We're really doing this!

We have just been awarded permission by the Farmer Veterans Coalition to label some of our homestead products as "Homegrown by Heroes" in recognition of Lance's time in the military. Our cattle, Timothy hay, orchard fruits, Jersey milk soaps, and eggs are all produced in part by my favorite Veteran. Supporting our small farm is also supporting an American Veteran owned business.

Farmer Veterans Coalition: Homegrown by Heroes

We have procured several large pieces of equipment needed to harvest our own hay for the first time. After years of doing it on shares, 50/50 split with the harvesting farmer, we will be baling our own small square hay bales. We hope to have some extra to sell to cover costs and turn a little profit.  Earning an income for our efforts, while providing for ourselves and neighbors, has always been the goal. We're SO close!

These new milestones excite us for the direction we're headed and the future of our homestead. For the past few years we've done so much dreaming. Then, it almost seems like overnight we're making huge strides to have a self-sustaining homestead!​

Have a great Spring!
