The month of May is a beautiful time of year and busy, busy, busy! 

I am sure you feel a little overwhelmed too with all this summer heat.

Just a little over a week ago, it was near freezing temps on the farm and this past week, it was like someone hit the switch to turn summer on. lol

80's and 90's, we'll take it! 

This all meant that our pastures finally started to really grow...and I mean REALLY GROW fast!

As I am sure your lawn finally took off too. 

It always surprises me how the quick heat and moisture can grow grass. 

Well as you were getting your mower out, we also had to get our grass mowers out to start trimming our pastures.

Fortunately, on the farm, we don't need to worry about fixing the old carburetor, or flat tire on our mowers, we use an old school mower that's been around forever! 

The COW!

I know I am lame. lol

Check out a little video I made as we moved our mowers out on to pasture!




I love how if we manage the cattle properly, they really will mow your lawn, fertilize it, and produce wonderful nutrient rich beef. Now that's the type of mower I like. 

As you can see the contrast in the picture below, the right side is fresh grass and the left side yesterdays food. They do a nice job mowing! 

Now before you come asking me if you can borrow one of my cows, I can assure you the city will not be happy about a cow in your yard!

Anyways, spring is sure a fun and busy time of year for us on the farm.

What's your favorite part of spring?

Blessings,

Farmer Joe

He Arose

Happy Easter Friend! Today, we are taking it easy on the farm. I just finished morning chores and now have a short moment to write you this email before we bustle off to church. Thankfully we worked pretty hard yesterday to get all the chores done so today we can take some extra family time to celebrate this Easter Sunday.Of course there will be the Easter egg hunt this afternoon as we do everyday ;)However, we look forward to celebrating the magnificent miracle that happened 2,000 years ago. Our Lord, Jesus Christ arose from the death of his crucifixion with our family today. As many of you know we are a faith based family farm. This means we hold very closely our faith in everything we do. That said, I wouldn't be acting out of faith, if I didn't share His story as it reflects who we are and stand for. If you are willing, please watch this really cool poem that I found encouraging!It sent chills up my back! It's such a beautiful poem sharing what Christ accomplished with his death, burial, and then resurrection.  We are so thankful for his love and grace to save us. Choosing him as our savior vs our good deeds can uplift anyone from the bondage we face.  I hope you enjoyed the poem as well.  God bless you on this Easter Sunday.  The Wanda Family

How We Scale The Regenerative Farming Model

As a farmer who's been practicing regenerative agriculture for several years now, I firmly believe that it's not only scalable but also essential for the future of sustainable food production. When I look at my own journey and the transformations I've witnessed on my farm, I see immense potential for regenerative practices to be adopted on a larger scale.

Industrial Ag's Paradigm: Cheap Food, Unsustainable System

As a farmer who has witnessed firsthand the evolution of agricultural practices, I am compelled to shed light on the detrimental effects of the industrial agriculture model. While this system has promised increased efficiency and productivity, the hidden costs it imposes on our environment, society, and health cannot be ignored.
