Where do you vacation when you’re currently obsessing #regenerative agriculture? Places where you can see #permaculture techniques in action. Longhorns help keep this popular part of the National Forest accessible by grazing, but only in the summer when forage is ample and the ground can handle their weight. #nomowingrequired #longhorns

Finally edited all the photos…feeling pretty wistful about our first big, just-the-2-of-us roadtrip in recent memory, exploring the country roads of western #Virginia. #naturalbridge #naturalbridgestatepark #nointerstates

Whatever you do, don’t tell our chickens how much time we spent with the @PolyfaceFarm laying hens on our Virginiastravaganza road trip last week.

The scrapwood chicken chateau debuts today! We framed, cladded, and painted this glorious poultry palace even before finalizing a chick order with the breeder back in March (all with wood from our scrap pile—we don’t pay those high prices). Back before the sweat bees, mosquitos, and oppressive heat showed up to help us put the finishing touches on.

Miss Kiwi’s got style. And what she lacks in tail, she makes up for in hat. For the record, her breed is supposed to have a tail. We could tell soon after bringing this year’s chicks home that little Kiwi would be rumpless. Most adorable genetic mutation ever. #creamlegbar #chickens #chicksrule #fresheggs #eggrainbow #mypetsmakemebreakfast #babyanimals
