Guess what!! Our spring calving season has officially come to an end. Our last momma had a bull calf today.
I'm am so thankful that we had such a wonderful spring calving experience, most of these mommas were first timers and they all have taken the momma role wonderfully!

🤞🤞 that our 1 fall calf is just as healthy as these spring babies ♥️

I'm so sorry for the delay! But we just wanted to say Thank you to everyone that stopped by at Lightfoot Farm on Saturday! It was such an awesome day and I was thrilled to have such a successful first market of the year!
We have SOO MUCH in store for this year and I can't wait for the next market!

04/02/2022

Happy Saturday! We are set up at Lightfoot Farm today for their April Market. We are here from 9-2. The weather is WONDERFUL and there are so many vendors here, so its definitely worth the trip!

Carseats, not only safe for toddlers but also safe for transporting flowers 🤣🤣

Do not worry my child was not in the car with me, he was safe at home.

MOOONIE UPDATE:
Mooonie is doing great, we haven't posted much about her recently since we stopped bottle feeding her and took her to so one of their nursing cows could be her surrogate mother and accept her.

She still let's us love on her and she is doing great and growing so it's a win-win for us.

This is the difference between pre-chilling and not pre-chilling Tulip Bulbs. When we get our tulips delivered in the fall I immediately place them in our spare fridge (not in the same fridge as fruits and veggies, they produce a gas that would kill the bulbs over time) for at least 8 weeks.
Tulips need a chill period that doesn't typically happen here in zone 7, so we help them by placing them in the fridge.

03/26/2022

We are SUPER EXCITED to say that we will be at The Lightfoot Farm Market next Saturday from 9am-2pm! Come out and see all these wonderful vendors!

03/24/2022

LOOK who showed up after the first day of Spring! Every year the tulips blow me away! I'm sure its because that means Spring is actually here and flower season is officially starting, but the variety of colors and sizes always surprises me!

03/17/2022

I just might've screamed when I checked the mail yesterday! My order from came in!!! I placed my order last September and I completely forgot what I ordered 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

So I'll be checking the order and planning it all out soon 💓💓💓

Our newest bull calf was born last night! I'm such a sucker for a bald face baby (white face). Just a few more babies to go and our Spring Calving Season will come to an end... Just in time for flower season.

03/05/2022

Our first bloom of the season!! Swipe left to see Ridge's excitement 🤣🤣🤣

02/24/2022

Checking on all of babies and mommas this afternoon! They don't seem to be minding this cold, wet, dreadful weather. We have a new total of 8 babies, with about 3 more on the way!

02/20/2022

FLOWER UPDATE!!!

The Ranunculus, Tulips and Daffodils are COMING!

Our weather has been so up and down lately and I'm sure the flowers are just as confused as we are. I'm hoping to have blooms mid-late March, until then I'll just keep checking and giving them daily pep talks! GROW BABIES GROW!!!

02/12/2022

Mooonie says Good Morning and Happy Saturday everyone!
We are going to spend the morning checking on all of our cows and make sure everyone is good on hay and water. Then we are going to the PBR with family tonight! We hope everyone has a good Saturday!

02/10/2022

Just your daily dose of Mooonie ♥️♥️ she is such a playful calf, and we couldn't be more fortunate for this bottle baby! Wait for the sweetest little moo at the end!

Please excuse my baby talk voice and my toddler saying that he wants to ride her. We are going through a Rodeo obsession, hence why she is named after Ridge's favorite PBR Bull Rider- JB Mauney ♥️♥️♥️

Well it was a BUSY WEEKEND for us. Not only was our pasture covered in ICE and below freezing in the evenings BUT we had 4 baby calves born between Friday afternoon- Sunday afternoon! Most of the babies are good and nursing very well on their mommas!
We have 1 bottle baby and we are not blaming the mom for not taking it, we had a situation with our horse that broke the bond between momma and calf, but the momma is healthy and the baby is thriving! We are praying that she continues to do well and that eventually she will be put out in the pasture with the other ones once she is weaned (in a few months).

01/21/2022

Flower season is coming soon! I'm so excited that my Floret Flower Farm order came in 😍😍😍

Happy First Day of Fall!!!

With the start of a new season brings on a lot of upcoming work!
I will be getting my fall beds ready for seeds, plugs and seedlings. I will also start to rip up a lot of the summer flowers and get the summer garden completely taken down so I can test the soil and get the pH levels ready for the spring! There is a lot of work that goes into flower farming and I'm still learning with hopes that next year and the years to come will be much bigger in order to better serve you all! Happy First Day of Fall!!!

Happy Wednesday!
I spent some of my morning checking on all of my Cold Hardy Seedlings. These little babies will stay inside and continue to grow for a few more weeks before they head outside and get planted. All of these babies will over winter outside and bloom in the spring/early summer(🤞🤞). I'm hoping to have a lot more varieties to offer next year.
