We have a "newsletter". If you sign up for the newsletter you'll get periodic updates from the farm. Topics range from "upcoming events" to "times when Febreze is a suitable alternative to showering". It's little slices of life from the farm, often funny because laughter is a stress-relieving necessity. It's not a hard-sell kinda newsletter because we're really terrible at hard-selling anything.

Cold
Cold. The temps dropped from daily averages of 60 to 25. It’s the kind of cold snap that keeps you up at night fretting about the animals. I really only fret about two things at night: Stock tank heaters … Continue reading
