Spent some time yesterday working on corners so we can fence in another field and expand grazing. When you only have evenings after work and tiny slots of the weekends to work on farm stuff... it makes fence building a slow process. Lol.

However I do think the way we did these corners will make the fence look better than the standard "H" corners. I may still put a brace on some of the longer corners. This space that we "fenced around" (where you see the tractor and ATV sitting) is where we plan to do an honors based farm stand at some point one day if interest is high enough. For now we're sticking to drop off orders on Saturdays. You can see one simple corner bracing before... and after. What do you think? Does this bracing with 2x6" lumber look better than standard H bracing?

We mentioned in a post recently that bees are dying this year at an alarming rate. We experienced it first hand ourselves, I even made a video about it.

This portion below from the article particularly resonates with us because our bees had tons of honey when they died and it wasn't a cold winter at all.

“Colonies that are completely dead with dead bees in them, they have plenty of honey. So we know that they didn’t starve. We can also tell by looking that it’s not weather-related or cold. Sometimes, when it gets really cold, the bees can’t get to where the honey is. That’s not what’s happening this year,” said Anderson.

So last weekend we worked on a project to continue improving the appearance of our mobile drop off trailer. We greet a lot of our customers in it when we talk with them each weekend and hand them their food purchases. So we wanted inside to be as inviting as we hope the outside is. So we painted inside and installed flooring and quarter round at the bottom to tie it all together. We think it turned out really great for a couple of DIY'ers and we think it looks a lot more professional and inviting. Now my wife will work on decorating it a bit when she gets the time to pull the farm theme together. We're likely to have to add another freezer soon as we begin adding pasture raised pork to our offerings to our chicken, eggs, and milk.

What do you guys think? Is it an improvement from the stock trailer look?

We would love to meet you if you're in Eastern NC and want to personally know the farmers that raise the highest quality food possible! Check us out at:

Do you know where your food is coming from???

Lots of people shop at Costco because its a little "crunchier" than many places, with options for seed oil free items and grass finished and vaccine free versions of meat.

However, its just come out that a huge beef supplier to Costco vaccinates their cattle quietly without sharing it publicly.

Buy your pasture raised chicken, pork, eggs, and raw milk locally from a farmer you know. Someone who shares your values and isn't going to drop MRNA vaxxines in your meat.

Some days... you set out thinking its going to be a simple project or you're going to just run out and pick up supplies. Then everything goes wrong when the road goes left unexpectedly (figuratively speaking). Lol. That's what happened to us last weekend.

Between shredded tires and having axle hub lug nuts shear off our trailer (two different problems) during a feed run that was 2 hours away... to problems with an unexpected calving... boy was it a challenging 48 hours!

I've been looking for a less expensive grapple to buy for the front of my tractor. We still have quite a bit of large debris from the logging that was done a year ago and getting a grapple would be a huge time saver to help pile up what our pigs have pushed around.

The other day I saw a local hardware store had brand new 72" grapples for a lot cheaper than I've been finding. They are made by an American company called Nolan Manufacturing located in the center of the state. He had a couple on the back of a trailer and I decided to get one. I think this will be a game changer on the farm to clean up some areas, can't wait to try it out!

Meet one of the newest additions to our little homestead. This is Rose and she's a Jersey heifer that's about 10 months old. We bought her from another homestead about 2.5 hours away that was getting out of the raw milk business.

Once she's old enough to breed, she will be one of the raw milk producers on our farm. For now, she's just eating lots of green pasture and growing like crazy.

This morning is a drop off day for products for our local community. Its also warm enough now to move our first batch of broilers (meat chickens) on to pasture. Last year we moved our first batch of 80 chicks to pasture and a week later a pack of coyotes dug into the tractor and made a feast off all 80. It was a complete loss. We had made a horrible judgment call to have the tractor situated away from our livestock guardian dogs.

