Our premie lamb is getting stronger by the day—he’s officially been named Iceman (Icy, if you’re on cuddling terms) and will eventually join his dad, Maverick, in the ram paddock. Our two new mini horses, Snopy & Woodstock, have also settled in beautifully, adding plenty of mischief to the pasture.

Out in the vineyard, our chickens have moved to a fresh block where they’re already hard at work cleaning up weeds, scratching through cover crop, and hunting down every last bug they can find. Their rotation is keeping the vines tidy and the soil alive—just the way we like it.

Our goats are also gearing up for a big new job: they’re about to begin training with their GPS collars, preparing them to head into the canyon for fire abatement alongside their loyal livestock guardian dogs. It’s a major step toward our long-term land stewardship goals, and we’re excited to see them take it on.

This past weekend brought one of our favorite moments of the year: a fantastic Unity Shoppe fundraiser and farm tour, where together we raised over $2,500 for families in our community. The afternoon was filled with warmth, good company, and unforgettable bites from our artist and chef-in-residence, Libby Holland.

The farm hums along as always—animals thriving, projects unfolding, fields shifting with the season. We can’t wait to share more with you each week as the year continues to grow.

Regenerative farming isn’t a trend for us. It’s the operating system of the land—an agreement with this ridge, this soil, this sunlight—that what we take must be returned with care, intention, and a sense of stewardship that stretches far beyond a single harvest. Healthy soil grows healthy food, and healthy food grows healthy humans. Everything begins there.

On these windswept acres above the Pacific, we farm without disturbing the soil. No-till isn’t just a technique; it’s a reverence for the microscopic universe beneath our feet. Intact soil holds life the way a good book holds a story—with structure, mystery, and endless potential. By keeping our soil undisturbed and never leaving it bare, we protect the networks of fungi, microbes, and minerals that feed our crops long before we ever harvest them.

Biodiversity is our compass. Instead of monocrops, our fields unfold like a mosaic—flowers tucked beside vegetables, herbs bordering fruit trees, cover crops threading between them. These living patterns invite pollinators, build resilience, and buffer the land against the wild swings of weather that now shape modern farming.

Our animals move through these landscapes as co-farmers. Sheep, cows, llamas, goats, and chickens rotate through our fields, adding organic matter, eating weeds, stirring fertility back into the land. Their presence keeps our soils breathing and alive, closing the loop in the most ancient way.

Because we are certified organic, our fields never see synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Instead, weeds are managed with rolls of cardboard and generous layers of mulch—slow, natural, and deeply effective. The result is soil that’s richer every year.

And regeneration isn’t theoretical here. It’s measurable. Our practices help sequester an estimated 150,000 tons of carbon and 4 million gallons of water, quietly repairing what industrial agriculture has broken.

This is the work that nourishes us. This is the work that nourishes you. And this is the work that keeps the land extraordinary for generations to come.
