Winter

Well, I’m not off to an amazing start on blogging this year, I’ll be honest, but I’m hoping to make up for my CRAZY January by blogging extra in February. You’re welcome. January marks the beginning part of winter, and I have to say, I’m already over it. I LOVE winter. Winter is my jam! Technically fall is my favorite …

Farm Fresh

So much to report down on the farm these days. I swear, things are always changing here, and it’s not even something that we can foresee or plan most of the time. We have become experts are rolling with what’s thrown at us. For example, it’s freezing here. By that I quite literally mean the HIGH has only just today …

Life and death

Don’t panic, this blog isn’t as serious as the title makes it sound. At least not for me. To one of the hogs, however… So yea, we killed a pig. And yes, that was the plan all along. Yes, it was sad- a bit sadder than I thought it would be, but for a shorter period of time than I …

Fall on the Farm

Man oh man has it been a while since my last update on the farm! And no, it’s not because there isn’t anything going on. As a matter of fact, things haven’t even slowed down a little since we arrived. The ‘honey do’ list is ever expanding, and as much as we seem to do, the list never seems to …

Sneak peek into farm life!

Vlogging as proven to be far more of a time challenge than I first realized. WHO KNEW farming required so much effort and constant attention?? But alas, it’s important to us to tell our story and be faithful to this random journey that has been put on our hearts and in our path, and so… if you can be patient …

#downonthefarm

Our population here at Shalom Farm has SORED to outrageous heights in only about six short weeks. We’ve hit the big 5-0 if you can believe that! 5 humans 3 dogs 2 cats 16 chickens 9 turkeys 12 guinea fowl 2 hogs and 1 Turdy- although I haven’t seen him in a while… 50- animals, all! Again, at one point, …

Skunked

As I type, my husband is on the phone with a peacock guy… When do you know you have an animal hoarding problem? So we have officially added TWO mule foot hogs to the party here at Shalom farm. Wilbur and Charlotte are their names, of course. They are actually super cute and very friendly. I, for one, am slightly …

The Thunder Rolls

The last few days have been hard days. I finally cried. But just for about a minute. I hit a small breaking point, and I’m sure it won’t be the last, but it’s not a comfortable thing- to break. Sometimes, just when you least expect it, life overwhelms. It all started when I decided to unpack boxes. We’re mostly done …

The woes of moving

Most of you don’t realize this, but when Thomas left to take the uhaul across the country to our farm, he embarked on quite the adventure. He and his friend, also called Tom, ended up doing a three day trip in about 50 hours. It’s quite the story… check it out!

Shalom Awaits…

I woke up on our last day living in Nevada filled with peace. I can’t say that I haven’t been peaceful about this move, but the closer we got to it, the more anxious I was becoming. Not because I think it’s the wrong thing. There hasn’t ever, at any point, been doubt. And not because of the obnoxious process …
