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.

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.

Time… It’s our most precious commodity, spending it in way that will matter and make a difference in our lives and in others. Time… Giving it to others to show that we care and that they are valued and thought of. It cost nothing but our time to show the riches of this world……taking time to enjoy the moment we have right now….

Did you know that supporting local farms and markets isn’t just about fresh produce and unique finds? It’s about preserving the backbone of our communities and safeguarding our food security. Small scale farmers contribute to bio diversity conservation with over 75% of the world‘s crop diversity disappearing in the past century. Help support your local farmers by buying produce, meat and other products.

Tasting and feeling the difference when eating clean meat is of great value to our overall health. Raising livestock for your own consumption and providing offerings for the public helps build a food supply that is of great quality and nutritional value. When sourcing meat in your local area or even outside your local market ask the farmer how the animal was raised and what the nutrition program is on their farm. Quality matters from the moment the animal is born until they are processed. You can see and taste the difference. Buy local and support your local farmer.
