Happy Summer Solstice! Was lucky enough to have two riding lessons this week. Today felt like Ryder and I were on the same page and it was nice to share that with him. We celebrated the first day of summer with a hose down, and he delighted me by being cute with the hose! #freedomfarmsvista #horsebackriding #horse #summer #summersolstice
Our ducks enjoying the little stream that was running through the garden during yesterday’s storm 🥰
Freedom Farms is doing their best to embrace Hurricane Hilary by sipping makeshift hurricane cocktails. I wasn’t about to go to the store for actual hurricane ingredients, so I used what we had on hand to make a tropical twist! Praying that we all weather the storm! #freedomfarmsvista #hurricanehilary #hurricanecocktail #tropicaltwist #farmsweetfarm #makethemostofit #makelemonade #prayers #stormwatch
Happy Farm Girl Friday! I’m switching it up this weekend! I will NOT be at the Vista Market tomorrow (Saturday, August 19th) and will instead be at Correcaminos Vineyard, at 1941 Lilac Road, Ramona, CA 92065 for a sip and shop event from 1pm-5pm. Hope you have a lovely weekend, and please be safe if you are looking at Hurricane Hillary like we are! 😅 #farmgirlfriday #freedomfarmsvista #sipandshop #sipandshophandmade #goatmilksoap #naturalbodycare #farmfreshingredients #upcycledcrafts #art
And our mini-horse chapter comes to a close. We had the opportunity to love on and care for Cooper for the last two months. He quickly became such a fun member of the farm. We will miss him, but happy he lives not too far away so we can visit. (Who am I kidding, I’m crying like crazy, I miss him terribly already) #freedomfarmsvista #minihorse #farmlife #minihorsesitting
Happy Farm Girl Friday! This. This video right here is why I homestead, it’s why I farm, and it’s why I work as hard as I do! It’s so my kids can grow up outside, using their imagination and sticks for toys. It’s for the experience, the animals, and the homegrown food. No, my eggs, milk, honey, and produce are not cheaper because I grew it or raised the animals that made it myself. But I know the love, and effort that went into everything. I know that the animals were treated with kindness and respect and as much enrichment as I can manage! I know that my fruits and veggies are grown free of pesticides and given nutrients from my compost and or animal waste. It’s to live a fuller life, a richer life, and a healthier life for my kids. It’s certainly not easier, I always feel like I’m behind, dropping the ball somewhere, or even completely failing at something, but I’m trying my best, and I hope someday my kids will see that too. In the meantime, I try to soak in moments like this one that remind me why I’m hustling. And when I slow down enough to appreciate it, what sweet sweet moments they are! Tomorrow, Saturday May 27th I’ll be back at the Vista Farmers Market from 8am-12 noon. I’ve got some fresh batches of goat milk soaps and some other fun stuff! Or just swing by to say hello! It’s a fun start to the weekend! 🇺🇸 #freedomfarmsvista #farmgirlfriday #homestead #homesteadlife #farmlife #farmsweetfarm #homesteadhustle #farmkids #buildagoodlife #thegoodlife #sweetmoments

Happy 2nd Birthday to Zephyr and his litter mates! Apparently I’m just making him nervous today, first was a trip to the pet store to pick out toys, and then this. I promise I’m trying to make his day special! 🥳 So grateful for this dog!
