This Is The Sign

I have a farm. We're crawling with pastured chickens & turkeys, fresh organic veggies, and fruits. There are moments every day worth sharing. Turkeys gobbling at the sound of the tractor, the barn across the street swimming in a beautiful low fog, fuzzy...

Never Mind the Gatekeepers

The maple by our driveway must have gotten the memo yesterday that it was the first day of fall. None of the other trees seem to be on board, but I watched from the kitchen as 5 or 6 taffy yellow maple leaves spun leisurely towards the ground. Maybe none of the other...

Growth is great, a right-sized business is better.

I've been wanting to grow culinary mushrooms at home and went on a major how-to video binge-watching spree on Youtube the other night. I was up until nearly midnight soaking in all the different methodologies and techniques like a sponge. One account, in particular,...

Is Your Marketing Coming on Too Strong?

When I deleted my personal Instagram account I didn't make an announcement or cue anyone into what was going to happen. In hindsight, maybe that was reckless, but the people I'm meant to stay connected with have reached out on other platforms, so I think (hope) I'm...
