Family Introductions

.I just realized that I haven't introduced our family very well. We have 4 children that all help out a lot on our mini farm. I say mini because its not nearly as large as my husband would like it to be. Trent (dad) is leasing 5 acres of land and would love to eventually buy lots more.

.Q is our oldest. He is very driven, and works hard to reach his goals. He just started college this year and his major is Professional Pilot. I keep telling Trent that it must be him that is old enough to have a son graduated from high school, 'cause I am defiantly not that old!

.Our second son is To, he is our peacemaker. He has lots of friends that are very important to him. He started the summer trying out for football, but decided that he would go back to his love, marching band. He has many great friends there and loves music. He just started at Herriman High School today. As a Junior he will be the 2nd class to graduate from HHS.

.Tc is our third son. Tc lives and breathes sports. He doesn't just play, he lives it! He played on a traveling baseball team this summer, Herriman Havoc, and is playing football this fall for Herriman. He is a freshman this year and is excited to be a part of the HHS new traditions.

.S is our baby girl. She started Middle School this year and is really excited about it. I kept asking her if she was nervous and she said no, just excited to see friends again. S keeps us all on our toes, and keeps us working together and having fun as a family.

.I am very pleased with our children and their willingness to work together with us in our chicken farming experience.

.Trent is our farming expert. As many of you know he has been to Polyface farms back east to train with Joel Salatin 2 different times. Trent first became acquainted with Joel and his farming methods during research on trying to eat healthy and natural farming. As he got to know more about him and his methods he scheduled to go visit, and then, went back again for a week long training. He not only loved it but has implemented his methods in our chicken and farming efforts.

.The kids are all in school and summer is coming to an end. I went to my first football game last weekend and loved it. I love baseball, but as the season ends it is great to start cheering from football stands.

.We hope you stay in touch with our blog to keep updated on our poultry processing, as well as getting to know our family and contributing recipe's to share.

Thanks!!
