Life has been way too short + sweet lately to be spending much of it on social media. Buuuut...... here's a little bit of July!
Bon fires. Northwoods WI. Fair. Tallow. Hauling bales. More hauling bales. Wedding anniversary + a birthday. And ended our month with a little R+R down south on the lake.
Now slow down August!!

May was here in a flash and gone!!
Planting. Farmer's markets. Thunderstorms. Bottle feeding calves. Tallow. Turning pairs out to summer pasture.
Perfect way to welcome in Summer.
☀️
Let me tell ya, driving to the home farm to bottle feed calves every day since February has gotten well... old.
However... the view isn't too shabby once I get there.
Rawr. 😍

So I tried something new...
A couple of months ago I decided to try my hand at making my own Whipped Tallow Balm. And I LOVE it!
I am always looking for clean products to use on my body and it doesn't get cleaner than this.
I made enough that I was able to give some out to friends and their response? They all loved it too!
Which meeeeaaans that I am so excited to share that I will soon have The Farmer’s Wife Whipped Tallow Balm available on our website and at our farmer's market stops.
Questions?? Interested for more info?? Comment TALLOW below. 👇

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!! 🎉🎈🍻
He may not be on social media but I still have to give a birthday shout out to the best friend, husband, father, farmer, son, brother.... the list goes on.
We love you more than we could ever say on social media. 😁

Sometimes mama just needs a little help.
And no, I'm not talking about me. 😉
As a first time mother, it's not uncommon for a heifer to possibly need help getting her calf delivered. This heifer (lovingly named Boomerang by our son) was birthing on her own for quite some time when Andy made the call to intervene and help pull her calf.
Unfortunately this is not my best film work. 😆 The adrenaline rush was real and eventually I was told to put down the phone and get in there and help pull.
The calf came out and after Andy stimulated it and got its nose airway cleaned out, we got baby reunited with mom as quick as we could. And all ended well.
It was amazing.
The gift of life on the farm always is. 🤍

Whoa. 🚨
I jumped on ol' IG today to LOTS of posts discussing purchasing beef from the store vs. directly from a farmer/rancher.
Now while there are so. many. things. that go into this discussion, the biggest thing being discussed is...
Labeling. Did you know... 🤔 cattle that is imported into the US and then processed can be labeled as US Beef? Not to discredit how other countries raise their animals, but consumers should have the right to know not only where it was processed, but where it was raised, how it was raised, and who raised it.
We never want to instill fear in consumers because at the end of the day, no matter where you get your beef, it's safe. It's nutritious. And a great staple to any diet. We just believe consumers should be educated on where their food comes from.
Moral of my rant? It's a complicated subject. But if you're concerned about the origin of your beef, find a local farmer/rancher who can provide beef directly from their farm to your table.... a-hem. We do that. 😉

Come deliver beef with me!! 👇
This past week I had a full morning of delivering to all of the restaurants that we are absolutely honored to work with. What does that involve?
First stop was to Baumgartners Tavern + Cheese Store located in our hometown of Monroe. Next I headed to Darlington to pick up our order of fresh meat from Avon Locker. After that I travel to downtown Madison to deliver for Graze and L'Etoile. Then a delivery of ground beef for Settle Down Tavern. Two customer deliveries. Then back south to Monroe to finish up at Panchos and Lefty's Outlaw Grill.
Whew!!
So grateful for a busy morning. A year ago we were talking about the goal of possibly working with a restaurant. So many doors opened for our direct selling last year! We still have to pinch ourselves that we are able to work with these wonderful restaurants and their owners!!
