Coming together with our farm community...

When we are asked how we got to this point in our farming, it's not a simple answer.  We have been blessed to have several farming friends mentor us along our way.  Cyndi Ball taught Vasek beekeeping.  Crystal Beacham has taught me animal husbandry and walked us through some of the most difficult experiences as a farmer.  Sonrise Farm has stood beside us, sometimes on ladders, as we built our hoophouse last fall.  And Jenny Buley has spoken words of encouragement and shared knowledge of seed starting for years.  This homestead community has shaped who we have become and we would not be this far along without their love and support.
​

This is why we have decided the spring to participate once again in the Sheep to Shawl festival in Statham on April 7th.  This event was one of the first things we did to explore homesteading as a family.  Little did we know that we would one day have booth selling our goods from our own farm.  Come by to see the demonstrations of sheep shearing, square dancing, and soap making.  It is fun for all ages and wonderful artisans selling crafts.

We are also so excited to share a brand new event with your.  The Statham Homestead Trail is happening April 21-22 from 8-4 p.m. Six farms will open their gates to the public to share their love of sustainability and homesteading.  If you hurry, you can still get a ticket to the farm to table dinner on Saturday night.  We hope that in some small way, we can give back to the community that has helped us get this far.  And you will get to see the farms that helped shape our farm and future.
