We have about 7 sourdough breads left and one cookie box left made fresh today if you want to swing by and grab some for dinner!

Give the gift of sourdough or fresh baked goods this Christmas season. There’s nothing quite like homemade bread and treats to make the holidays feel special.

Holiday pick-up dates are December 20, 21, and 24.
All other days will be open for shed shopping as available.

Support local and grab something warm, fresh, and made with care. Your purchases directly support our family and the work we do here on the farm.

Thank you for choosing to shop small this Christmas.

Here is even more on the truth of Kill Pen schemes.

12/06/2025

Please please do your research!!

Equine “kill pen bail-outs” are deceitful operations that buy and sell horses, placing profit over the horses’ well-being. Purchasing horses from equine kill pens through bail-out schemes is not an effective way to help horses, and actually makes genuine humane interventions more difficult.

Oof… all while we’re just trying to make it year to year, having to say no when our hearts want to say yes.

We don’t believe in the kill-pen schemes, and every single day there are horses who truly need rescued. But without donations and community support, we simply can’t take on what we wish we could.

I bake, I make soaps, and I hustle every day just to cover our expenses and keep our doors open.

Something has to give. The rescues who are out here doing the real work, the right way, need support now more than ever.

This just makes me livid and why I stepped back a lot.

In this world, I’ve lived long enough—as a nonprofit rescue owner, as a foster parent, as someone trying to do the right thing—to know that criticism comes far more quickly than grace. People are quick to judge. Quick to assume. Quick to offer opinions instead of understanding. And I’ll be honest: I’ve given judgment myself at times too. Grace was not always offered from me, just as it wasn’t often offered to me.

But grace is a lesson. One I’m still learning. One God continues to remind me of.

Because at the end of the day, we are all imperfect. Every single one of us. We make mistakes. We fall short. We say or do things we wish we could take back. And when we speak out of frustration or negativity, those words don’t just stop where they land. They ripple. They move from one person to the next, creating more hurt, more misunderstanding, more weight that someone else has to carry.

But grace stops the ripple.

Grace lifts instead of breaks. Grace says, “I see you’re trying.” Grace gives room for humanity rather than demanding perfection. And sometimes the hardest place to give grace is to ourselves.

So let this be a reminder—to all of us, but especially to me. When the urge to judge rises, pause. When frustration builds, breathe. When the world feels heavy with criticism, choose something different.

Choose grace. Choose to lift up. Choose to be the one who softens the world instead of hardens it.

Grace but God. Always.

All bread in the shed is 50% off today and tomorrow. Use it right away or pop it in the freezer since we don’t use preservatives or any of that nonsense.

We’ll also have fresh cookies and breads in the morning.

Take advantage of some warm, fresh sourdough with a hot bowl of soup, or make it into the perfect grilled cheese on this chilly, gloomy weather day — all while supporting everything we do here at the farm.

This momma thanks you!

This year has stretched so many of us in ways we never expected. Families, small businesses, and local nonprofits are all doing their best to keep going, to keep serving, and to keep giving back even when times feel heavy.

Through it all, one thing hasn’t changed: the strength of our community. When we show up for one another, even in small ways, it adds up to something powerful.

As we head into the holiday season, I want to encourage everyone to think local. Support the small businesses that pour their hearts into their work. Support the nonprofits that step in when no one else can. These are the people and places that make our towns feel like home, and they need us now more than ever.

Whether it’s buying a gift from a local shop, choosing a handmade item over something mass-produced, donating to a cause close to your heart, or simply sharing someone’s work so others see it too—every bit matters.

This holiday season, let’s lift each other up. Let’s remind our community that we’re stronger together. Let’s be the reason a small business survives. Let’s be the reason a nonprofit can continue its mission. Let’s show what it looks like when people choose to care.

Together, we can make a real difference.
