I think Tom knows Thanksgiving is coming up… and he’s trying to retain his “Pardoned Turkey” status. He had been a resident of the Ranch for several years now.

The last couple weeks he has been very chatty, doing a lot of spits & drums while flaunting his feathers and showing me his best strut. He grew a full set of new tail feathers in September and they still look beautiful!

I love to stop to talk to Tom because he always listens and has a lot to say. We look forward to having him for many more years and finding him a new mate this next spring.

Just a couple reminders as we head into a weekend of photography at the Ranch:

🕰️ You can wait for your session time to start by the shop when tou walk onto our graveled area from the parking area.

🫶Our petting zoo areas are not open during Christmas like they are for our other events- please do not wander the Ranch as you are waiting.

❄️Please do not go beyond our roped off areas- there are flag banners in place for a reason

📸Please be mindful of the photographer booked before and after you- please do not start your session early or go over your booking time. We are scheduled pretty tightly this weekend.

🐕 Please keep dogs on leash at all times- we will have a pony out tomorrow and want to keep everyone calm

❤️If you move a prop or knock something over, please return it to its original position. Please do not allow kids to unwrap presents.

🐴 We will be taking pony photos in front of the stock trailer tomorrow (Saturday) but we will happily give right-of-way to our photographers who have reserved set time.

We were honored last as the Medical Lake Business of the Year last night at the West Plains Chamber of Commerce Best of the West Gala.

Six years ago, we started this farm with a dream—and more enthusiasm than we probably should have had. When everyone was getting into sour dough during the pandemic, we planted our first plot of a couple hundred pumpkins. We could not believe it when people showed up that first year in what is now our parking field. We were thrilled, and loved sharing our animals and the pumpkins we grew with our community.

We are now growing 10 acres of pumpkins and hosting multiple events a year, and have more animals than I can count. But the reason we won this award is because of our community, our amazing family, and awesome employees. Their support, encouragement, and willingness to roll up their sleeves with us has helped us grow more than we imagined.

We brought 2 of our 3 daughters with us to the ceremony because they have also worked hard and made sacrifices that have attributed to our success. We are very proud of them and the roles they have taken on on the Ranch. We hope that the things they learn on the Ranch serve them in their future careers and farms (if they choose).

Thank you to our community and employees who consistently show up, for believing in us, and for sticking with us through every muddy, chaotic, wonderful step as we have grown. I can’t wait to see what the next six years hold.
