Hello and Happy New Year! January has been cold so far in North Florida and we have flurries forecasted for next week! 🥶 ❄️ Our cows are getting plenty of hay and that’s the most important thing in keeping them warm. Their stomachs act as a furnace so as long as they have forage in front of them, they will stay warm! The calves also love to sleep in the hay. We will have beef available every month this year. And we are off to a great start - we are almost sold out through March. If you know...

Happy Thanksgiving! I don't know about you, but I love Thanksgiving. I like to take time to reflect on the year and be grateful for all the experiences - both good and not so good - this past year has had. I'm constantly in awe of the work God is doing in our lives and we are just so, so blessed to be farming as a family. This is literally the life my husband and I dreamed of for many years and it is not lost on us that we are living it! This year we have provided approximately 1,350lbs of...

Hello October! I have deja vu as I type this. In our September newsletter I was talking about Hurricane Debby and now I'm talking about Hurricane Helene. I think everyone can relate when I say, no more storms please!!! We were impacted by all 3 that have come ashore in the Big Bend in the last 13 months but thankfully we have been very fortunate. We lost the majority of our barn in Idalia and the rest is gone from Helene but all of our animals are safe and so is our family! We will rebuild...

Hi There! August was a whirlwind - literally! Our area had another direct hit from a major hurricane. Debby was more of a rain event and since our property sits high we were spared any flooding. We had some trees damaged but nothing compared to Idalia last year, thank goodness! Our steers continue to grow and are a great looking bunch! We took a couple of cows to the butcher this month and our customers, as well as us, will be picking up our fresh beef next week! I cannot wait to fill our...

Hi there! I hope you all had a great 4th of July yesterday! We kept it low key, a small cookout with my Mom and hanging by the pool. The boys made an American flag cake It has been HOT! We had no rain in June, it was all around us but we kept getting skipped. Finally a little over a week ago our daily thunderstorms returned and our fields are loving it! The grass is green and growing nicely again. This is our first summer since we harvested all our pines and we are excited to see how the...
