Heading Down a Familiar Path
Each new farm year begins with mixed emotions. There’s a comforting sense of familiarity as I make preparations for the months ahead. And yet I wonder: What challenging surprises are in store? What unexpected twists in the path lie ahead?
Will there be torrential rains like 2 years ago or a drought like last year? Will the livestock be healthy or will I need to fight to save their lives? Am I planning enough meat birds for our customers? Have I ordered too many piglets? Will the mama goats have does or bucks?
One purpose of my blog posts is to give you a look at the real life of a small farm. This year, I promise to continue that theme. I’ll certainly tuck in a recipe or product information here and there, but I’ll also share some behind-the-scene stories of our life on the farm. Perhaps a refreshing break from the heaviness of our world’s current events is something we all could use, if only for a moment.
Welcome to 2021, Farm Friends and Family! Let’s continue our walk together, down a familiar path at Love Led Farm.
Warmly,
I pray for a good year for your farm this year. I so enjoy these blog posts. (and recipes) It is a great distraction from all the heaviness.
I’ll say it again; your farm produces some of the best eggs I’ve ever had. And I’ll always be on the list for meat chickens!
Thanks, Steve. I miss our conversations and look forward to a return to your normal visits. Hope you and your family are well.
