Farm Dinner
Wow, I still get goosebumps looking back at our first farm dinner. We were blessed with the most perfect weather and our guests were absolutely the greatest.
When we bought this farm in 2017 all we could talk about is how perfectly it was set up for a night just like this. Bonfire, outdoor dining and great views. This dinner was all of that and so much more.
We want to thank each and every one of our guests that made this evening special. Along with our caterer Brix Cider for helping highlight some of the bounty of our farm, and those of our local friends. Without all of you this night wouldn’t have been the same.
I also want to give a shout-out to Larissa Marie Photography for capturing these memories for us and my sister and brother-in-law for helping make our guest’s experience all that it was.
Until next year…
Shredded Beef Adobo served in Red Cabbage Leaf
Lamb Meatballs with Mint Chimichurri and Greens with Mustard Vinaigrette
Farm | The Great Release
... the 'big boys', AKA anyone over 300 pounds, is out on pasture! Sure we've been working tirelessly since March on getting critters out on the green grass (no it wasn't green in March but we were anticipating the green-up!) but it always seems that when you look back on the work, you forget how much work it really was.
and just like that...
... the 'big boys', AKA anyone over 300 pounds, is out on pasture! Sure we've been working tirelessly since March on getting critters out on the green grass (no it wasn't green in March but we were anticipating the green-up!) but it always seems that when you look back on the work, you forget how much work it really was. I'm counting on forgetting the work it took to put in these pastures by September when round #2 comes along.
Today we released the first four including our biggest troublemaker Sampson (though our little ewe lamb Ellie is giving him a run for his money) out to graze. In an effort to keep everyone from over-eating we let them out on the lesser value grass as too much of a good thing too fast can cause some major issues. So when we transition each spring from hay to lush pasture we do it slowly, so no one has tummy problems, I can talk like that being a cattle mama too, right?
We're on schedule to get the littles out next week so that we can celebrate the fourth with no work. I'm also planning on getting back to making dinner, cleaning the house, wedding my garden and going on bike rides with Matthew.
