Our little teeny tiny (growing) baby Indigo doesn’t live in the barn—she rules the farmhouse with her big brother Gideon. She arrived the day before my father did, and while both of those things changed everything, nothing prepared us for the news that we were losing our lease on this farm.

In the middle of all that upheaval, Indigo has been a reminder that beginnings still find us. And today, I need to shine that same kind of light on Ty. Tyrone. Captain Jack Sparrow, if you read his papers. He’s a bay ranch-bred Quarter Horse/Paint with one blue eye and one brown, a horse who’s roped and cut cows, been a favorite draw in IEA hunters, and now has found his place in our herd.

Ty is wise, quirky, and full of quiet magic—the kind of horse who tugs hats off your head, unlocks doors if you don’t latch them tight, and wins hearts without even trying. He’s still waiting for a sponsor for the move, and every horse deserves to step onto Lavender Hill with their journey secured.

If you’ve been thinking of stepping in, maybe Ty is the one.

At Bramblewood, moving has become more than packing boxes — it’s about carrying stories, animals, and an entire way of life into a new chapter at Lavender Hill.

Kim’s latest piece, The Safe I Can’t Unlock: Anxiety, Faith, and the Move to Lavender Hill, reflects on the weight of transition — from cats curling into laundry baskets to the herd preparing for their journey, to what it means to trust that a new place will hold us.

You can read, or listen to Kim read, the full piece here:

Every share, every sponsorship, every hand that lifts with us is part of carrying Bramblewood into its forever home.

Lavender Hill is waiting — and we are almost there.

The move to Lavender Hill begins next week.
We close on Monday, and after taking a day to walk the land (and celebrate our anniversary), the work begins Tuesday. Moving, packing, hauling, and finally—on Sunday—the horses make the trip home.

We’ll need hands, trucks, trailers, and simply people willing to carry what they can. Every bit helps. DM me or comment if you’d like to be added to the spreadsheet.

And—Mocha only has $70 sponsored toward her move. Let’s rally for her. Sponsorship link is in bio.

There was this kid that was a barn rat. And when she found herself at a crossroads, she realized that the one place she had always felt safe was in a barn. So then she made one.

As I read everyone’s thoughts about the barn that shaped them, this barn, other barns, I have never been so reminded of my own stories of how this barn, other barns, have shaped me.

We’re on the countdown to moving next week. And I’m not through asking for your help.

• Mocha still needs a sponsor! And now that the Benefit and Auction have ended I’ll be back each day with stories from the herd and asking you to help us get them settled. If you’d like to donate to Mocha’s care (any amount large or small) click the GoFMe link in my bio.

• I’m going to be posting a link to a spreadsheet that has all the ways you can help us pack up and move.

Things are getting real now — and it takes a village to pluck up an entire farm and drop it in another place.

I love you all, so very much.

Today has been a strange, quiet day, like the eye of a storm. The horses were neither resistant nor forward. The barn was held in a hush.

Everything feels like it’s waiting for tomorrow when we greet our friends near and far for our Benefit party.

It’s both a goodbye and a welcome home.

Our Rooted in Community Auction is keeping our story straight for us when we forget where we all, with all its goods and services from the community that we love so much. The auction is live online and already full of life—photography sessions, embroidered saddle pads, reiki sessions, PEMF, gift baskets, art, and experiences — all offered in love.

Every bid is part of the bridge that’s carrying Bramblewood to Lavender Hill.

Tomorrow we’ll open the farm for one last community event to share food, stories, and the herd.

Tonight I just want you to know—whether you’re close enough to stand in this arena or far away but still with us—you’re part of the reason this farm is moving into new and better life at Lavender Hill.

We are just getting started.

Here’s the link to the auction:

And you can find it and our GoFundMe in my bio.

Hope doesn’t drift down like light. It is built, plank by plank—the way barns are raised, fences mended, and herds cared for day after day.

We see it in the horses settling into new pastures, in the land that answers back with green shoots and running water, in the work that hums beneath exhaustion and proves again that what is asked of us is possible.

Hope lives in community. Herd, land, and labor held by many. Strangers becoming kin. Small gifts gathering into something strong enough to carry this farm into its next chapter.
