That hint of Fall is just stunning 🍁

We used to tell Muffin when she was pregnant that we were special ordering her carbon copy… we think she delivered just beautifully! Little Magnolia looks more like Muffin with every day that passes 🥰

04/24/2024

We have been anticipating this arrival all year… meet Muffin’s calf, “Magnolia”. She is absolutely precious… bold, curious and the perfect addition to our herd 💐💜

Little Daffodil is growing so quickly! We have had 100% heifer calves so far this year 🙌🏼 So much to be thankful for with happy, healthy calves and mamas 🩵🌼

We had an extra helper for chores today 🐴🙌🏼

02/01/2024

There are a few extra faces around the farm today… we are so tickled to be fostering some littles from Liberty Meadows Farm Sanctuary for a while. I mean… come on… look at these faces 🥰

The goats and piggies are just delightful, and they are tickled to have some fresh grass to graze on.

We are so thankful for this opportunity 🙌🏼

Piggies names are Pumpkin (top) and Turnip (bottom) 🐽🐽

Goats are Scotch, Peep, and the other two boys are in need of names still - any ideas?

We have the three muskateers eating together from meal delivery this morning ♥️

Petunia, Lil Lou and Teddy are all Clifford’s offspring. He stamped them well 🌟

We look forward to the little ones due in the coming days!!!

As we pick ourselves up on this Monday morning, leaving space for sadness and reaching for all that is to come… we thought a little update would be fun ☺️

These working pens have sat for many years unused - for various reasons - but they have been a priority project for us over the last couple months and we are so tickled to have them up and running.

In the first few pictures you can see the overgrown areas (which were even after phase one of clearing) and some of the progression to getting them cleared, repaired and in working condition.

We have memories from about 20 years ago working on these pens and helping to put them up in frigid temperatures with biting wind - so it has been fitting that most of our remodel has taken place in similar temps, haha! 🥶

We are so grateful to those who have helped us out here in the last few weeks… our whole family has pitched in, plus our extended family- Priscilla, Leonard, Tim, Julia, Braxton, Anna, Joan, and Tatiana 🥰

Cows have been a part of this farm from the beginning, when our family purchased it in 1999. We had a break in those years somewhere, but we are so pleased to have a good minded little herd that is consistently producing top grade calves.

As we slowly build on our dreams for the future, we are making a genuine effort to not lose sight of the journey and how we are getting shaped in the process of it all. God is so faithful, so patient, and so merciful and gracious to His kids, and we are grateful to draw on that well daily here at CMF 💚

Clifford Clarence Rader…

The specials ones get middle names.

This one was one in a million 💙

Hopefully there is a special little bull calf cooking in one of the mama cows that can fill his shoes and carry on his legacy.

We will miss you Cliff…

we loved you so much Kiffie 💔

01/13/2024

Great day sorting cows and getting some moved! Of course Punchy had to help too 🐶

Don’t underestimate the ladies… the all girls team got it done today with the cattle at 🙌🏼

01/08/2024

Hard day to be a farmer… losing an animal is never easy. Thank you Louise for your extraordinary contributions to our family and to agriculture. You were such a sweet girl, and you left us an amazing calf to carry on your legacy ♥️

Making the decisions, doing the right thing, and keeping your heart soft through it all - it’s tough. We have poured so much into our herd, especially recently. This one hurts. But you turn on the headlights, bury what is now passed, and you keep trying hard to be the best steward of what you are given. But one thing remains - God is still good, all the time.

Just an update on Muffin… she is still perfect… the end 🥰

Man we sure do love this group of good minded moos… what a joy to steward 🫶🏼

Days like these… this is living 🙌🏼

Nap time for Pumpkin 🎃

These little hooligans snuck a snack from the food delivery truck 😅

We can always count on Miss Muffin - she saved the day and helped us get some cows back in that had gone over the fence where a tree fell. She is the best!
