• The first thing I would do when I moved to a new place (which happened a lot over the last 8 years) would be to look for farm fresh eggs. 🍳 . I was at the point in my holistic living journey where I had started eating animal products again. I only sought local and organic knowing how much better it was for my body and the planet. 🌎 . Scouring Craigslist, Facebook, the local newspaper, pulling off the road suddenly if I spotted a sign - I had to get my hands on local pastured eggs.🐓 . My favorite spots were the ones where you could see the chickens when you pulled in. I also loved the ones where the chicken tender would actually come say hello. 👋🏼 . I knew after three moves (Chicago⏩Twin Cities⏩Up north) that I wanted to shift from consumer to producer. When I love something beyond rational explanation I start to get insatiably curious. 🔎 . The more I read about why pastured eggs were healthier for us and better for the hen, the more I wanted to be a crazy chicken lady. 👩🏻‍🌾 . Then in 2015 I finally had my opportunity. This egg ☝🏼 is the first ever egg laid on our farm. The rest is history. ❤️ . . . #pasturedpoultry #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #pasturedeggs #chickenlady #crazychickenlady #backyardchickens #iamamodernfarmer #farmher #womeninag #womeninagriculture #firstgenerationfarmers #femalefarmer #prettyeggs #buttnuggets #iamcountryside

  • Usually, this is syrup season (this pic is from last year), but the massive swings in the weather have us concerned. 🍁 . You need temps below freezing at night and then above freezing during the day to get sap to flow. The pressure change due to temperature shift is what makes that infamous drip drip drip in the sap bucket. 💧 . We went from the polar vortex, to freezing rain, to solid 40 degree days. Looking ahead at the forecast I see no chance to tap for sap in the next 10 days. 😭 . Maple syrup is a major product for our customers. Not being able to make and sell it this year brings us pause. Climate change is fundamentally changing the seasonality of things right before our eyes. 😭 . I’m still holding out hope. All my gear is prepped just in case. Anyone else experiencing this weird sap season? 🥞 . . . #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #maplesyrup #syrupseason #sugarbush #foodforest #oaksavanna #permaculture #wisconsinfarm #stopclimatechange #homesteading #homesteadinglife #farmher #womeninag #iamamodernfarmer
