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.

Except goats.
Buy a goat.

Throw-Back Thursday: Red Mountain, 1976
May 8, 1976. Dad is on the roof of the house, laying asphalt shingles. He can drive a roofing nail with one whack of the hammer, almost as fast as a pneumatic nail gun. He has one good leg, one … Continue reading
