Life on the Farm

Have you ever wondered what the day to day looks like on a livestock farm or ranch? Well I did! I grew up moving to mainly bigger cities, living on military bases and longing for a quieter life. I never knew that God would answer that desire with where we are now but man am I glad He did!

I married into a farming family that operated a certified organic row crop farm in Southwest Minnesota, which I knew NOTHING about haha. Needless to say, it was trial by fire when we moved back to the farm the weekend after we got married. There were many late nights and early mornings together in the tractor with Brandon attempting to explain the intricacies of farm life... Much of which went over my head at the time. He tried to be patient and luckily we also had his parents to help ease me in to the farm life. 

Fast forward a few years and I have found my passion for the farm. From researching the best forage mixes for our livestock to being out in our pasture, watching our cattle graze. It never ceases to amaze me how something so simple could stir up so many emotions. I know I know, a mom with young kids... not too hard to show emotions haha. 

Seriously though, I stand out in our pasture in awe of God's handiwork in the seemingly mundane tasks we do. Our on pasture jobs of mixing feed, moving our cattle to new paddocks, watering our cattle, taking feed out to our chickens and picking eggs. Then we transition to in-store jobs of candling, weighing and packing eggs, pulling meat for pickup and shipping orders as well as stocking our in-store display cases.

I find immense joy knowing that what we are raising is not only feeding our family but I get the opportunity to pack eggs and meat for other families to enjoy. Being in our store makes me SO happy because I get to pray over those families and I am thankful for that gift each day! We are also kicking off updated store hours as of this week! I encourage you to come out and see us or maybe even set up a farm tour so that we can get to know you better!

New Store Hours: Thursdays 5-7pm & Saturdays 1-4pm

Amazing Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

My mother-in-law has the BEST chicken noodle soup recipe I have ever had in my life! It is something that every kid and grandkid asks for when we are over at their house and it never disappoints. However, when we started raising our own chickens, she had to do a bit of testing, especially since we raise a different breed than she is familiar cooking with.  After some trial and error she has found that our instant pot makes the juiciest, tender meat to pair wonderfully with her soup recipe. Whether you are looking for a soup recipe for a chilly night in or need to feed a crowd on a budget, this recipe is for you! Be prepared though, you will have people asking you to make it every time they come to visit!  If you enjoy this recipe, I would encourage to sign up for our email list. We send out a new recipe every month and they are always taste tested and approved by us! SIGN ME UP   Place 1 Organic, pasture-raised Triple Silo Meats chicken into your instant pot along with...

What!?! A CARNIVORE Diet?

Do you or other family members have issues with chronic illness or autoimmune diseases? We do... which is, in part, what lead us to change our focus on the farm and in life. I won't lie, it is a work in progress .  I have my own health struggles with my thyroid and blood pressure. I have been in a season of adding and subtracting from my diet, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. Changing from eating store bought bread, to homemade bread, then again to homemade sourdough bread. It can be time consuming and seem very overwhelming to constantly be changing what you are eating and never sure how your body is going to feel.  Although bread was a huge part of my change thus far and is an easy target when modifying diet... The meat we eat plays a big role in the nutrient content of our diet and how I feel each day. We knew organic was better, not having chemicals or pesticides used on our pasture. We also knew grass-fed & grass-finished provides higher nutrient cont...
