The domestic side
Highland Farmhouse Life
The barn is only half the story. This is the other half: what's coming up in the garden, which corner of the old farmhouse we're working on, and the everyday business of raising kids alongside kids. Written from the kitchen table, in the quiet moments between chores.
From the farmhouse
The garden went in later than we planned, but the first radishes are up — colorful, spicy, and worth the wait.
A color we sat on for a long time, and the way it makes the old wood tones pop.
Goats prefer browsing over grazing, which makes them perfect pasture companions — and it does more for their health than most people realize.
A wild swarm settled in one of our peach trees, and our friends at Shiloh Hill Apiaries came and gave them a home.
Some of them are over 150 years old. I always wonder whose hands held them, and what got tucked away between the pages.
The rug was the excuse. The floors are the reason — oak my dad laid himself, in the house I grew up in and now farm with my own family.
