Show Kindness

I’ve been a little quiet lately. Besides being crazy busy with start up, (which is going great and I promise an update soon!) I’ve been avoiding social media. So I’m just going to leave this simple reminder here. Be the change you want to see. Not quite sure how to start? Start simple…….show kindness! The […]

First Week in the Barn

The Ladies have now spent their first week in the barn! Luckily the transition has gone really well and we are looking forward to starting milking this week. We have been moving them up to the new barn after morning milking and letting them stay all day until it’s time to bring them back down […]

Monthly Barn Report: September

Here comes the 5th Monthly Barn Report: September. At this point we were wondering how in the world it was already September! Throw in a construction project to daily dairy farm life and the days seem to just disappear in minutes. By the first of September it was thankfully still dry (notice no mud!) and […]
