Ingredients 🛒

Fresh nettles (young shoots, under 6 inches tall)

Instructions 👩‍🍳

Harvest young nettles that are under 6 inches tall.
Rinse the nettle leaves thoroughly (using gloves).

Strain the tea into a jar or mug.
Enjoy warm or let cool before serving.

💡Tip: Always harvest nettles from areas free of pesticides or contaminants, and away from roads, and handle fresh nettles with gloves, since they sting before they’re cooked or steeps.

The birds are on the move! Time for everyone to go outside and start their pasture adventures. All of our birds live their lives outside moving around all day long. With poultry fencing, they are protected from most predators and have the opportunity to free range.

04/19/2026

The farm is bursting with spring activity.

04/16/2026

It’s official. Our latest addition, and last lamb of the season, has arrived. In honor of tax day, I’m calling her Revy (short for Revenue).

04/11/2026

Spring has started on the farm! All the chicks and ducklings are here! 20 hens, 25 meat birds, and 3 ducks are joining our 22 chickens, 13 sheep, 4 cats, 2 ducks, and Jack, the farm dog. Turkeys will be here in July, and we are still waiting on the arrival of one more lamb.

Our birds are pasture raised, so they will head outside once they are fully feathered, and it’s warm enough.

Keep an eye for more adventure to come.
