article Faith, Risk and Helping Hands

This week, with the help of our friends at Breakthru Beverage Group, we made incredible progress on our new high tunnel! This space will soon be home to our newest chicks—who are quickly growing into beautiful hens (with a couple of surprise roosters in the mix). What would have taken MariKate and I days was finished in just a couple hours. A huge shout‑out to everyone who lent a hand!

🍓 Holy Jam!

Our Local Chemical-Free Jam flew off the shelves last week—faster than anything we’ve ever launched! Sourced from Fish Lake Organic Berry Patches in Goshen, IN (just about two hours east of us), these vibrant, chemical-free berries have been a total game-changer. We’re likely to sell out of this first batch by the end of the week—so grab yours while they’re still hot! 🙂

🛒 But don't forget the other products!

We’re noticing that the size of each order has been steadily increasing over the last few months. So thank you!! Voting with your grocery dollars by placing larger orders make a huge impact on keeping our chemical‑free mission thriving!

Here are some protein staples you'll love:

• Chicken: Pasture‑raised, local and delicious.

💭 Reflections on Faith, Risk & Moving Forward

After the whirlwind of the past few months—navigating the bird flu and federal funding freezes—we’ve had plenty to contemplate. It’s given us time to reflect not just on what we’re doing, but why we’re doing it. Out of that came this week’s blog post: "Fear of Being Irrational".

It’s an honest look at what it feels like to pour everything—our time, energy, and finances—into a vision that sometimes feels both bold and, frankly, a little bit crazy. Our thoughts lately on fear, faith, and what it means to trust the process when the outcomes are far from guaranteed.

If you’re someone who’s ever taken a leap of faith (or thought about it), we think this one will resonate.

Thank you for believing in and investing in a healthier lifestyle for yourselves, your families, and your community. Let’s keep growing together.
