I have HOSTAS! If you are willing to dig come help me thin them out a little. Shafe loving, hummingbirds love the lavender and white blooms.

Super interesting to watch the sun partially covered and note the change in temp.

The debate on cows is interesting. A cow does produce 3.3 metric tons of footprint a year. A car is 4.6. But each cow grazes, manures and helps regenerate a min of 5 acres (and more in some parts of the country) and each acre sequesters between a third a ton and a half a ton of Co2 annually. There are 29 million cows and 290 million cars. Our view? Support local producers at your farmers markets. Those cows are eating the grass in your area that might burn...❤

Beef prices at the sale barn have jumped! What does that mean? Higher prices on beef at the grocery store! We have an open half beef going to the butcher next Monday. We also have a quarter in the freezer available as well as ground beef and steak butcher bags. Still offering at 2 dollars a pound on the hoof while sale barn prices are well above that. PM if you are interested. Prices may have to increase after Dec. 1 due to hay costs.

I know where you can get some of that delish healthy beef on the right, also lamb!

Know what you’re buying. This picture has store beef(left), and farm beef(right). There is an obvious visible difference between the two! But the differences don’t stop there!

1. You may notice in the picture the color difference. The store bought is pumped full of additives and water. There isn’t a guarantee of where that beef came from either. Yes, it may have USDA label on it but as long as that animal was packaged in the US, it can be called a Product of the USA. The meat in the package is not from one single cow, rather scraps from multiple cows. It could have came from Argentina, Canada, or Brazil.

2. The beef on the right is darker and is farm raised beef. It is filled with more nutrients & flavor. The ground is also from one cow and not just scraps from multiple cows.

3. Buying your beef from a local Farmer/Rancher you are helping to buy a little girl dance shoes or a little boy baseball gear. Buying from the store just lines the pockets of the already wealthy meat packers. Let’s help each other. We help you eat healthy, you help us provide for our families.

Buy from a local ranch/farm!

Borrowed from another farm.

This is why we buy local beef!
