Blooming Joy Farm

Icelandic Sheep / Heritage Jersey Cows

Come Grow With Us!

Two decades ago, our farm took root on a nine-acre expanse of untouched land. Over the years, we constructed our residence, nurtured our children, and tended to a diverse array of farm animals. Through this journey, we have garnered invaluable insights into land preservation and animal husbandry. Central to our ethos has always been a commitment to sustainable practices and a holistic approach to livestock care.

The essence of a farmer lies in a perpetual quest for knowledge, drawing wisdom from both successes and setbacks. In this space, we aim to impart our learnings and perspectives on embracing a simple, holistic lifestyle.

Icelandic Sheep-These remarkable creatures, with their dual-purpose nature, symbolize the very heart of our farm. From their lovely wool to their nourishing milk and gourmet meat, Icelandic sheep offer a trifecta of benefits perfectly suited to our small-scale operation.

Today I am thankful for the beautiful sunrise and frost sparkling on the fleeces of my sheep. There’s much to be grateful for even in the struggle of the day.

Raising children around animals gives opportunity

Raising children around animals gives opportunity for some beautiful teaching moments. The moments are laced with patience and an understanding from the caregiver. To provide opportunity for children to think about and care for an animal ingrains a sense of responsibility and awareness outside their little world. There is great reward from being responsible and hard working for the betterment of an other life. Teaching our children to do hard or new things helps them grow into resilience and builds self confidence. Our children may surprise us with how capable they truly are! #getoutside #icelandicsheep #thegreatoutdoors #farmkids

Planning for and obtaining a livestock guardian do

Planning for and obtaining a livestock guardian dog has brought us through a huge learning curve. They are not like having a companion dog. Their instincts are primal and their senses are keen. They are independent thinkers and fearless protectors. These are the exact trait and characteristics that makes an excellent guardian dog. We have an older, well experienced LGD, Eos, that has been an excellent mentor for Liam, our puppy. Liam has graduated to roaming the field with the sheep. His favorite way to spend time in the field is to mouse! He is loyal, eager to please and very alert. He has taught us much as we continue this learning curve of having LGD’s to protect and defend.

The clouds started rolling in creating this beautiful canvas of color, drama and texture. And the rain started gently coming down cooling the evening air. I looked toward the mountains and saw the most beautiful rainbow, not one but two bows, completely over our farm. Every time, without fail, it reminded me of the beautiful promise! So thankful and abundantly blessed.
