Welcome to the farm! These little buds get a dose of ACV and a little blow drying before they get released in the brooder.

Two machines in repose. @ajacobgalle has been getting our new mower ready to mow some hay. For us getting hay in is a seasonal benchmark, strain and relief all in one. • I can’t say as a whole it is my favorite farm activity, I do love the wind in my hair, the smell of the fields and the sense of accomplishment. It also reminds me of running though, the last mile or last 10 minutes on the treadmill where you are pretty@much giving yourself a non-stop pep talk to keep on going. #applecreekfarm

Ida and Jake atop our pile of soil made by the excavation for our new manure storage area. I love Ida’s jowls in this shot! What I love even more is knowing this project will allow us to more readily realize our dream of improving our farm’s soil. Thanks to @usdagov and our awesome NRCS field agent for making this happen. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge how much I appreciate our taxes going to projects like these. #applecreekfarm

One of my favorite photos of the farm this week. • Our new home and the elderly, rusting dump truck we rely on to help as the barns get cleaned out. • Two grand dreams, one largely accomplished and the other our vocation and therefore never “done.” • Our manure is probably as important as the meat & eggs we sell. • Manure feeds the land, enabling the grass to grow, feed our animals and in turn nourish us. #applecreekfarm

We used to be skeptical of how well Cornish cross chickens could grow on pasture. ☘️🌱🌿 I specifically remember scoffing at a mentor of ours when she pointed out that they consume much less grain than the hybrid birds we were raising (and still raise). 🐓 Over the years we have found a hatchery that gets as healthy Cornish Cross chicks and we’ve improved our housing so they thrive. As you can see they do just fine and love doing “chicken things” #applecreekfarm applecreekfarm

On the left, where the sheep have been and the ladies (and lambs) hard at work on a fresh paddock. 🌱🌿☘️ Anybody know why moving sheep around like this is good? Please share-
