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.

Let the Waters Flow

If you’ve been following us for a time, you know that we’ve been hauling water with the tractor to the cattle herd for four years. Four years of filling a huge tank on a trailer with the garden hose for 75 minutes, then hauling it to wherever the herd is grazing and filling 5 or 6 stock tanks. Then doing it again the next day. And the next day. This is why we are SO STOKED to share that our water system is complete!

Celebrating Healthy Soils

As I write this, slow and steady rain is falling from overcast skies upon our thirsty pastures. We are thrilled! Our part of Athens County is still experiencing the highest category of drought according to the US Drought Monitor. Much of Ohio has been in varying degrees of drought since late June — making this year the 16th driest on record in Athens County.

Summer in Review: Highs and Lows of Farming

August is coming to an end and we are reflecting on this hot, gorgeous, dry, heartwarming, tiring, accomplished summer. Farming certainly has its highs and lows. Some days we are delighted by watering the cattle as the sun sets. Other days we are overwhelmed by the massive projects ahead of us. Most days we are fulfilled.
