🐣 New baby chicks at our farm! 🐣
We’ve added some new feathered friends to the farm, and they’ve already picked their favorite human—Farmer Jon! These little fluffballs follow him around like a pack of puppies, peeping and waddling after him wherever he goes. 🐔💛
Young chickens, especially when raised by hand, see their caretakers as their “mother hen.” In the wild, chicks imprint on the first moving thing they see after hatching—usually their mother. Since we’re the ones feeding, caring for, and talking to them, they bond with us just like they would with a mother hen. It’s a mix of instinct, trust, and pure farmyard love!
Stay tuned for more chick updates, and maybe a few adorable videos of Jon trying to walk without a chicken parade behind him. 😆

🌿 A Special Farm Visit for Our Homeschool Friends! 🌿
We had the joy of welcoming a wonderful group of homeschooling families for a special farm tour! This visit was extra meaningful because one of the families has dedicated many volunteer hours to helping out here at our farm—we were thrilled to share the farm with them as a small way to say thank you for their hard work and support!
We believe in the power of local farms and fresh food to nourish not just our bodies, but our communities. Through this tour, we wanted to show these families where food comes from, how it’s grown, and why supporting local agriculture is so important. From the vibrant fields to the bustling chicken coop (🐓—you know Farmer Jon loves his chickens!), we explored the daily rhythms of farm life and the care that goes into producing high-quality, fresh food.
At our farm, our commitment is simple: to provide the freshest, healthiest food possible so our community can thrive. Seeing young minds light up with curiosity and appreciation for real food reminds us why we do what we do.
Thank you to all the families who joined us—we loved sharing this experience with you! 💚

Are Chickens Social? Well… Some of Them! 🐔👀
If you’ve been around chickens, you know they have big personalities—but not all of them are social butterflies! Here at our farm, about 90% of our flock prefers to do their own thing, while the other 10% are our farm’s “supervisors”—always following us around, checking out what we’re doing, and making sure we’re getting the job done right!
Why Are Some Chickens So Social?
🐥 Flock Mentality – Chickens are naturally social animals because, in the wild, their survival depends on sticking together. Some take this more seriously than others!
🐥 Curiosity & Intelligence – Chickens are surprisingly smart! Some just love to investigate what’s happening around the farm.
🐥 Pecking Order – Every flock has a social structure. The boldest birds often follow humans because they see us as part of their group.
🐥 Food Motivation – Let’s be honest… some just want snacks! If they’ve learned that humans = treats, they’ll always stick around.
Even though most of our birds prefer to keep their distance, we love the nosy few who follow us around like little feathered farmhands. Do you have chickens that love to “help” with chores? Tell us about your flock in the comments! 🐔⬇️

From Seed to Harvest at the Farm! 🌱🍅🌿
Our tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers are just getting started! We begin by germinating seeds in a warm, controlled chamber, giving them the perfect environment to sprout. Once they’re strong enough, we move them to our carefully monitored grow tent inside one of our tunnels, where they continue to develop into healthy plants.
Before long, these starts will be planted in our fields, growing into the delicious, farm-fresh veggies we love sharing with our community. Every great harvest starts with a tiny seed, and we can’t wait to see these plants thrive! Stay tuned for updates as they grow. 🌿🍽️
What’s your favorite farm-fresh veggie? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

🐔 New Chickens Have Arrived at our! 🐔
Exciting news—we’ve welcomed a new batch of Red Ranger chickens to the farm! These little ones are settling into their cozy new home in our second tunnel, where they’ll stay warm and protected as they grow. With some chilly days still ahead, they’re not quite ready to join our older flock, but they’ll be thriving in no time!
So, why did we choose Red Rangers for our farm? These birds are an excellent choice for free range-raised meat birds because:
✅ They grow at a natural, steady pace, leading to healthier, stronger birds.
✅ Their active foraging means they enjoy scratching, pecking, and finding food, which improves both their health and the quality of their meat.
✅ They develop firm, flavorful meat with great texture—perfect for anyone looking for high-quality, ethically raised poultry.
We’re excited to watch these little ones grow! Stay tuned for updates as they get bigger and eventually move out to free ranging.

🌟 Meet the Radish That Refuses to Quit! 🌟
Earlier this year, this massive radish started growing and now this beauty has stayed strong, solid, and just keeps getting bigger. Could it be aiming for greatness? Maybe even a world record?
The current record-holder for the largest radish weighed a whopping 68 pounds and 9 ounces, grown by Manabu Oono in Japan in 2003. Our radish isn’t quite there yet, but who knows? With enough love, sunshine, and a little bit of luck, we might just have a contender!
We’ll keep you updated on its progress. In the meantime, what’s your guess for its current weight? Or better yet—how big do you think it’ll get?
Stay tuned as we cheer on our lonely giant radish in its quest for glory! 🥇 #RadishGoals #WorldRecordAttempt #FarmLife #radish #radishes #horseradish #radishcake #radishmonster #southernutah #hurricaneutah #stgeorgeutah #localfood #freshfood #freshfood #organic #organicfood
Where in the Heck Are the Chicken Eggs? 🐓🥚
It’s time for another round of Where in the Heck is the Chicken Eggs? Farmer Jon’s favorite farm mystery continues as our adventurous hens keep us guessing with their “creative” egg-laying spots.
From flower pots to feed buckets, hay bales to hidden corners of the barn, these sneaky ladies seem to enjoy keeping us on our toes. Why do they do it? We wish we knew! Maybe they’re pranksters at heart, or maybe they’re just taking “free range” to the next level.
Farmer Jon finds this little egg hunt endlessly amusing, and we hope it gives you a chuckle too! Who knows where we’ll find them next—any guesses?
Stay tuned for more egg-cellent discoveries from the farm!

“Why is Hurricane called Hurricane?”
The past few days have reminded us why our town earned its name! With winds blowing steadily at 25-35 mph, it feels like Mother Nature wants to keep us on our toes (or chasing our hats).
Fun fact: Hurricane got its name back in the 1860s when a gust of wind tore through, snapping the top off a cottonwood tree. The settlers exclaimed, “That was a hurricane!” and the name stuck, even though true hurricanes don’t reach this far inland.
The wind is part of what makes living here unique—and it’s certainly giving our farm’s windbreak trees a workout! How’s everyone else holding up out there?
Stay grounded,
• Farmer Jon
