We have officially become MAEAP certified!! This means that our farming techniques have kept the land clean and in good standing order for future use. Earning this sign has been a huge accomplishment. As only 5% of farms actually comply with the high standards that meap requires. Our good friend kannon helped us through the process and today (as Braylen is putting it) "we passed the test!" This sign comes at a bittersweet time but it is helping our hearts affirm that we did our best and that was enough!

Hi friends, the time has come to share some sad news. We are unfortunately getting out of farming. :( this was not a decision that has come easy. Quite the contrary, it has torn us up from the inside with the concept of letting go what has become a genuine love for our animals and the land they reside on.
As many of you know we leased land from my family. As you may also know, it's not always a good idea to pour countless hours time and money into something that you do not own, but we took a risk. Unfortunately business with family was hard to manage and it ended up ruining relations which was never the goal. For the sake of hoping to repair whats been broken we have decided to give up the farm and focus on other opportunities that God may have for us.
It breaks our heart to say that we are done. We tried our best, we gave out all and we are leaving the farm in a much better state than where it was, and for that we are extremely proud of what we accomplished there. So we will hold on the the memories and pray that some day an opportunity will come for us to get back into farming, be it near or far.

* The love and support of our friends and community has been so encouraging over the years, and at times has been the only thing keeping us going. We are thankful for each and every one of you who followed or journey and invested in us in some way. We have definitely felt the love!
To say we are ok right now would be a lie, selling our cows was the hardest decision we've ever had to make. but Im hoping time heals the wounds that feel all too real right now.
Please pray that relationship with my family can be mended and that we find the path that God has for our lives bc honestly at this time we feel lost.

Also if someone knows a small farm or sanctuary that would take in Braylens pet baby cow Orion. We are looking at options and would love to be able to visit him throughout his life. He is friend, not food ;).

And if your wondering why I put a picture of a pineapple, it was a gift from the gentleman who bought our cattle. He brought it back to us from his trip to Hawaii. And my was it delicious!!! Something sweet out of a sour situation. The gesture meant a lot to us.

Thank you again for your support. Our hard work was not in vain and has taught us a lot about life and caring for animals. We will hopefully be able to look back with fond memories of the good times we had and be proud of the work we did here on my grandpas farm. 💔

We have a meeting today that will determine our future in farming.
Please pray for God's will to be done and for family relationships to be mended.

If anyone ever asks us why our farm is so dusty I'm just going to show them this video...not like we needed grass to grow there anyways. 🫣🤣

Orion our bottle baby still thinks he's a baby and wants to head butt for more grain.
He's a goofy goober that brings us lots of laughs.

Our new bull. We call him pretty boy for a reason. Isn't he gorgeous, his coat just shimmers and shines when he walks.

It's days like today that remind us, if farming was easy everyone would do it...but it's not. That's just the reality of it.
Processing day is never easy and it comes with days of emotions prior to the actual event. You go to sleep thinking about it and you wake up with your stomach in knots knowing what's to come. You raise these animals. Watch them grow everyday. Gain their trust. Then one day you separate them from the herd as you prepare for their last day...they know.. they sense it. You hope they don't feel betrayed but inside you know they know. We give these animals the best life we can with only one bad day. And it's never easy. Never easy to say goodbye.

Today we are blessed to be farmers.
Not because it's easy. Not because it's fun but because we get a chance to love on some of God's creatures, who have in many ways brought so much joy into our lives. Its never fun to say goodbye so instead we say thank you. Thank you God for the opportunity we've had to be good stewards of your land and the animals you've provided for us.
So please remember when you purchase meat from a small family farm I promise you it has been raised with love and care. And know, that your support goes deeper than just a Pocket book. You support fuels the soul of the farmer and makes what we do feel like we are making a difference in people's lives. So thank you.

Days like today almost break you. It makes you question your entire life decisions. But it also gives you a sense of gratitude in knowing that you did your absolute best and gave it your all.. So today we grieve but tomorrow we will be right back at it, doing what do and working tirelessly for these animals that we love like family...
And even on the very sad days like today these animals never cease to make you laugh.. check out dutches new hair do. 😌😁
