Today’s job site...our new dining room!
With all the kids, critters and constant abuse of a farm floor, it’s real hard to beat the durability, ease of install and price of a vinyl plank floor. Looks like we’ll be eating our New Years Dinner in the new dining room!! #shawfloors #contraryfarmstead #diyordie

NEW EPISODE!!
10. Pulling Irons From The Fire...
Available on all podcast players.

Sometimes you gotta pull irons from the fire to focus on the flame. To focus on burning desires...like to be critterless for a winter:) Or to make good on promises you've made to your kids and to keep that good, good cornbread lovin comin hot out the oven! For real though, how many irons can a blacksmith tend well?

Suzy made a killer cast iron wood stove dinner!! H

Suzy made a killer cast iron wood stove dinner!! Ham, green beans and potatoes from the garden...perfect cornbread topped with our honey and a mighty fine cup of coffee. We’ve been hard at it working on the addition and dinner was such a nice reward. #heavenisaplaceonearth #contraryfarmstead #homegrowndinner #diyordie

The morning chorus from the tree tops...
The gentle pitter patter of a slow soaking rain on The leaves of a freshly planted tree...
The rich, vibrant fall colors...
Makes for a truly special Autumn Grand Finale...#naturesimagefarm #contraryfarmstead #mountainbanana #pawpaw #natureart

FORCE MULTIPLIER Its amazing how much a game changer a piece of equipment can be. The new RK37 is proving to be one of the smartest investments on the farmstead. I’ve saved an incredible amount of time and back labor today using the grapple to pull logs out and hold up in the air when cutting rounds. No more cutting half a round and using a log jack to roll the log over. I could go on and on but one things clear...this RK37 is an incredible force multiplier. #contraryfarmstead #forcemultiplier #ruralking #rk37 #homesteader #firewood #husqvarna

The leaves are falling all around...it’s time I was on my way... The bees are busy bringing in nectar from the beautiful goldenrod crop. After years of hiding the Sun Chokes have awoken and are stunning. Everything smells of fall and of change...#contraryfarmstead #fallequinox #mostwonderfultimeoftheyear

The help these days...
So very thankful for our family work force. When it’s time to GSD, everyone jumps in to help see the work thru. Suzy has been busy mowing on her new tractor and the kids have been shelling LOTS of beans. Jake is a rafter walkin fool and has been an amazing help getting the last of the roof framed in. This addition has been a labor of love. It hasn’t been easy but it’s been one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever done. #familyGSD #contraryfarmstead #childlaborlawsneednotapply

Enjoying a beautiful evening on the porch putting together my presentation for the upcoming Restoration Agriculture Workshop with Mark Shepard!! It’s a little surreal sitting hear seeing the bees fly by, hear the goats bell dinging as she grazes, hearing the locusts sizzle away in the trees over looking the garden and hearing Jake in the workshop earning money building bee frames.
Just a few short years ago we were at a place in our life looking to start over, from scratch...Yearning for a life immersed in Nature’s Image...
Can’t wait to share our journey, how we’ve made it work physically and financially and hope we can be a lighthouse just as so many have been to us.
There’s just a couple days left to sign up for the workshop, hope to see you there!

Making locally adapted queens is one way we work toward having a sustainable beeyard. Today we caught a new queen emerging from her cell. It’s always so fascinating to see the initial interaction between a new queen and her new workers. #naturesimagefarm #sustainablebeekeeping #makeyourownqueens #bees #beekeeping #savethebees
