I thought it might be time to formally introduce the two newest members of our farm! Olaf and Sven had heard about the awesome yoga classes we offer and they both thought that some yoga would help with their anger management problems. Of course we welcomed these lovely but spicey boys with open arms and hands full of cookies. It’s been about 2 months I think that they have been here and they are doing great! We figured out what…
We been busy doing farm improvements here. Last year we started building a gravel road that goes to the barnyard and it’s coming along so nicely! This will be so helpful for yoga this summer as it will provide extra parking as well as making it easier to get hay to the barn.

Every one can I’m sure imagine that annoying child who asks 300 times if they have arrived at the destination… it’s me I’m that kid. We have reached mid January also known as half way to cabin fever crazy can’t wait until spring time. As I aimlessly scroll through Facebook and see all my fellow sheep farmers have started lambing my farming soul gets itchy. Much to my ewes dismay I start staring at them. The staring is usually followed…
This journey of moveing hasn’t exactly been filled with happiness. When I call my realtor to look at properties I always ask her if she is ready for an adventure. I know that once this whole process is over with and the stress of moveing is done we will be so grateful. In the meantime I will try to find joy or at least humor in the journey and wear each gray hair I’m getting with honor!
Fall is quickly taking hold with the trees shedding their leaves and frost on the ground when I wake up. We put up more permanent fencing on the hill for the sheep to winter on. The waters in the pastures this morning had a nice layer of ice on top that I broke apart for the animals. I realized that I have been feverishly knitting christmas gifts but don’t have a pair of mittens for myself. I worked Gus today…
Motherhood is something that no class, no lectures from wise older moms and no amount of research can prepare you for. I spent the majority of my pregnancy (which to me seemed years long) pretending that we would magically skip over the whole birth thing. I am sure that most first time mom’s have many of the same worries that I had while pregnant with my kiddo. Will I be a good mom, will she love me, how will I…
In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. -Janos Arnay I thought it might be time to introduce ourselves since we have acquired so many new followers. If you have been following us from the beginning you might have noticed that Cacia Farms has been many things. We started out when I convinced my husband we would raise meat rabbits on our 1/4 acre lot in our small town. Well 30 some odd rabbits, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and…
When my husband woke up late and asked if the baby and I could do morning chores yesterday I had no idea what I was in for! Usually chores are easy and relaxing as I love going out and talking to my sheep (I call them my girls) all while Purdy dutifully watches over them. Everything was off to a great start the horses were well behave and eating in their stalls while I walked out to do the sheep…
I had the most wonderful birthday yesterday spending quality time for myself. My wonderful mother in-law watched my beautiful baby for me giving me the day off. I had a lot of time to think about the past years up and downs and what I had learned from them. Last year we made the decision to finally jump in and buy the farm. We no longer wanted to wait to have our farm and start our dream. Shortly after finding…
