The Belly Rub Bacon has arrived! We had a busy spring so opted to get our piglets a little later this year, and we decided to go back to Berkshire crosses based on our bacon preferences :) We'll start taking orders soon! #bellyrubbacon #pasturedpork #pasturedpigs #grassfed #livestockfarming #livestockfarm #piglets #pigs #berkshirepork #minnesota #farming #farmlife (at Finlayson, Minnesota)

Found a small patch of wild blue iris on the edge of one of our marshes when I was out putting up cattle fencing. #anotherdayattheoffice #farmlife #nofilter #farming #regenerativefarming #sustainablefarming #wildflower #wildblueiris #blueiris #marsh #farmingwithnature #nature #gooutside #beinnature #pasture #rotationalgrazing #livestockfarming #grassfed #grassfedbeef #grassfarming (at Finlayson, Minnesota)

Our new livestock guardian dog, Shadow. Since moving into the new house we have realized just how much coyote pressure Lena and Polly are contending with. Shadow is a young dog but looks and acts a lot like Lena. High hopes she's going to fit in well here. #livestockguardian #livestockguardiandog #sheepdog #workingdog #maremma #spanishmastiff #polishtatrasheepdog #livestockdog #livestockfarming #lgd #farming #newfarm #newfarmers #beginningfarmers #regenerativefarming #pasture #grassfed #grassfedlamb #grassfarming #rotationalgrazing #farmlife (at Finlayson, Minnesota)

The dandelions peaked a couple weeks ago but in their prime they were the first choice treat in a fresh paddock! #grassfed #pasture #grassfedlamb #pasturedlamb #grassfarming #dandelions #rotationalgrazing #sustainablefarming #regenerativefarming #beginningfarmers #newfarm #farming #farmlife (at Finlayson, Minnesota)
