Here's what's happenin' on the farm


Hello from Harvest Farm!  We are all a little sore, sun-kissed, and quite in-love with this place.  We have had a really good week.  We have worked side by side with many of the residents here at the farm and have been blessed to hear their stories of  starting a new life in Christ.  

Tuesday, we spent the day working in the dairy, staining stairs, building bridges, and wrangling  beef cattle!  Wednesday, we worked hard in the morning and then headed to the mountains.  We toured Estes Park and did a little shopping, then took a harrowing ride up the Trail Ridge Road and enjoyed some of God’s most amazing vistas!  

Thursday was spent repairing a tractor, bailing 45 tons of hay (seriously!) and wrangling some obstinate teenage cows.  There was also baby calf feeding, and wood chip laying.  We are working hard and enjoying our evening showers!

Tomorrow, we will be playing a wild kickball game with the residents here at the farm and then we will load the vans and begin our journey home!  We will be full of stories, so be ready to listen!

You don't wanna know what they're watching! (They're watching a cow being artificially inseminated.)

Hay!

No, you can't take the goat home!

Come on cow!
