The pace of our slower winter season is already picking up…our first group of hogs for 2022 has arrived! They’ll be here on the farm, foraging under the trees and wallowing in the springtime mud.
With great excitement we just welcomed a late arrival, our final calf of 2021! A true miracle of life, mom will be closely watching over this beautiful bull calf.
Looking back on 2021, we can’t help but be thankful for what the land and animals have given to us. We care deeply about them and their impact on the environment. We wish everybody Happy Holiday’s! 🎄

Earlier this month we mentioned that we use compost as part of our efforts to increase soil health and biodiversity. Our in-vessel compost facility makes this possible and allows us to transform up to 1,000 tons of stable waste, garden waste, and food scraps from our facilities into nutrient dense compost every year!
The Arts Center looked spectacular dressed in the first snow of the season yesterday!
Today is World Soil Day, but when you practice healthy, generative farming everyday is soil day!⠀

All life depends on the soil so it’s important to protect it and make sure that we put more back into the ground than we take. We accomplish this on our farms with careful land management practices that include beneficial animal grazing practices, incredible composting systems, and letting fields rest in our Ley field rotation.
See the difference in grass colors?
The greener side is what we call stockpiled forage, a management practice that allows pastures to rest and accumulate late summer and fall growth for cattle and other livestock to graze when other forages go dormant. It helps minimize the use of hay feeding.
We're able to take advantage of our tall fescue as it is able to retain its green color and forage nutritive value. It is also a sod forming grass that covers the ground well and is somewhat low temperature resistant making an excellent forage to stockpile for our livestock.
