The Farmer's Pitchfork: Normal day

Normal day

Today was a normal, busy day. On Monday we have guitar and violin lessons in Lafayette for some in our family. Between lessons we stop at Java Jo'z, my parents coffee shop, to deliver any chicken or eggs that people have ordered. It makes it nice to have a pick-up point for those in town and for us to get the product to them. Today we delivered a whole chicken for a customer. If you are a first time buyer from us, we give you a dozen eggs at no charge.

On a side note, our little 17 month old is so busy that it is taking twice the time to get this post uploaded. =) She runs from one thing to the next, her eyes always scanning what she can get into next.

Some random pics for you to enjoy.....

Well the random pics aren't happening. The blog isn't "working" correctly so I guess I'll have to add some on a different post. Plus my alignment won't move to the left. Have a blessed day!

What do we do?

Our homestead has evolved throughout the over years. Having both came from conventional farming operations we had a love for agriculture but was challenged by the many practices that we felt was breaking down the family farm and the food quality. We saw too much sickness in our family and others. I saw how much agriculture had become a monopoly and corrupt! Agri-business's & the USDA no longer really interested in the well-being of the people or the land. I guess you could say....we started to think and ask questions! It has been a process, we first started out with a goal of providing healthy, nutritious food for our own family. We were able to use the principles taught from our fathers and history along with new ideas that aligned with our personal family values for stewardship, accountability and personal responsibility. Along the way we have learnt so much, mostly by failing. But that is normally the most effective teacher! We continue to live on our Indiana homestead, utilizing the resources entrusted to us in the best way possible and adapting to the ever changing culture we find ourselves living in today. Our family spends most of the year teaching others about the lessons we have learned along the way. Join us on the journey, it is a thrilling adventure!
