Hi to all the new folks! My spouse and I, along with our children, live in rural Virginia where we raise goats, rabbits, & chickens (& sometimes hogs) as well as most of our own produce to provide our family with clean food while minimizing our impact on the earth. #SmallFarmLife

“White Christmas,” written by Irving Berlin in 1942, is a climate change song
Temperatures have warmed across the contiguous United States over the last five decades or so during the months of December through February (a rapidly warming season)...

Always a great night to stream Ian's show! I'll be enjoying the music with at least one whiskey sour.

Having your own goats is both great for and terrible for 10pm ice cream cravings 🍽️🍨 #SmallFarmLife

I let those peppers ferment with some onions, carrots, and garlic for almost a full month, strained it all then blended with some apple cider vinegar, a little bit of the fermenting brine, cumin, and coriander. I forgot I was out of bottles though so need to order some more 😅🍽️🌱🌶️🔥

Everything's going to shit, but at least we have baby goats, cats, and the unbridled happiness and curiosity of childhood to keep us going. #GoatSky #SmallFarmLife

It's finally dropping below freezing tonight, so here's the last big haul from our summer garden. The fennel and Thai basil are making the kitchen smell amazing 🌱

While I was under the minivan busting knuckles and cursing Honda, Lila was able to get a few cloves of garlic planted 🌱

Original suspension parts treated us well in the ol' Odyssey, hopefully we can go another 150k miles before I have to do this again 😅

Holy shit I just saw the biggest meteor in my life and then Bichette hit that bomb. Even space wants the Jays to win!
Thank goodness for cell signal, we're camping in the wilderness in the foothills of the Blue Ridge but wouldn't miss Game 7.

8yo got a packet of sunflower seeds in her trick or treat bag, probably the best treat anyone got! 🌱🌻

Gonna be a bit dicey tonight, so we harvested the rest of the basil and a few squashes. Squashes and chilis have tarps and blankets on them, if we can get them through the night we have at least another 2 weeks before they'll be threatened again 🌱🥶

Celebrating our 14th anniversary with kale, peppers, potatoes, and bacon from the backyard. Tuna from the store. We didn't have any almond flour so 13 yo ground almonds for the torta caprese ❤️🍽️🌱🥂

Gotta love a pepper haul in late October 🌱

Frost has threatened a couple times but we're still going strong 🌱

We got a late start getting our winter squash seeds in the ground but happy we have a long growing season. It hasn't frosted yet and likely won't for another couple of weeks, still plenty of time to get 100lbs or so of squash before then. 🌱

Baby chicks have arrived!

We like to get them in autumn so they're ready to start laying in spring, as well as us being able to sell birds that are close to or already laying when all the local feed stores are selling chicks. #SmallFarmLife
