🌾🔥 Truth, Growth & Boundaries on the Farm 🔥🌾
This year, our family farm has grown in ways I never dreamed possible. 🐣 What started as a small dream has become something amazing — and we are so incredibly thankful for the people who’ve cheered us on, shared our posts, and supported us every step of the way. 🙏💛
💬 “Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don’t belong.”
But here’s the truth… with growth comes challenges — and not all of them are pretty. While 98% of the people we’ve met have been absolutely wonderful, a small few have made me question what “open to the public” truly means.
We are a family-owned farm, not a corporation. Everything here — every coop, chick, and egg — comes from our hands, our hearts, and our home. 🏡❤️
So let me be clear:
🚫 We will not tolerate negativity.
🚫 We will not tolerate disrespect.
🚫 We will not tolerate dishonesty or drama.
💬 “Don’t let anyone’s bitterness steal your sweetness.” 🍯
Our farm is built on faith, family, and integrity — and we’ll protect that with everything we have. We believe in treating people right and raising our animals with love.
🐔 If you’re looking for “SOP perfection,” we are not your farm. We breed quality birds — but we will never cull a healthy bird over a small flaw. Every bird here has value to me. 🌿
🪶 We’re always learning something new about our chickens and turkeys — new behaviors, genetics, and ways to improve their care. This year especially has been full of lessons that humbled and educated us.
🐛 We regularly check our birds for mites and bugs — and have never found an issue. We still spray their pens, nesting boxes, and roosting bars occasionally as a preventative. But let’s be real: they are animals. Just like a dog might get a flea, a chicken might pick up a stray bug. It’s nature!
🚫 We no longer bring in new birds this year. We’ve learned that quarantining is absolutely essential. From now on, we’ll only add new birds under strict isolation — and we’re planning a new, dedicated quarantine pen for spring.
🐥 All chicks and juveniles are sold straight run — I don’t assume or even try to make guesses.
💫 Let’s talk about frizzles:
Frizzled feathers are adorable — but responsible breeding matters. Two frizzled parents should never be bred together, as that can produce frazzles (birds with brittle, curly feathers and serious health issues). ❌
I will never risk that. For that reason, I’ll never guarantee a chick or hatching egg will be frizzled — because the only way to keep them healthy is to pair one frizzled bird with one smooth-feathered bird. 🐓❤️
💬 “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.”
This farm will always stand for kindness, honesty, and learning — not gossip, greed, or perfection. We’ll keep growing, but we’ll grow with grace and guard our peace. 🌻

💬 “Some gifts wrap more than your shoulders — they wrap your soul.” 🩵
Here’s to growth that isn’t always easy, lessons that aren’t always pretty, and blessings that are always worth it. 🌱✨
