Pasteurized a gallon and a half to use fresh and pressure canned the remaining 14 quarts for longer term storage #SmallFarmLife 🐐🍽️

Only one goat is in milk right now but she's giving us almost a half gallon once a day #SmallFarmLife 🐐

Mmm snow kale cooked down in some bacon fat and rabbit stock 🌱🍽️🥓🐇

Supposed to drop down to 17F/-8C overnight with a few inches of snow projected so we'll see if these kale plants can hold on. Hedging my bets by harvesting a bunch for dinner later just in case... 🌱

Finally got it off the grill at 9:18 PM last night, it was a late dinner... 🍽️

Day after Thanksgiving breakfast. Winter Luxury Pie Pumpkins grown from @sevenhillfarm.bsky.social seeds, hands down the best pie pumpkins we've ever grown 🌱

Smoking this bird with apple wood chips and some apple cider in a pan underneath it. Couple more hours to go... 🍽️

Haters (Steve) will hate, but our garden gives us and our rabbits fresh, delicious kale damn near year round 🌱

It's always fun replacing the oven's igniter glow bar 4 days before the busiest cooking day of the year 😅

At least I was able to vacuum up a bunch of dusty cobwebs behind the oven, and also found an offset spatula I've been missing for over a year! 🍽️

BUY kale seeds? This is like 1/3 of my stash 😅

The English language is amazing. So many different dialects and pronunciations but for the most part we can understand each other (and also give each other a healthy shit-talking about saying things wrong).

The correct answer is 1. No time for extra syllables...

Baby chicks are thriving, putting on weight and fluffy feathers for the winter #SmallFarmLife 🐥

I'd love to hear/see the story!

We had a bridge get washed away by some flooding last fall 🙃

Always a great night to stream Ian's show! I'll be enjoying the music with at least one whiskey sour.

This is the bed of my truck about 3 and a half years ago going to pick up pork from the processor. The next time we picked up the meat I put the freezers in the livestock trailer and towed it, made things a bit less stressful going up and down I-95 😅

Having your own goats is both great for and terrible for 10pm ice cream cravings 🍽️🍨 #SmallFarmLife

I let those peppers ferment with some onions, carrots, and garlic for almost a full month, strained it all then blended with some apple cider vinegar, a little bit of the fermenting brine, cumin, and coriander. I forgot I was out of bottles though so need to order some more 😅🍽️🌱🌶️🔥

Everything's going to shit, but at least we have baby goats, cats, and the unbridled happiness and curiosity of childhood to keep us going. #GoatSky #SmallFarmLife

It's finally dropping below freezing tonight, so here's the last big haul from our summer garden. The fennel and Thai basil are making the kitchen smell amazing 🌱

While I was under the minivan busting knuckles and cursing Honda, Lila was able to get a few cloves of garlic planted 🌱
November 9, 2025 at 11:43 PM
Oof 😬 Well, you an save your knuckles by cutting things off if you need to 🤣

Original suspension parts treated us well in the ol' Odyssey, hopefully we can go another 150k miles before I have to do this again 😅

One of the last reminders of summer still holding on strong 🌱

Enjoying some peaceful easy weather by the mountains & watching the children play
