Hello friends and family,

We thought we’d take a page from the non-profit book and create our first farm annual report! After all, regenerative farms like ours create many social and environmental impacts that are worth documenting.

While CJ thinks more often of the future and the exciting possibilities to come, Molly often lingers on the past and the many memories worth reliving. You’ll find both of us in these pages, as we reflect on the major year that was 2023 and as we strategize for growth in 2024.

Below is one of our favorite pages! Read the full report to see shoutouts, save-the-dates, and what’s in store for us (and you!) this year. Download the full report here.

We had a baby!

A baby calf that is. On Monday, Feb 24th we welcomed our first birth on the farm. We didn’t know mama cow was giving birth until CJ checked on her in the late morning and found a little bull calf cuddled up in the bedding and mama still shedding her afterbirth. You may wonder how this can be our first calf when we’ve been raising cattle for 5 years. We have always been a “stocker operation” which means we buy calves from other farms once they’re weaned and raise them for 18-20 months for beef. We made this choice very consciously.

A Humbling Award

What an honor. We were awarded the Beginning Farmer Award from the Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association at their annual farm conference this weekend. Thank you Lauren Hirtle for nominating us and for bringing us into the policy world to share our farm story with legislators!
