Beautiful! I love being greeted every day to my colorful girls and eggs

The price of eggs at the grocery store isn't cheap. We've just been paying in other currencies.

Land degraded. Birds that never saw sunlight. Communities that absorb the externalized costs of industrial operations. Biodiversity that got optimized away in the name of efficiency.

At Alchemist Farm, our chicks cost more. Our eggs cost more. That's because the real costs are actually in the price.

I'm not here to make anyone feel bad about where they shop. I'm here to say that a different model exists — and it works, financially and ecologically, over the long haul.

For the business owners in this community: every supply chain is either externalizing cost onto the world or absorbing it responsibly. The businesses learning to talk honestly about why they made the harder choice are finding that consumers are more ready than expected, we are all in this together - may we all stand up and take better care of the earth together!

Support horses before it's too late

🚨🚨🚨Our country is losing around 2,000 acres of farmland daily.

As farmland dissipates, equine facilities and trails face increasing risk. ELCR is the ONLY national nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to equine land conservation. We support communities seeking to protect horse farms, trails, and open space through education, technical assistance, and advocacy. 🌲🐴

We are excited to share our 2026-2028 Strategic Plan and are looking forward to expanding and strengthening ELCR's impact in the coming years. But we need YOUR help to make it all happen!

Today I am handing over the reins.

After 20 years being the steward of an incredible property and stable, enjoying a lifestyle that few can image, I am passing on this privilege to the new owners of Green Vista Stables.

Welcome to Kolja & Sabrina Reiss who are now the new owners. After years of searching for the right people who will carry on and build upon what we have created, I can retire and let the next generation carry on the stewardship of the land and the care of the equine and human barn members.

My gratitude to all who have been a part of this wonderful barn community, sharing their support, friendship, and commitment to providing the best environment and care of their equine family members.
