December Farm Video Tour

Good Morning from your farmer,

What our country needs are thousands of small family farms serving their communities with healthy food raised naturally and sold locally.

Friday, December 15th I meet up with Olivia here on our farm to make a video that she would then share on their YouTube channel. Olivia and her husband Paul once owned a small direct market farm in Indiana...then sold their farm to travel and interview farmers and share their stories. You can watch Olivia and the other farms they have interviewed at this link.

So, I decided to make the video to support my belief that what our country needs are thousands of small family farms serving their communities with healthy food raised naturally and sold locally. I believe what we are doing should be duplicated around the country and hopefully there will be those watching that might be interested.

Her visit was 3-hours, but Paul did a good job of condencing the conversation to about 55 minutes. In the video you will hear about my background as well as conversation around key activities like soil health, compost, and our plants.

Here is the link on our YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy and please leave your comments or reply to this email.

Farm & Market Updates

Market Update – Our farm objective is to raise nutrient dense meats without all the chemicals, vaccines, hormones, and etc. And be able to provide them to a community of families at a reasonable price. We measure success based on pounds sold verses dollars earned. Current beef prices are making that harder to accomplish as families seek options to reduce their food bills. I know we have not passed along the full impact of higher prices to our customers which means we are not making as much as before nor are we selling as much beef.
