Living seasonally is more than just an aesthetic, it's inevitable when you are committed to local, sustainable production. Winters in Missouri get cold, and we can't grow tomatoes all year. But we are always working to find locally grown, spray free canned items for the winter. We have candied jalapenos and pepper jelly brand new in the store today!

Chicken is also seasonal on our farm. The meat birds don't do well in extreme weather, and we only raise them February through October. We are currently fully stocked on chicken, but this last batch will sell out (starting with boneless breasts of course) and we will have our first beef ready to take its place at the beginning of December.

We enjoy the change, variety and pacing that comes with living a little more in tune with the seasons. I personally really enjoy the transition to squash, ham and beans, chili, baking all the things, and a little more time with a book or puzzle that comes with cooler and shorter days.

If you haven't been in the store in a few weeks, it's always worth a stop to see how things are changing with the seasons ☺️🍂

It's a beautiful fall day, and a big day at the Farm Store!

We have a limited amount of grass fed ground beef from Light to Life Farm in the store today! 🙌 If you haven't met Austin and Bri you can find them at the Lee's Summit farmer's market. They are really doing some amazing things with their farm this year and we are so excited to watch all of their hard work and dedication pay off in some amazing finished products 💚

We have our second Stil Dreamn Dairy & Creamery / Riega Foods crossover cheese curd flavor in stock today! Now our ranch and brand new CHILI curds are made with local organic seasonings. Honestly cannot wait to get a bigger dairy fridge in here so you can more easily shop our 8 different curd flavors and even more new dairy products we want to be able to bring you! New fridge is in the works 😊

Speaking of dairy, we have some chocolate milk that is dated for tomorrow 😶 and while I have a birthday girl who would probably volunteer to drink all of it, I'd much rather share the love a little bit 😅 50% off all chocolate milk dated for the 18th, if you could use a little treat today it'll be perfect.

Also perfect to go with your pastries 🙌 we have freshly baked croissants, pop tarts and cookies from Rai's Bake Shoppe this morning, as well as sourdough from Wheat Steak, and of course Saturday is always Cinnamon Roll Day! 🥳

Wherever your weekend is taking you, we have some wonderful local ingredients to make it even better at your Farm Store. And the whole family will be here with me after market until 6pm, so if you've ever wanted to chat or ask questions, today's a perfect day.

We post a lot of pretty views of the store, our products, and our animals. That's because when we're working on a less-than-picturesque project, it's usually pretty inconvenient to pull out a camera. Even this picture looks nicer than I meant for it to. I was trying to point out the 🐷💩 I had just accidentally knelt in 😅

We weaned around 20 pigs today, which involves getting fairly up close and personal wIth them. It's a messy job, it's a very physical job, and it's definitely a 2 person job. It's something that we've needed to do much more regularly this year and have not had the time. But, I've been officially full time on the farm for the last 2 weeks! It's the first time I've been without a consistent outside work schedule, even through grad school, since I was 15 years old.

It's a little nerve wracking pulling both of us to the farm full time. Especially after pouring so many resources into the new store. But I feel like we're growing a lot lately, and for better or worse we are just doing the things that used to seem scary. We're doing what we love, with the people we love. And that feels really good.

We started this week by moving the rest of our cattle out to the new farm, and finished by getting about half of our feeder pigs separated and into their main pasture today. Those are both projects that have been on the ever running to-do list quite literally for months. But they are the ones that just can't be done without a second set of hands. They're also really important steps to getting a steady supply of meat to your table!

Opening the store has been so fun, and you guys have been great! Our red meat takes months or years to grow, and unfortunately we couldn't double the amount we had available before opening the store 😅 But we are growing so much behind the scenes, and we are catching back up with demand soon!

In the mean time, if you've stayed with me this far, you're the first to know that we will have a limited amount of grass finished ground beef from Light to Life Farm available at the store tomorrow, Saturday the 17th 💚

I hope you had a lovely day enjoying this weather I ordered! Hopefully with less 🐷💩 than I did 😅

This crossover warms my heart more than I can say, but you know I'm gonna try 😅

We have been finding (and sometimes fumbling) our way through farming for 10 years now. We prioritize a happy, natural environment for our animals, and sourcing the cleanest feeds for them we can. It's a constant process of learning and changing to reach our goals, but we think it's so worth it.

I tell people all the time that it has been so fun to find other producers doing really cool things with similar values, and these are some of my favorite examples.

When I found Stil Dreamn Dairy & Creamery through a search I was blown away by how they checked all the boxes. A2A2 exclusively, a dedicated rotational grazing system to keep their girls happy and on green pasture, low temp pasteurized for safety while preserving as many good enzymes as possible, and, my favorite part, non homogenized milk!

When I found out about Riega Foods I was just as blown away! All organic ingredients, no fillers, and directly sourcing ingredients from farmers, which means no leaving farmers to struggle with wages that don't cover inputs 💚

But now, 2 of my favorite producers are together in one product 🙌 Stil Dreamm's delicious ranch curds are now made with our favorite Riega ranch seasoning!!

Neal and I were supposed to be at the store for a little bit this afternoon, but we ended up chasing cows all morning instead 😩 So we will be closed for a short time this afternoon while Kris goes to a meeting, from 145 to about 3.

But check out these pictures she sent me! We still have plenty of eggs, sourdough, A2A2 milk and much more. So stop in before 145 or between 3-6 today and we'll be happy to help you source local, clean groceries for your week 😊

Know your farmer, know your food. 💚 And I guess know that sometimes your food likes to give your farmer a hard time 😅

I don't know what your Monday has in store, but mine is better after learning to use this 3 cup moka pot to make espresso on the stovetop in seconds, and for only 16.99 🙌 I didn't buy one the first time we ordered them because I already have a 9 cup, but this little guy is a GAME CHANGER. (And if you missed cinnamon rolls this weekend Rai's Bake Shoppe brown sugar cinnamon pop tart is packed with cinnamon 🙌

Happy Monday friends. Know your farmer, know your food 💚
