FAITH, FAMILY, & FARMING
Raising Healthy Livestock
There are a lot of details when it comes to raising livestock, some as simple as knowing the difference between sustainably grown vs. organically grown, with others as difficult as deciding what is best for you and your farm. Here, we clear up some definitions and share how we raise our animals!
From Two Cows to an Online Store

If you’re thinking about raising poultry on your own land, we hope this journal entry simplifies the process and encourages you!
Homesteading vs. Farming
“The Little House on the Prairie dream is possible for everyone…” Families can farm but that doesn’t mean they’re homesteading—and families can homestead but that doesn’t mean they’re farming. What’s the difference though?
