Hello Monday 🌱🥦
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Our biggest broccoli harvest yet! 🥦🙌
So thankful for these little helpers! The kids have been working hard in the garden, and today they got to see some of that hard work pay off.
They were pretty proud of their harvest—and honestly, they should be! 💚🌱

Remember that mountain of cucumbers I asked you to guess about?

Here's the final count:
🥒 7 quarts of sliced pickles
🥒 2 quarts of pickle spears
🥒 11 pints of pickle spears

That's 20 jars of pickles from that harvest!
I'd say those cucumbers were pretty good to me after all. Now... who's ready to do it all over again? 😂💚

Well... Rita had plans of her own today. 🐾
She surprised us with 5 adorable little kittens! Momma is doing great, babies are cozy, and the cuteness level around the farm just went through the roof. 🤍
Welcome to the farm, little ones!

Fresh sourdough straight from the oven... The kids are already waiting with the butter asking, "Is it cool yet?" 🍞😂 I don't think this loaf is going to last long.