After that we moved all the tractors to be with the dogs and we didn't lose a single chicken after that. This year, we're starting with that lesson learned and are situating the chicks to be guarded by our Boz Shepherds. From the moment they went in... she saw them as her charge and stayed right beside them.

There's a lot being glossed over in the news right now about what happened this spring with honey bees. In fact, it should be a leading story but its not. People are more concerned with bickering over DOGE's findings in the social security administration, but in reality this may have a bigger impact on whether people eat or not.

You need to watch this and share with other groups as well.

We continued our next fencing project this weekend by putting in corner posts. We used the electric poles I shared the other day that we cut up. We planted this field two falls ago (2023) when we started leasing the space. I planted it in clover, fescue, and some rye grass just to give it some cover crop while things got established.

Then last year's drought hit hard. What a horrible year to be converting land into pasture. We made the decision to sacrifice another space and fed hay in it to keep cows off this while it got established. I mowed the rye grass and let everything sit all winter and spring. We had a little rain over the winter which helped.

When we went to start fencing this year, I was amazed at how lush and tall the clover was. This UTV sits about 8 inches off the ground and the clover comes right up to the floor board. We'll finish the fence and then move the cows in. However without rain...we're headed right back into a drought situation.

We recently bought a pregnant sow and four feeder Idaho Pasture pigs from one of our favorite "local" homesteaders. After a brief introduction in a smaller paddock, we let them out into one of our larger rotational paddocks. They were munching on grass and rooting in piles of pinestraw looking for worms and grubs. Seeing how happy pigs are in a natural environment is so rewarding.

When you live where we do, "local" homesteaders are quite a drive. In this case it was about 3 hours. Where we live is rural but there are people. The challenge is that there's negative population growth. Everyone leaves to find work in bigger cities and nobody comes back. Also... the people that remain are typically completely bought into the current agricultural and economic constructs.

We still have several large fields that need to be fenced in on our little farm. A friend of the family was kind enough to give us some electric poles they had lying around. The plan is to use these large poles for corner posts and then use smaller fencing posts for the straight runs. Lots of work to be done in that process.

However, before that can be done, we have to remove the grounding wire and nails and then cut the electric poles into post length sections roughly 7.5 feet long. You can see I've marked them in the picture where I need to cut them. The weather has once again turned very dry for this time of year and I hope this isn't going to turn into another drought like last summer when it was brutally dry here. We need rain soon if that green grass in the pictures is going to stay green.

Guys... this isn't normal. We've been conditioned to think it is... but its not. You can see where the green on the side of the road stops abruptly at the ditch. The field is then brown and dry. It wasn't that way a week or so ago. It was super green too. However, the farmer (instructed by the USDA and BigAg) sprayed the entire field with roundup (aka glyphosate) and it kills indiscriminately. Now the next rain we get... where do you think that glyphosate is running off to? That's right... our fresh water ways where many get their drinking water.

Buy from local farmers like us who don't use glyphosate (or any other man-made herbacides) on their farms.

Hey everyone! I know we have followers from all over the world, but for those who live in Eastern NC... please let us know if you hear of anyone selling a used outdoor pig feeder like this one. The brand isn't important but the way it works is.

Well, it took a couple of days of trying, but we were able to get an older dairy cow that wouldn't breed, had a bad leg, and wasn't in milk along with our first pig over to the processor yesterday morning.

The hardest one (by a long shot) was our pig. His name was Freezer and he was somewhere around 400lbs I'd guess. We'll know hanging weight today probably. I built a ramp to make the step into the trailer smaller, parked the trailer out there in the paddock for several days and even fed him in there... but nothing worked. On the evening before we were due at the processor, our last ditch effort was to lure him on with some left over raw milk and that finally worked. Our dairy cow was much easier and she went in with some coaxing...even with the bad leg. We hates to get rid of her, but everything on our farm needs to serve a purpose.

The cow will feed our family and depending on how our first pig goes, we may have pork available for customers soon. We are excited and thankful to God for the blessings.
