Jan 29-31/2023. A busy few days with some big things happening! Francie and I made a trip to Red Bluff for some fresh haircuts with our friend @morgandene! We tried to start Maisie’s Kids Cooking Show on Instagram live with her first guests Fran, Lois & Martha from @ballerinafarm but IG had a glitch and you couldn’t go LIVE together with a good connection so we each did our own and the girls made a delicious spaghetti meal! Kids COOKBOOK coming soon. We also had a big week with our first official on-ranch, USDA inspected and certified beef harvests. This took YEARS of planning and so much thought and paperwork and hurdles to jump over under and through. It’s really amazing to harvest our livestock right here in the ranch with no trailering or relying on outside facilities. Brian has done SO much to get us here and has had long days all week setting up our systems and managing the compliance and daily operations which include a USDA inspector from the United States Department of Agriculture here on the ranch for every harvest from start to finish. It’s been an intense week of work but we are proud to be where we are! Oh and we also got to celebrate Karl’s 16th birthday and Tess hasn’t missed a cold morning of duck season on the ponds yet! 😊
