D.U.N…done. #plant26 #agtwitter #farmstuff

Well, we put a little bit of our store into our baker’s bakery. We now have a smidge of our stuff in Carrollton, IL…more main locations to be announced soon! Never thought we’d get this far.

Eatin’ time. #moo #realfood

A little late in posting, but I dragged my husband, Mark, along with me to attend the IL Ag Legislative Day event last week. We went with our farm bureau members as well. Mark got a good taste of some of the things I do behind the scenes. We listened to @RepCharlieMeier, @RepSonyaHarper, @SenDorisTurner, @GovPritzker, and then met with a couple afterwards. Thanks to Sen. Jil Tracy as well! Stay tuned with updates about things we are working on with our political leaders. @ILFarmBureau #agriculture #politics #meetandgreet #work

We had a wonderful meeting this morning with @SenDorisTurner! She and Grant are always fun conversation. And we made it up on her door, twice. 😁 Since the weather today was less than desirable, I dressed a little more practical rather than business professional. Thankfully they didn’t care.

Update of stuff: I’ve been absent from posting what’s going on, so if you care, here it is. We just started construction on our 30’x90’ high tunnel. This will be used to grow produce for our stores. She’s a big gal. We should’ve started it last fall when we got it, but harvest is kind of a big deal. I’ll be going back to politic’ing to help pass some legislation & amendments, hopefully, to help people like us opening farmer’s markets stores. I’d rather be on the farm every day, but have to suck it up from time to time and do these necessary things. Store numbers are growing, our 6yr old daughter, Hunter Olivia, she is too-she’s 4’5”-yikes. 😂 That’s a quick update of things.

Lindsay McQueen Ryan and I had a good time at the @ILFarmBureau conference last night. 😉 *made with @grok

We’re so mean… #agtwitter #moo #cow #eatmorebeef

Well, we had a surprise guest! @DarrenBaileyIL & his wife, Cindy, visited both of our stores yesterday. It was great to be able to share what we’re doing and how it’s growing. We’ve had both sides of the aisle come and visit; it’s fun to share what we do with those representing the rest of us. #eatlocal #AgTwitter @ILFarmBureau

Merry Christmas? Well, kind of. This should make feeding the fat cattle a little easier. No more lugging buckets from the grain bin, just lugging them a shorter distance now. 😉 3 ton mobile bin from Green’s Welding & Sales. #AgTwitter #moo #feed

😂

Mark trying out the new snow plow on the gator. Works pretty well! Had to be careful on the gravel. He cleaned up the rest after I took the video. #farmlife #snow #werkin #AgTwitter

It’s a winter wonderland outside! Very pretty, I’m sure the cows are loving it. 😂 Time to go feed them, and bust out the gator snow plow. #snow #farm #centralillinois

The ol’ huz took these tonight. #sunset

Got our good friend, Ryan, in on cutting some bulls today. Fun times. #agtwitter #farm #realfarmlife #moo #balls

Got to see the #northernlights in west central IL. #Auroraborealis

Finally got around to teaching Mark how to use auto steer. Working with your spouse is fun………. #agtwitter #husbandandwife #funtimes #FarmLife

We went out later tonight to mess with the cows, I looked up, and there was a ring around the #moon. Pretty cool.

Done with #harvest this morning! #agtwitter #corn #farm
