Beginning tomorrow July 2, The Farm Stand will be temporarily closed for a spell.

I’ll be having surgery this week on a cancerous lump in my neck. Followed by some chemo.

Our fresh eggs will be available at Corner Market & Nursery in downtown Oak Grove.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers- relief from this issue has been a long time coming.

See you on the other side 💕🙏🏻

Yes.

Our fresh local produce prices are insanely low. Yes. We often offer it at lower prices than we acquired it from other local farmers. Yes. We also don’t make much on the toils and labors of our own harvest.

No.

We are not trying to undercut anyone.

Here’s the thing.

Our farm stand is located in one of the lowest income highest food need parts of the country.-

Our mission- is to provide families with affordable healthy food options.

It’s been the mission since its inception.

Families who wouldn’t necessarily visit the produce section of their local grocery store because it’s too expensive to maintain on their table.

Many years ago- Jesus put it on my heart that my calling in this life- was to help others.

I started an outreach in Manchester NH called Feeding the Thousands.

We packed hundreds of fresh healthy meals every day- no matter the temperature or weather- and made our way thru the homeless community offering nourishment- encouragement- and hope.

That outreach faced all kinds of setbacks from the City. Citations. Constant harassment.

But we persevered and opened a diner called The Fork n Spoon.

We were able to sponsor folks thru rehabs- offer employment- and train folks on important life skills so they could become and remain gainfully employed in the restaurant industry.

The Farm Stand- is a result of the same calling. Feed the Thousands.

My husband and I are fortunate enough to be able to live a comfortable lifestyle as retired military.

One that we were blessed with- so that we may bless others.

Our farm stand is that blessing. Not only for us to work the earth and grow.

But for those in our community who can share and take part in something supernatural. The Hand of God.

Being able to offer fresh low cost local produce to a family of 6 who would otherwise never think about it- is the blessing.

It’s also the calling. Feed. The. Thousands.

So we will keep our prices low. We will keep helping our community realize the gift of charity. We will keep moving the way in which God has called us to move.

We will go where He leads us. Plain & Simple. And we believe He led us to Oak Grove LA. From the moment we step foot on our soil- and saw the homestead we bought sight unseen- we knew it was Divine Intervention that brought us here.

We hope you’ll continue to support our mission. And we are grateful for every blessing bestowed.

It’s been a labor of love….making my Dad’s family sauerkraut recipe.

It began nearly 9weeks since when I was donated 24 total heads of cabbage by my friend Shirley Howell who with her husband Carl- own and operate Howell Family Farms here in West Carroll Parish.

I spent two days chopping cabbage- made one hell of a mess in my kitchen- ate a lot of it sprinkled with salt- and packed it into a food safe bucket layered in kosher salt.

Every three days- I’d turn it- wring it and repack it. For 9 weeks…..

Today- it’s ready. And for my first go at ole fashioned kraut- I gotta say- it tastes just like my Dads did.

This homemade local cabbage kraut will be available at the Stand starting tomorrow.
6$ per jar.

Shout out to Norris Horsemanship and Dustin Norris who always does an amazing job with my dragons.

Worked for hours in this Louisiana heat with Ahyoka. He’s patient and thorough with her- kind yet firm.

Hero loves a mani pedi and lifts the next hoof as soon as one is done.

Always grateful for his work and love for what he does.

Anyone in West Carroll looking for an A+++ trainer and farrier- he’s your guy….every time.

This Friday I have a Pre-Op appt to have an encapsulated cyst and cancerous nodule removed from my neck.
I have been diagnosed with Graves’ disease and will also be having a complete thyroidectomy sometime in the next two weeks.

The farm stand will be open but it would be great if folks could call us or text when planning to stop by.

My husband and MIL who recently moved in with us will be able to assist with any purchases- but post-op I will be down for the count for some time as I navigate chemo and after treatment.

The Stand number is 318-501-4711. Feel free to text as well.

We will still have all our offerings and the website is still available for nationwide shipping.

The website will also accept local orders free of charge. Your order will be received at the Stand and fulfilled. You can pay on line tax free and pop in to pick up your goodies.

Thank you to our amazing community who has assisted with my MIL transition to our farm- and lent a helping hand when needed. We couldn’t do it all without you.

I do have 2 Fathers Day Gift Baskets remaining chock full of BBQ goodies for Pops. $50 each.

Summer Squash- Zucchini and some Tabasco Peppers are ready. I’ll have Green Plumbs out tomorrow as well.

Y’all…..

We bought our house here two years ago.

We’ve had a fruit tree in the back yard that never flowered or had fruit.

Our goats demolished the bottom of it-

We had been told a million things about what kind of fruit tree it is…..

And now- it has fruit. And guess what…

IT’S A GREEN PLUMB TREE Y’ALL!!!!!!

How freaking excited am I?????

I just bought and ate two flats of green plumbs because they’re soooooo good.

I’m so thrilled about this.

And- there’s so many plumbs- we have more than enough to offer on the farm stand when ripe…

Woooohooooo!

Hei Hei is still kicking and has been in the bird room. He has a neurological disease and has lost his balance- but because he’s still very alert and lovable- I haven’t had the heart to cull him.

He gets around ok still. Just have to keep an eye on him to ensure he doesn’t get upside down.

He’s a good Netflix and chill buddy.

I moved Sh*tbrick into the house last night to protect her and the baby.

The hatch is Hades last contribution. He’s always been an amazing rooster and taken excellent care of his young.

Here he’s just sitting with them. Cooing softly and keeping them company. Once Halo is a few days old I’ll let them out.

Also opened the door on the big brooder outside. Annie and her babe are being left alone and are enjoying a dust bath.

The four we acquired from my neighbors grandson are enjoying being able to explore. For the most part being left alone as well.

Delilah and Ginger were the babes and are asserting their new place in the order upon the newbies but aren’t being viscious- just being normal hens about it.

So far so good. I’m hoping Lilith and her new babe do fine. They usually do. No one messes with Lilith. She’s the boss.

Just another day at the Roo.

When Mom arrives her African Grey named Ozzie will also reside in the bird room. She talks non stop. I hope Hei Hei enjoys her constant chatter.

Tell it’s Monday- without telling me…it’s Monday…..

So I scrubbed the horse trough last night.

Turned the hose on to let it fill while I finished all the other farm chores.

Went to the neighbors. Visited for a few hours. Had a Dr.Pepper. (That’s a big deal cuz I don’t drink soda and haven’t had one in about a decade)

Came home. Sh*tbrick had her baby so was consumed with making sure she was safe in the flock.

Normally- we don’t have any issues hatching organically within the flock- but Ersa- another hen- decided to be a jerk.

So I had to pop up a brooder right quick and move Sh*tbrick and Halo (new baby albino chicks name) into the house.

Got all done about 8pm. Started at 4pm

Forgot. The. Hose……

Until this morning.

Yup. Successfully flooded my horse barn and paddock. Ahyoka and Hero are pi**ed. Refused to come in for breakfast I had to walk their buckets out.

Don’t blame them. Wasn’t mad. Respect their voices.

But yeah.

Happy freakin Monday y’all.

But oh- Lilith and Ruthie were still brooding…apparently they switched clutches over night.
Came out this morning to Lilith having hatched Ruthie’s egg. And Ruthie is sitting on Lilith’s. It’s pipping.

So a second new soul joins our flock this morning.
Congrats to Lilith. She’s a seasoned Mamma and this is her 18th hatch.

Taking name ideas. She’s a buff mix.
