​Ahhh Spring, you’ve always been my favorite. Even before beginning our farming journey I have always loved the anticipation of your bright sunny days and fresh rain.
 
It’s such a hopeful time for any homesteader.  My thoughts are filled with a perfectly manicured garden full of ripe produce ready for the picking. Here on the farm, lambing season is coming to a close and our pastures are inhabited with one of the cutest farm animals on the planet. Birds and flowers are waking up but there is still a certain stillness remaining from winter.
 
Spring reminds me to reflect on the past while keeping goals in mind for the future. I feel as if my slate has been cleaned by the restful nights of winter and it’s time to roll up our sleeves again.
 
Welcome back old friend.

​Welcome to our very first blog entry! Our life here on Belflower Farm began in late 2014 shortly after we were married. We have been committed from the start to improve the health of our land and the health of those that consume our products. If you would like to learn more about who we are please visit the About Us section of our website.
 
Grass-fed beef and lamb have been the core of our farm since the beginning. We believe in rotating our cows, sheep, and chickens on pasture to work with nature rather than fighting against it. According to a study by the Environmental Working Group, grass-fed beef is healthier, safer, and better for the environment  compared to grain-finished beef.
 
This week we welcomed a pair of twin lambs from a first time mother. Her strong mothering  instincts were on display as she cleaned, nursed, and protected them. She had a boy and a girl, who were jumping around and playing within a few hours of being born…can you imagine? This makes five lambs running around our pastures so far this season with 5 more ewes scheduled to give birth any day now.

To love anything good, at any cost, is a bargain. –Wendell Berry
