A birthday throwback: one of my favorite pictures of some of my favorite people. 💛 And one that represents the stage of farming and life we are in. Observing, learning, and trying to be responsible stewards of the animals in front of us and the kiddos watching us. Happy birthday, Christopher! There’s no one else I’d rather live this life with. 💛 #knowyourfarmer #farmlifeisthebestlife #farmkids

Today seems like another good day to stay inside! The cattle still go out on pasture to bale-graze everyday, but when it’s super cold or windy, they mosey back up and hang out in the barn. Not a bad idea, really. ❄️😊❄️ Stay warm, Minnesota friends! #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm

‘Tis this season for early nights and hearty dinners. Who’s ready for a grass-fed pot roast or roasted pastured chicken this weekend? We can help with that! 😘 #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #grassfedbeef

This year’s deer season was a success! Super thankful to be able to put some venison in the freezer. Good luck to our Wisconsin friends across the border next weekend! #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #mndeerhunting

We bale-graze through the winter so the cattle can spread nutrients over the pasture year-round. Part of winter prep is getting the poly posts set in place before the ground freezes and the snow falls. I’m sure glad we got this done a couple weekends ago, because it sure feels like January out there! #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #mnwinter #grassfedbeef

Every year, we are humbled by stories of brave and selfless service members. Thank you to all veterans and their loved ones. 💛🇺🇸 #veteransday @marshallramsey

A little reminder of what the deer opener looked like two years ago... This year we have frost instead of snow, and an oldest who has fingers crossed that she’ll get to head out at least once this year. We are forever thankful for the opportunities, experiences, and lessons this farm has in store for us. 💛 Happy opener, fellow Minnesotans! ・・・
“Let parents then bequeath to their children not riches but the spirit of reverence.”
~Plato
Our oldest can’t wait for the day that she’s old enough to head out with her dad for deer season. This farm life has so many benefits, not least of which is an opportunity to teach our children how to be responsible omnivores. In a few short years, there will be two sets of footprints headed out, and I couldn’t be more proud. 💛 -LK

This is a simple, compact explanation of why we do what we do. Rotationally grazed, intensively managed grass fed beef is the single most regenerative and sustainable food source. Every day, the cattle are adding nutrients, water storage, and habitat back to the land around them. The end product is the cleanest, most nutritious protein source for your family! It’s healthy for the animals, environment, and you.

Looks like it’s time to bring in the three-season moveable water tank... 😁 The cattle have been using the water tank in our winter corral for a week or so, and we spent some time this weekend tidying up out in the pasture. Who else is getting ready for winter? #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #winteriscoming #mnwx

The market season is ending, and we are so thankful for each and every person through the season that stopped to chat about regenerative farming, local food, and our Braham Bombers football team. 😉 We are celebrating today with a special customer appreciation sale! 💛 9am-1pm today at the @cambridgefarmersmarketmn ! #marketday #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #gobombers

Finally!! The pork is here! A year later than originally planned, but well worth the wait. We pan-fried these chops with just a hint of Kanabec County Fair pork chop seasoning, and they were perfect. If you’ve had enough of bland, dry, soy-filled hog house pork, we can help with that! 😉 #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #soyfree #cornfree #kanabeccounty #eatlocal

It’s market day! Chris will be at the @cambridgefarmersmarketmn (in the @citycentermarket parking lot) from 9am-1pm. Weather permitting, it might be the last Saturday market of the season. Say hi to Chris and learn about our 2019 winter meat-drop plans! 😊 #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #marketday #farmersmarket #meatdrop

First frosty morning on the farm! Chris is headed to Minneapolis tonight for our monthly drop, and we’re busy today rolling out our winter pop-up market / meat drop plans. Even though the farmers market season is coming to a close (one more Saturday!), our selling season isn’t. We’ll have regeneratively raised, non GMO, corn and soy free meat available as long as our freezers are full! #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #msp

This time of year, Chris puts extra thought into how much grazing space to give the cattle each day. We want to make sure to give them enough on each move (happy cows) without overgrazing (healthy pasture), with an added goal of keeping them out on the green grass as long as possible. We have plenty of hay put up for the winter, but out on the “salad bar” is where we want the herd. That’s how you get clean, nutrient dense beef while also improving the environment! #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm #grassfedbeef

Cooler seasons are slow-cooking seasons! Who’s ready for pot roast? #knowyourfarmer #simplifyyourfood #yellowhutchfarm
