Land access is a challenge for most farmers. Farms are smaller than what they were, but they still need acreage to meet the needs of their operation. This is true for us. In 2015, we needed more hay ground and we entered into a lease with a local landowner who had deep agricultural ties to our community. Little did we know that this couple would become more like family. They trust us with their land and embrace our goals for it. This past weekend, after mowing and baling second cut, we removed a pile of rocks that was in the middle of the field…an eye sore for them and a mowing challenge for us. We are both thrilled with the outcome.
Agriculture needs more relationships like this one in order to continue remaining a viable source of food for the community. We are so very thankful for them, because it allows us to do just that!

We think our animals are beautiful, but these models who posed with them, just took everything over the top! A special thank you to everyone who had patience and a vision to make these amazing pictures what they are! Be sure to check out Olivia Drew Photography for more sneak peaks of her shoot on the farm or book a session!

It was an exciting day on the farm…Olivia Drew Photography welcomed clients for photos among the cows. We opened up our farm to them after their original location backed out. While there were no cow snuggles, I believe that we created a unique and custom experience for each of them. We can’t wait to see the finished products.

Making round bales (First Cut)

Hello Folks! Sorry I have been quiet all summer, but the farm is a busy place! If you want to see how first cut looked, our oldest son, created a video! Take a peek:

We are baling a 15-acre property with 2 John Deere tractors from the past. We have some mishaps and problems; will we be able to fix them?

Happy Monday!
Farmer Dan has an Aunt who often plays a “find her dog” photo game…when I looked outside to check on my group of mammas and calves, I was inspired by her game, which includes the level of difficulty…so..can you find FIVE calves…level of difficulty: medium.
Have fun and enjoy your day!
