Reber Rock Retreat Sneak Peak

A path that leads to some place different. It is an honor and a privilege to share this weekend with this group of people here at our second annual Reber Rock Retreat. The weekend is not over yet and it has been an inspiration for me thus far:)

Here is a section of our walking meditation path through one of our pastures.

Racey has turned some barn space into a beautiful classroom.

On the other side of the barn is our dining room. What wonderful food we have had thus far.

I look forward to sharing more next week.

Weaning and Pollinators

On the farm this week, we all felt the pressure of heat as a heat wave swept across the country, and we saw unusual temperatures in the high 90s during the day. Chickens were hot, pigs needed a bath, and the humans were somewhere in between. Gratefully, nighttime temperatures still dropped back down into the 70s, so it was okay sleeping weather.

What does Independence Day mean to you?

I love the cadence of national holidays for their capacity to remind me of all the different ways we can approach a topic. In our nation's independence, and in the celebration of that holiday, there is history, both past and present.

Dinner on the farm & Weaning Piglets

Terron and I weaned another round of piglets this week. Weaning is the process of separating piglet from mama. This may sound like a hear wrenching process, and it can be. However we wait until the piglets are much older than a conventional piglet operation. Allowing piglets to be with their mamas for 8-10 weeks.
