Llama Shed…

June 18, 2012August 12, 2019 Gretchen

The llamas have been in need of a bigger, better shed for quite some time now.  So Randy gathered up some reclaimed wood and got to work on a "new" shed for the girls. The only lumber we had to buy were 2 4x4.  The rest was reclaimed from a fairly new shed that blew… Continue reading Llama Shed…

A Day In the City…

June 16, 2012July 4, 2012 Gretchen

Randy and I took a day away from the farm to hang out and hit some vintage stores and thrift stores.  On our way to a VW shop we took a back street and saw this really cool fence. And this skinny little building. It was between the railroad tracks and a busy street.  Not sure… Continue reading A Day In the City…

Just a Quick Update…

There is nothing better than the feeling we get when we can provide food for ourselves. We don't have a huge garden this year, but we have a nice little selection of produce at our fingertips.

Adopting one child won't change the world; but for that child, the world will change.

I am a wife to my wonderful husband and the mama to two beautiful girls adopted from China. We are currently in the process of bringing another child home from China to join our family.
We have turned what was once a animal production farm into an animal sanctuary where animals are allowed to live out their lives in peace. We are striving for a simple life. We want to be able to provide ourselves with most of the items we need to survive; only buying things when absolutely necessary. We now strive to provide a portion of our family's food through organic gardening. I cook from scratch, make my own vegan cheese and nut milks, and make my own non-toxic cleaning products. Please join us as we transition from a Nourishing Tradition-style kitchen to a vegan-ish kitchen and from a sheep farm to a farm sanctuary.
