Atlas and our new rooster, Henry, setting their pecking order. Neither was harmed and both have found their little “cluck” of ladies.

When you start with locally raised beef, you can taste the difference in every bite.🍴 This week we’re featuring a cozy comfort favorite, Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast - a simple, yet hearty dish that truly lets the quality of the meat shine.

🥩 Farm fresh roast
🌿 Seasoned just enough
🧈 A touch of butter
🌶️ Tangy peppers

Slow cooked all day, it’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious and perfect for serving over mashed potatoes, rice, or tucked into a warm sandwich. Choosing local, pasture-raised beef not only supports your community but it also means fresher, healthier meals for your family. Now that’s comfort food with a purpose. 💚

With the heat and humidity in full force, we decided it was time to give the animals a well-deserved break. They’ve worked hard all summer long, persevering through the long days, and it’s only fair they get some downtime before the seasons change.🐑🐴 🐓

The past few days have been a little quieter around here. Our focus has been on keeping everyone cool, comfortable, and making sure those waterers stay filled and fresh. 💦

Behind the scenes, we’ve also been gearing up for the final months of 2025.🤯 This year is flying by and we want to make sure we’re capturing every moment to share with y’all!

Thank you for following along and being part of the farm family.💙 Stay tuned for more updates, farm friends, and the (hopefully) cooler weather on the way!🍂

Football season is here and that means tailgates, watch parties, and finger foods fit for royalty. So be the real MVP at your next tailgate with today's Farm to Table Friday feature - Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers.🌶🥓

Made with fresh jalapenos and creamy cheese, then wrapped in smoky bacon, they're guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.🙌

🏈 Pro Tip: Try cooking these on the grill to add a little extra flair! Set your grill to about 425* and cook for about 6 minutes. Flip them over as your bacon begins to crisp. Turn down the heat to about medium-low and grill an additional 10-12 minutes.

Check out the recipe!📜
