🙌 A Real-Life Testimony

Hi I am Sara, your friendly neighborhood customer service person at Little Captain Creek Farm. I was raised on the standard American diet. Meaning I ate lots of processed food, refined grains, and convenience meals with very little nutrient density. Before I ever became pregnant, I was already struggling with illness and tried to heal myself through vegan and vegetarian diets, but those actually left me even more depleted.

So, by the time I entered my first pregnancy, my body was already in a depleted state, and I believe that’s why I developed Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). I struggled through that pregnancy — and even my second — still believing the mainstream narrative that a plant-based diet was healing. Eventually, I found a different way.

That’s when I discovered the Weston A. Price Foundation and began changing my diet from plant-based to animal-based, traditional foods. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve been on a healing journey by learning more, rebuilding my body, and unlearning false beliefs about how we heal. Now, I’m pregnant with my third baby, and I do NOT have HG like I did in my first two pregnancies. Despite being 15 years older, my body is handling this pregnancy better because I am well nourished on a traditional, animal-based diet.

Two resources that changed everything for me were the Weston A. Price Foundation and Sally Fallon’s book The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care. Every body is different and every woman is different, but we can all make conscious decisions to buy from local farms and eat the way the Bible tells us to. For me, food freedom is part of God’s sovereignty.

If you’re on the fence about this lifestyle, take it one step at a time. Be willing to learn, and know that mistakes along the way are okay. The journey toward real food and local farms is worth it.

We’d also love to hear about your health journey! Add a comment below and share your testimony.

Baby Boom on the Farm

Baby Boom on the Farm

If you’ve ever stopped to chat with me out by the cow pasture, you know how much I love talking about Jerseys. I’d tell you right away that I am not just raising cows for milk — I’m raising them with the land in mind. My goal is to have a herd that fits our farm, not the other way around. That’s why I breed for shorter legs and smaller, more compact animals. A lighter cow is gentler on the ground, and over time that means stronger, healthier pastures. Healthier pastures, in turn, mean we can keep more cows on the same land without overworking the soil and still keep everything in balance the way it should be. Every time a calf is born here, I get this little spark in my eye because I know it’s one more step toward the Jersey herd I’ve been dreaming of for years. It’s not just about efficiency or milk yield, but about leaving the land better than I found it, so the next generation can keep farming it too. Most Frequently Asked Question…What Happens to Male Dairy Calves???Something that often surprises people about the dairy world is what happens to the male calves. Since they can’t produce milk, many farms see them as by-products. The outcome is usually heartbreaking: some are sold into the veal industry at just a few days old, while others are euthanized shortly after birth. It’s one of the hardest truths about modern dairying, and it’s a reality most people never hear about. At Little Captain Creek Farm, we believe every calf’s life matters. Our male calves are never discarded. Instead, we partner with another local farm that raises them for beef, giving them the chance to grow, and have a good life. This way, their lives are honored, and they are treated with respect from beginning to end. Looking ahead, our long-term dream is to keep that process right here at home by raising our male dairy calves ourselves for beef, so their entire story unfolds on the same land where they were born. It’s a vision rooted in dignity, stewardship, and doing right by the animals entrusted to our care. Future Plans – Breeding for Better Beef CalvesOne of the challenges we face right now is with our Jersey boys. As much as we love them, pure Jersey male calves just aren’t ideal for beef. They take a long time to grow and mature, and on a small family farm like ours, that makes things pretty tricky to manage. Looking ahead, my plan is that we’ll be bringing in a new bull to cross with our Jersey dairy cows. This crossbreeding will give us sturdier male calves that are better suited for beef, while still keeping all the gentle Jersey traits we value so much. The hope is that in time, we’ll be able to keep those boys right here on the farm, raising them ourselves and adding them into our beef herd. It’s another step toward a more sustainable, full-circle approach, where every calf born here has a meaningful place in the bigger picture. A Little Farm FunWith so many calves arriving this season, the farm is buzzing with energy! There’s nothing quite like watching those little legs wobbly at first, then bounding around the pasture like they own the place. We may even have some to spare — seriously, if you’ve ever wanted a calf as a pet, reach out, we’ll have a few for sale! We might have a lucky one with your name on it. From all of us here at Little Captain Creek Farm, thank you for following along with our adventures. Your support means the world, and we can’t wait to share more stories, updates, and a peek into life here on the farm with you.

From Our Farm to Your Lunchbox

From Our Farm to Your Lunchbox

This time of year always sneaks up on us, doesn’t it? One minute the kids are chasing fireflies, and the next we’re packing backpacks and sharpening pencils. With school back in session, the question on every parent’s mind seems to be the same: “What do I pack for lunch?” Here at Little Captain Creek Farm, we know how important it is to send kids off with food that’s both nourishing and fun. After all, a good lunch can make all the difference in a school day. One of our favorite ways to do that is with bento box lunches. What’s a Bento Box? A bento box is a lunchbox with little compartments that keep foods separate, making meals fun and colorful for kids. Instead of one big sandwich, you can pack small portions of protein, veggies, fruit, raw dairy, and even a little treat. Bento boxes make it easy to balance nutrition and variety and when you add in farm-fresh ingredients like creamy cheese, rich yogurt, and hearty eggs from Little Captain Creek Farm, each lunch becomes a wholesome, special meal. To give you a hand on those busy mornings, we’ve put together a week’s worth of farm-fresh bento box ideas. Each one highlights simple, kid-friendly favorites — with a little help from our pasture.
