I am growing this farm business to build a life for my family where my children have time to be with their father and my wife has my attention. I want to pray more. I want to wrestle with my children more. I will do what is needed to build this family society. Chicken shipped

Garlic is one of the enterprises we are working to quickly grow. We anticipate shipping out across the country this year and will be meeting purchasing managers in Indiana this year. We are excited to bring American grown, no synthetic chemical, delicious garlic to market.

@tyromper Look at why raw milk is illegal in many places. And the sanitized alternative is somehow the acceptable situation. Much of our “rules” are due to hyper sensitivity to risk brought about by a society fixated on a pidgeonholed understanding of justice as financial remedies only.

A homestead dependent on inputs is not safe from modern logistics. Consider how to feed the animals you have with what you can source and grow. Here is one example - beets! Specifically this is a mangle beet, nearly as large as my face! Great sugars, nutrient profile and more.

When we started homesteading, it was just my wife and I on the west side of Cincinnati with four raised garden beds and a cat. Now I have three pairs of additional hands helping plant hundred foot rows, and tending to animals. Yes, the homestead grew, but so has my family.

Our farm business is evolving. And I’m so excited to talk about it. It has to do with priorities, marketing, content and more. I expect to meet some of you here - more than we already have. Little Way Farm and Homestead is growing - and so is our family - and so is my focus.

Wait for it - this is why a good family / guard dog is imperative. Wait for it - it’s my evidence for this claim. Let’s see those dogs!

Trying out some small scale grain production this year for the family. Wheat, rye and oats!

One of the benefits of feeding pumpkins as treats to livestock across the farm… Pumpkins growing all across the farm. Consider this - these grow in the pasture. No irrigation, weeding, fertilizer at all. More and more I think this is something we need to consider.

This is what good pork can look like. Pastures - woods - forage - no CAFO.

How many eggs did you collect today? It is always amusing to see the size difference between mature hens and the newly laying hens - former pullets. Sometimes the eggs are even more round and the yolks match the size of the egg!

I really enjoy working with the animals. But I have to recognize what makes sense. I think our family business might be garlic.. Join the email list today to be on the list - we received some interesting news today that might change our life…

If you want to close your farm / homestead or reduce your inputs, it’s critical to choose the right breeds. We noticed this early - problematic dispositions, poor growth performance and more when it comes to pasture. To protect your family, choose breeds that work better.

Goats got out. Now, this fencing wasn’t on, but it also had only 2 inch holes. They went right under it….

Amazing opportunity to meet buyers from across the state. We are expanding our garlic business rapidly and might even begin seeking investors. Garlic grown in the States without synthetic chemicals right here in Indiana. Thanks @Indiana_Grown ! Great event!

Between organic traffic and @Half_A_Pond continually calling me out - we are about to pause garlic seed and table sales to prep shipments and confirm remaining quantity. We have a completely different product line hopefully launching for Christmas gifts - until then - wow, we are

Now that is some bone broth right there. Few foods have been so impactful on our family. Game changer. Delicious, nutritious, healthful.

My life looks uncivilized - I work a full time job, run a website business and am developing a farm business to support my family through any situation - I look a mess most of the time - multiple species manure, dirt and a deep tan to let you know the time of year. I love this.
