The Transition from Hay to Fresh Grass

Switching from stored hay to fresh green pasture is one of the most challenging transitions we manage all year in milk production. It’s also one of the most exciting. After months of feeding dry forage through the winter, spring finally brings new grass, longer days, and that first stretch of bright green fields. The cows feel it. We feel it. Everything wakes back up. It’s a reminder of God’s design in creation: renewal, growth, and life coming forth again.

A Shift in the Vaccine Schedule

We see it every day in our pastures. Animals raised outdoors, on grass, allowed to move and grow naturally without constant interventions, are hardy and resilient. They aren’t dependent on routine shots or synthetic supports. Their immune systems develop the way they were designed to.

Wholesome Food the Way God Intended

For generations, families didn’t need charts, agencies, or experts to tell them how to eat. They ate what God provided through the land: meat, milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and traditional fats. Real food, close to home, prepared with care and shared around the table.

Growing Together: Community, Fellowship & Shared Tables

Dear Friends, As the seasons change and our farm continues to grow, I want to take a moment to thank God for His abundance throughout the years – and to thank you. Truly. Little Captain Creek Farm has never relied on big advertising or clever trends. Instead, we’ve grown because of you: families who value wholesome food, neighbors who share our values, and friends who trust in the work we do here. Every introduction, every kind word, every repeat order helps this farm thrive. More than that, it reminds us why we farm the way we do – with faith, care for the land, and a heart for nourishing families. Growth isn’t just numbers; it’s relationships. And those matter more than anything. 🤝 Growing Together With Our Community We’re looking ahead, and we want to grow, but not just bigger. We want to grow the right way. That means staying rooted in our faith, honest farming practices, and our commitment to bringing you real, wholesome food. And here’s the most important part: you are a part of that growth. We genuinely want your ideas. Do you know a group or gathering that would value fresh, farm-raised food and shared values?

Together, we can strengthen community around wholesome, God-honoring food and family connection. đź’¬ Join the Conversation Reply directly to this email, contact us through our website, or call the farm at 240-288-2010.

Thank you for being part of this farm family. With your support, guidance, and creativity, the best is yet to come.

Why We Process On-Farm

At Little Captain Creek Farm, we believe how an animal is treated, from birth to harvest, matters deeply. Processing is not something we rush past or hide from. It is an important part of farming, and we believe it should be done with care, respect, legality, and transparency. We choose on-farm processing whenever possible because it aligns with our responsibility as stewards of God’s creation.

Our New Years Resolution & Looking Ahead

As we step into a new year, we want to begin with a simple and heartfelt thank you, to both customers and to God, who blesses us with another year. We are grateful for each of you who have shared in our farm journey this past year. Thank you for trusting us with your table and for supporting the work we love to do. Your faith and encouragement keep our mission strong.

The Reason for the Season

As the year draws to a close, we find ourselves slowing down — taking a deep breath and remembering what truly matters. For our family, the Christmas season isn’t just about lights or gifts; it’s about celebrating the birth of Christ, the greatest gift we’ve ever received.

Are Chicken and Pork “Dirty Meat”?

You’ve probably heard it before — that chicken and pork aren’t as “clean” or “healthy” as beef. But the truth is, it’s not the animal that determines the quality of the meat — it’s how that animal is raised and fed.

Bringing the Farm to The Heart of DC

This past weekend, I, Farmer Steven, had the incredible opportunity to attend Feds for Freedom in Washington DC, an event focused on connecting people who care about personal freedom and self-reliance in our everyday lives. While the cause touches on many aspects of government oversight, my goal in participating was simple: to share a taste of farm life and sustainable practices with people who are curious about where their food comes from.
