Ramblings From Ole Ma... 
This Old Ma’s heart is full of gratitude! We opened the farm stand for just two days over the weekend, and oh, the love and support you all showed! It was like a balm for our weary souls. Your generosity lifted our spirits and reminded us of the community we’re blessed to be part of. As I watched folks come and go, sharing smiles and stories, it got me thinking about life’s surprises.

As winter blanketed the farm in its icy grip, we've grappled with the unavoidable truth that this season brings loss. While each departure weighs heavily on our hearts, two recent losses have been particularly significant. Big Bird, our cherished emu at the age of 37, bid us farewell after many years of companionship. While her departure was expected due to her age, it has left a profound void in our hearts. During her final hours, as we noticed she wasn't doing well, we brought her into the warmth of our home. For her last 24 hours, she was nestled under a blanket, surrounded by the comfort of our presence. It was a peaceful and intimate farewell, a fitting end for our dear feathered friend. Another somber loss that should be mentioned is the passing of Meri, our beautiful Berkshire sow. Taken from us tragically during the horrible cold snap that hit the Northwest. A fight with a basic infection coupled with that dangerous cold tipped the scales and unfortunately s

Hopping Right Along

It was right before the weather turned cold that our little FarmHer was gifted a colony of breeding rabbits. And true to rowdy Raye they couldn't just be cute cuddle buns, oh no! They had to of course be…  meat rabbits!  Yes, meat bunnies! It wasn't just the rabbits themselves, it was all the things that go along with them too. She and Ole Pa were tearing up the road dragging home the happy hoppers and all the paraphernalia that go along with them like cages, water system, feeders and more. Somehow they even managed to sneak in another barn kitten to add to our cat herd.  Now what? Raye, having grown up here where we have an almost obsessive need to provide more than adequate care for critters, decided the accompanying cages were not large enough. This, despite the fact that they are almost double in size of industry standards cages just wouldn't work for the pint size peanut. No, she wanted her bunnies living their best bunny lives in a happy family style colon

This week's newsletter will be a bit brief, as recent events have left our hearts heavy. There was a break-in at the farm, and it has been incredibly sad not seeing folks come and go, sharing in the simple joys of farm life. We've had to close the farm stand temporarily as we regroup and reassess.  It's a time of pulling in close, recalibrating, and finding our footing once more. The farm, which is usually a place of bustling activity and community, feels strangely silent without the daily interactions we cherish so much. Our hearts just aren't in it right now, as we navigate through this period of uncertainty and reflection. Through this, we lean on our faith and the comforting words of scripture. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." We hold onto this promise, trusting that even in this challenging time, He
