I noticed water below our outdoor freezer today and opened it up to find that a lot of the meat was starting to defrost. We aren’t sure if the seal has an issue or something else is wrong but it was a very close call. Luckily we salvaged all of the meat because I caught it quickly. We had nearly a half-cow’s worth of beef inside it. It would be a big loss for anyone to have to throw away that amount of meat, but for us, it has the added layer of meaning: we raised that cow. We are grateful for the food in a way we took for granted before becoming farmers.

Thankfully the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture doesn’t need to be frozen! Keep it with you inside your house fridge. I used to get chronic cavities and it stopped my longtime battle - I finally started getting perfect checkups at the dentist! Taking it is part of my daily routine which will now also include checking our freezers! https://greenpasture.org/

One of our chickens went downhill fast over the weekend and died Sunday morning. As is our practice, we took her out to the big oak tree in our pasture under which Freckles the horse was the first to be buried - and now rests alongside several other animals. Farming teaches so much about life and death, and I have noticed the kids do not react to it the way I always assumed kids do. My friends often ask, “How did the kids handle it?” And the answer is, “Fine, honestly.”

With this chicken, we had prayed for her Saturday night and asked God for His will to be done, petitioning that she either be healed or taken swiftly so she would not suffer. And when she died in Lily’s arms the next morning, Lily said, “well, God answered our prayers.”

Someone told me once that there are two kinds of animals on a farm, living ones and dead ones. There is no escaping the reality of death on a farm and while I spent much of my early life completely petrified of sickness and death, both TV ...

Hei Hei the rooster tries to flex his dominance on me so I needed some new moves. I consulted with my kids’ gym coach and tried out what I learned. I think it worked?!

As a 44-yr old mom of little kids and rooster wrangler, I never miss a day of taking the fermented cod liver/butter oil from Green Pasture which keeps my bones and teeth strong thanks to vitamins A, D & K as well as omega 3s! Not all fish oil is created equal and this stuff helped me end my longtime battle with chronic cavities 15 years ago.

And there it is. Border Patrol enforcement turns domestic on citizens. Some of us knew this was coming. While some were too deceived to see the game.
