Lucy and the rest of the farm say LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN.
Happy Solstice all!
Caught Lucy high atop the alfalfa recently soaking in the little slivers of sun. #lovemylgd
Piglet pile and pink sunrise. Happy Friday eve!!!
Lucy’s Christmas wish came early! About 12 inches of accumulation since over the weekend.
After the long night welcoming Pistachio’s babies, it was time for a hearty breakfast. Enter biscuits and gravy!
My recipe calls for both butter and shortening which I substituted nearly 1:1 for our leaf lard. Eyeballing it for that perfect crumble consistency and they turned out amazingly! Message to get yours.
If only it could have been our sausage. This summer!
Welcome to the world peanuts!!!
Our precious Pistachio began nesting yesterday afternoon and went into labor 1:30 this morning, delivering 9 precious babies by 3:30 am.
Life and other projects had gotten in the way so it was a mad dash last night preparing the newly divided barn and putting up more fencing. In the driving snow of course!
Unlike last time, we got to be there for each birth which is truly amazing.
We are so grateful Lazy Pig Homestead sold us both Pistachio as well as Aspen, and are thrilled with this litter size.
Now it’s supporting mama and squash watch stress so please send your love. Hooray for bacon seeds!
Snow: One star. Too wet, too cold. Do not recommend. - Aspen
He gives his hut 5 stars though so he will clearly survive!
Happy Friday all!
Look at this gorgeous ham!!!
A customer texted that they had our ham for Thanksgiving and it was just as delicious as it looks.
We are less than two weeks from Pistachio’s due date and will be taking reservations soon. Message if you are interested in a half or whole share!
It’s the little things!
Supporting local businesses doesn’t have to cost any money. While your purchases are always greatly appreciated, a post share, Google review and kind words can mean just as much.
An egg customer sent me this note and it has absolutely made my day: “My little family appreciates this so much! Being able to feed my grandchildren quality eggs makes me feel so good! ❤️”
I will be at the Mosier School 10-4 if you are out and about, and hugs are always welcome too!!

Happy Caturday from the catiests of all our barn cats! May we all embrace the day as Moonlight does her doggos.
Moonlight has turned out to be a very fitting name for this sibling as she slips through the farm like a shadow, day and night.
Occasionally she will emerge and taunt you as if she wants pets, only to prance away as soon as you get close.
However, she has an extreme affinity for the dogs. Always has.
I caught her loving on Lucy this week and just had to share! It’s extra entertaining as Lucy still has impulse control issues when it comes to cats and loves to chase and try to play with them. The look of bewilderment on her face is priceless!
This is it, my final Holiday Market of the season!
Come on out to the Mosier School this weekend in support of local artisans.
I have tons of new designs and no time to photograph them so this could be your only chance to get your hands on them.
I’ll also have lard and 2025 pork reservations available.
Can’t wait to see you there!
