What I will tell them about you
The brutal, heart-shattering truth is that Molly and Eleanor are not going to remember as much about Grandpa Chuck as I would like. They are 3 and 5 and their brains aren’t yet able to grasp a bigger picture. They … Continue reading

Best. Homestead. Ever.
Another growing season is coming to a close, and I don’t know what it is about this last month, but everything seems to be coming together. I think we’re finally grasping some of the complexities of this pasture-based animal husbandry … Continue reading
