so. There's something magical about mornings and we love being able to witness the day come to life as we harvest. We're also in the midst of a lot of1 read more »

Gearing up for the best season ever!
We've "shopped" for seeds for months, poring over seed catalogs like kids looking for toys.

Garden Cleanup is on! Fall Shares Week #2
It's that time of year! Time to clean up much of the garden. We've been pulling up tomato, pepper and corn plants, plus burning the vine plants to kill off as much of the squash bugs as we can. It's so hard to believe it's already that time of year. Newer offerings this week are carrots and p1 read more »

It's almost Fall Y'all!
The first official day of Fall is Monday! We've been hitting the late summer crops hard to eat up as many as we can before we lose them to cold temps. Hopefully you've been enjoying the cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes and peppers, etc. as much as our family has, yet we're excited for the change1 read more »
