Well, well, well….look what the cat dragged in…. We’ve been away for a few months, but for good reason. We have had some pretty big events happen around here and in our personal lives. Normal life occurrences and some pretty wonderful things as well. We share what has been going on, and how the Lord […]

In this episode, we discuss some thoughts both Sean and I have been wrestling with lately – the reality of living on a farm is settling in (along with US settling in to our new life) and it’s a really good & difficult transition. We hope that a glimpse into our process helps anyone that […]

In this episode we catch you up on the last few weeks (sorry for the delay in episodes!) and try to answer some questions we have received from you! We touch on the balancing act of parenting-homeschooling-farming, what it is like looking for a new church, how we found our Virginia realtors and if our […]

In this episode we begin by apologize whole-heartedly for our two week sabbatical from recording – we’ve had a lot going on around the farm, and it’s been next to impossible to find a spare moment to dig out the microphones and put out a new episode! But we are back and sharing what is […]

In this episode, we cover all the normal “happenings” around the farm – some “farm firsts” like cutting our first beds for our eventual vegetable/fruit/flower garden & mapping out our fruit orchard. Rachel makes bone broth, and we chat about those darn guinea fowl! We also take some time and discuss the intersection of our […]

In episode 9 we cover a lot of ground. We share some “farm firsts,” including our first vegetables (!!!!!) which was very exciting and a few embarrassing moments (but one that we can certainly learn from!) We nosedive into this week’s topic which all centers on the idea of “failure” and how that can really […]

In this episode we talk about some difficult “firsts” that we encountered this week. The passing of our beloved family dog, “Molly”, our first tick bite (YIKES!) and Sean’s new zero-turn mower! It was a big week for us in the “firsts” category, but we learned a lot. We also tackle the commonly asked question, […]

In this episode, we share this week’s “first”, which is that our Guinea Fowl arrived! All 20 of them came via USPS, and gave the entire post office quite an active morning! We answer some Q&A’s and Sean shares what God is teaching him through the process of soil preparation – it may be late […]

*Shout-out to anyone who knows the reference of our post title!* We’ve been in Virginia for a little over three weeks and are LOVING it here! We can’t believe that it’s gone by so quickly – in some ways we feel like we’ve been here forever, and in other ways, we feel like we just […]

In our fifth episode we were supposed to talk about our new chickens but…… They didn’t arrive on time *sad trombone*. This event actually made for a perfect road into the topic we ended up speaking about: PATIENCE! Both Sean and myself are learning that patience is cultivated on the farm – in so […]
