Family-run homestead and farm shop raising Katadhan sheep, quail, chickens, and Kunekune & Meishan pigs. Ran by 5 kids, we sell free range chicken eggs and Baby chicks in the summer.

Y’all… it’s finally getting close. 🙌

I know I’ve been saying for a long time that meat would be coming to the farm shop, and I know it’s felt like a lot of “soon, soon, soon” — but we’re finally getting to the point where it’s ACTUALLY becoming real.
(Below is a rendering of what it should look like)

Our animals are starting to reach the age where they’ll be ready, and the freezers are being ordered so we can begin offering more of what we raise here at New Magnolia Homestead.

We plan to start with:
Quail 🐦
Pork 🐷

Then within the next 2–3 months, we’re hoping to also have:
Lamb 🐑
Meat chickens 🐓

This has been a long time in the making, and we’re so excited to finally be getting closer to offering farm-raised meat through the shop.

And as a reminder, we already keep quail eggs and chicken eggs in stock regularly. 🥚

Thank y’all for being patient with us as we continue to grow, build, and add more here at the homestead. We’re excited for what’s ahead. 🤍

Born blind.
Still chasing life anyway.

Today Smudge was running, eating, exploring the grass, and learning her world one little step at a time.

04/03/2026

Tetelestai.
“Paid in Full.”

That truth lives at the center of this homestead.

In the quiet chores.
In the hard days.
In the healing.
In the mess.
In the mercy.
In the new life we witness again and again.

At New Magnolia Homestead, we are reminded daily that God is always restoring what looks broken, tending what is fragile, and bringing beauty where there was pain.

This place is more than a farm.
It is a place of faith, family, hard work, healing, and hope.

Paid in full.
Not because we earned it.
But because of Him.

And that changes everything.

Tonight’s Smudge update

She’s still a little weak, enjoyed the suns and warmth and getting stronger!
Still a little unsure.
Still learning how to be a lamb in a world she cannot see.

But she’s doing okay tonight.

She’s resting with her “Momma Emma”❤️, being held close, and surrounded by love. And honestly, that feels like a pretty good place to start.

This little girl may have been born blind, but she was not born without purpose.

Thank you all for loving her right along with us.

04/02/2026

She was born blind.
But she was not born without purpose.

We’re nearing the end of lambing season here at New Magnolia Homestead, with just a few ewes left to lamb… and then this little girl came along.

Meet Smudge.

She’s one of our newest bottle babies, and she was born blind.

And while that may sound heartbreaking at first, we don’t believe her story starts with limitation. We believe it starts with purpose.

So many of you already know that New Magnolia Homestead is more than a farm. We are a trauma informed, restorative foster care farm, and part of the healing that happens here comes through the quiet, gentle work of livestock animal therapy.

For some children, healing doesn’t start with words.
It starts with something soft. Something safe. Something steady.
A lamb to hold. A bottle to give. A life to nurture.

And that’s exactly why Smudge is so special.

This sweet little girl may never see the world the way we do, but we believe she can still help change someone else’s world. With time, trust, and training, Smudge will be raised to become a certified livestock therapy animal, helping bring comfort, connection, and calm to children from hard places.

Here on this farm, we believe purpose doesn’t depend on perfection.
And sometimes the ones born different carry the deepest kind of beauty.

Welcome to New Magnolia, sweet Smudge.
You are already so very loved.

She was born blind.
But she was not born without purpose.

It’s VERY close to Easter…and We’re nearing the end of lambing season here at New Magnolia Homestead, with just a few ewes left to lamb… and then this little girl came along.

Meet Smudge.

She’s one of our newest bottle babies, and less than 16 hours ago ….she was born blind without eyes.

And while that may sound heartbreaking at first, we don’t believe her story starts with limitation. We believe it starts with purpose….just like all of ours (Romans 8:28)

PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM NEW MAGNOLIA

We can no longer stay silent.

Every single day, innocent cabbages are beheaded.
Carrots are ripped from the ground.
Tomatoes are crushed.
Seeds are violently ground into “milk.”
And entire fields are plowed, displacing and killing bunnies, voles, worms, and countless other small lives all so vegans can enjoy a smoothie bowl in peace.

Nobody wants to talk about the dark side of salad.

Nobody wants to acknowledge the trauma behind oat milk.
The brutality behind kale.
The silent suffering behind a plant based lifestyle.

At New Magnolia, we believe it is time to speak up.
For the cabbage.
For the carrot.
For the vole of the field .
For the bunny’s .
For every innocent life lost in the harvest and planting of Vegan fields.

If you’ve ever cried over a spring mix, this post is for you.

If you’ve ever looked at a plowed field and whispered “who speaks for the voles?” this post is for you.

If you’ve ever felt the emotional weight of seed milk extraction, this post is for you.

Drop a comment for the vegetables.
Share this to raise awareness.
Tag someone who needs to know the truth.

And eat MORE MEAT!!!!

…also, April Fools.

Thank you all for supporting us and our crazy world….and if you found the a bit humorous then like, share and follow!

🐑 our Bottle lamb “Professor Ramsbottom” has an announcement…

“Y’all… what are you waiting for? Come on by.”

We’re OPEN this weekend:
📍 Saturday: 12–4
📍 Sunday: 2–5

The lambs are out.
The piglets are squealing.
The farm is waking up again… and it feels like spring 🌱

If you’ve been meaning to come out… this is your sign.

Bring the kids.
Slow down for a minute.
Let them hold a lamb, laugh a little, and breathe something real.

This place isn’t just a farm store…
it’s where life feels a little fuller.

And hey—Professor Ramsbottom doesn’t like being ignored 😏

👉 Come on by. We’d love to see you.

⚠️ Spring & summer hours start this week—keep an eye out for the update!

03/27/2026

This side of homesteading doesn’t get talked about much…

Everyone sees the animals.
The land.
The “simple life.”

But this isn’t just a farm.

It’s a place where kids can breathe again.
Where chaos slows down.
Where being a kid is finally safe.

Some are ours.
Some we’re just trusted with for a season.

We don’t share everything—on purpose.
But just know… this matters more than anything we grow out here.

Faith. Family. Farm.
