We opened our restaurant today.

In farming, raising the food is only part of the problem. Getting the food on the customer’s plate requires a lot more than raising a crop or an animal. All foods that come from a farm need some sort of processing. In my case, I raise animals so the animals need to be butchered. Customers… Continue reading Some more thoughts on distribution

I think people are getting the idea that “Regenerative” means “Organic++” or something, and it’s going to cost more money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let me try to break down the argument why you should spend less to get more with regenerative products. First, the reason why so many farmers are excited… Continue reading If it’s regenerative, it should be cheaper

It’s hard to find good resources that are accurate and relevant for regenerational graziers like myself regarding hoof rot or hoof scald. I thought I’d share my notes to see if it helps someone else. For starters, I do not have answers. I did not perform any scientific experiments. I just tried some things and… Continue reading My notes on hoof rot / hoof scald in hair sheep on pasture

There is already enough grass that the sheep (leading the cows) may not need hay at all. I’m not going to start the… Continue reading Spring is actually here finally

First, temperatures don’t add like masses or velocities. They don’t multiply or divide in any meaningful way either. This is because the temperature is not a quantity… Continue reading Some notes on weather and such

I must have watched this video years ago. This man speaks my language. Using fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides is killing our soil. Ruminants like cattle and sheep, as well as chickens and more are the key to bringing back life to our soil. Healthy living soil will create an ideal environment for forage that feeds… Continue reading One hundred thousand beating hearts

I decided to put together a video to go over my plans for 2025. This video also goes into the philosophy and ideas behind the plans. Of note, I am going to try and bring chickens and pigs on to the farm. I may do something with bees or veggies as well, and maybe do… Continue reading 2025 Plans
