We're grateful for the rain. Because of it, we had to harvest onions early as they were going to rot in the soil otherwise. Some were already headed there and we had to cut some sections out that were soft. However, we still have bags and bags that are now frozen and ready to use.

My wife uses our UTV every day on the farm. Day before yesterday she told me she needed to put air in the tires on one side, which is not normal. Sure enough... I checked yesterday morning and both tires were completely flat. Checked with a bottle of soapy water and sure enough... there were two decent holes in both... no "slow leak" but fast ones. I'm sure she inadvertently ran over a board or something stationary w…

The turkeys we have out on pasture are growing out nicely. Hard to believe that were already talking about taking pre-orders for Thanksgiving. We're a small operation so we only grow out 20-30 a year, as we tend to sell a lot more chickens. You can see how the turkeys are excellent grazers at this age as the path from their mobile enclosure shows the eaten grass from the prior two daily moves. They leave their manure…

4 Aug 2026, 02:00 UTC235 views9 reactionsread 7 August 2026 The question really circles around at some point about why we grow so much corn when about 75% of the corn raised in the US isn't used for feeding people directly. In the case of feeding cattle... these are animals that God specifically designed to eat grass. Ethanol damages more engines every year than standard gasoline and why do we need to feed other countries' animals?
Ethanol uses about 35% to 40% of the U.S. c…

I had so many people respond to our post about weed eating fence lines when you do regenerative agriculture and don't use herbicides on your pastures. Many said something similar about using goats to clean the fence line, so I thought I'd share more.
The issue is the outside of the fence line (see picture) as it runs down the road and neighbor's property lines. The cattle clean the inside of the fence line just fine…

That's the kind of livestock guardian dog you want. The layers are free roaming all around her and she keeps the hawks, eagles, foxes, and coyotes away. We had our mobile coop in a different pasture away from our LGDs a few weeks ago... and foxes often try to catch a opportunistic meal from an open door. These chickens are always safer being protected by our LGD.

Well... I took today off from my 8-5 "day job" to process another round of chickens for our farm business. Often we're able to start early enough that I can be done before heading to work. Today however, we're doing a big batch that will take a good portion of the morning. I still have to set up the tent... but this is how chicken processing should be... open fresh air, sanitizing sunlight, and green grass as far as …

A friend of ours has an apple tree that produces prolific amounts of apples and this year has been great. He gave us several 5 gallon buckets of apples that we can use to make applesauce for the kids. Im amazed at the different growing seasons in the US. Where we lived last in the Midwest, September and October were apple harvesting times but here in Eastern NC, its July!

For most of the year, we were facing drought conditions. All last summer and fall we were in a drought too. Currently to date for July (which isnt over yet) we've had a little over 17 inches of rain. The pastures have exploded with life... albeit soggy life. We are grateful to God for allowing the storehouse of rain to open.
This is where AMP grazing continues to shine. Even with 5 inch rains like the one we receive…

Them: How dedicated are you to regenerative agriculture?
Me: So much that I was out there this morning chopping dog fennel with a machete in pastures, and pulling it up by the root so I don't use any herbicides where our cattle graze.
Thats what regenerative farmers do to keep from using chemicals on their farm and keep your food safe. You want to know why their food is more expensive than the trash in the store? T…

Why would a small regenerative farm drive 2 hours just to buy animal feed?
In this video, we're taking you along on one of our regular feed runs as we haul nearly 8,000 pounds of non-GMO livestock feed back to the farm using our dump trailer.
For us, this trip is about much more than buying feed. It's about supporting a local family-o…

This is how you get gas when you have a small farm operation. We dont have gas trucks show up and fill up large tanks that are on the farm, we take a whole bunch of gas cans every few weeks and fill them up. Scale matters and small farms and ranches don't do things like big farms do because they can't.
