I think it's safe to say that yesterday was a highlight of Rob's farming career. He got to spend the day with author, lecturer, and sustainable agriculture icon JOEL SALATIN! The guy is so inspiring. If you haven't already, definitely give his books a read! Warning: they will probably inspire you to start growing some of your own food and to really find out where your meat comes from! Also, check him out in the documentary Food, Inc! #joelsalatin #rotationalgrazing #pastureraised #paleo #knowyourfarmer #grassfed #polyfacefarms (at Tara Firma Farms)

These two are the newest additions to the farm crew! Betty and Ghost are Great Pyrenees pups and will soon take their post as livestock guardian dogs, protecting the chickens from predators. As for now, these adorable little fluff balls just follow Rob around the farm and charm all the visitors! (at Tara Firma Farms)

A beautiful Sunday calls for fresh squeezed lemonade, don't you think? I've sweetened it with coconut sugar, which gives it a slightly darker appearance. I used one cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice (5-6 lemons) 1 cup of coconut sugar simple syrup (made by heating up coconut sugar and water on the stove) and 4 cups of water. It's so delicious and refreshing and not too sweet! Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day! #freshjuice #freshsqueezed #homemade
