As the weather sways back and forth from Spring back to Winter and back to Spring again, we are beginning to feel life preparing to POP!!

Daffodils Bloom. Tree buds express. Grass is beginning to grow. Baby animals are being born.

On the farm, it’s time to wrap up all final winter fence and water system repair projects, test out the equipment and get ready for the next 6 months of rotational grazing and hay making.

Alvin’s Jersey’s are looking healthy and we’re ready for milk production to rise for making more of our Alpine Heritage Raw Organic A2 Grass Fed Cheeses which ya’ll have been eating as fast as we can make it!

John’s new farm assistant Wilbur is turning out to be a God-send. After another surgery, our other farm manager, Sam, is back in the saddle.

John and Verna’s new baby boy, Jeremiah, is growing strong. And, a few more guardian herd puppies joined us and are in training.

Thank you all for your condolences after our tragic loss last month. We are beginning to return to as normal as it can get after such heartbreak.

We are resilient and will keep on keeping on producing healthy pasture raised meats and cheeses for our community with the confidence that the beautiful spirits who left us are at home with God and in our hearts.

Greetings from the snow-covered mountains of Virginia. Here on the farm, we are having an old-fashioned Winter with lots of cold, wind, and snow. Amazingly, the cows don’t seem to mind the cold weather until the real feel temperature falls below 20 degrees.

Blessings to All This Christmas!!

Lamb Coming This Winter

Feels like Winter this week with 6-inches of snow at Burke’s Garden. The kids couldn’t wait to get out of school to go sledding down the hill. On the farm, this means the animals eat more food to stay warm and water troughs need to have ice broken each day.

Spring is Here!
