You probably wouldn't believe us if we told you our "plans" when we started back in 2004. No farming in our background, no knowledge of animals, no business experience, no house, no electricity, and no water. Just bare land and a dad and mom with four energetic young...

As the sun is barely rising above the horizon, we gather the cows from the pasture and lead them through a interconnected maze of lanes back to the barn for milking. Due to the need for quality pasture, we sometimes split off the dairy animals from the main herd of...
Turkeys are the watchdog on the farm these days. You barely get within sight and they begin chirping to announce they've seen you. Now about half grown, the toms proudly strut out their feathers to show their colors. If you surprise them with a noise, they'll often...
