Farm Progress

We started out on densely overgrown unincorporated forest land in the foothills of central California. At the time, there was probably more poison oak growing than actual oak trees, it was literally everywhere, even overshadowing and killing huge valley oaks at least fifty years old. We praised God and persevered when we learned that we're immune to the poisonous sap. We collected scrap wood and discarded tires from the side of the road, caught some breaks here and there, pulled our sleeves up and grinded out a ranch on this gentle sloping ridge we call home, and we have no regrets. The most recent construction project, a solar power shed, was built with about 90% scrap wood. Then we proceeded to dig a trench system down the hillside, that is our driveway, with hopes of getting water runoff to fill a pond area for our sheep in pasture. This is what we're all about; working hard to repair the land, reviving the soil and clearing noxious weeds with the help of grazing animals. Our goal is a good quality of life for the ruminants, a beautiful and fire safe landscape for us to behold each day, and quality meat in the markets.
