Hand-fed and happy. It doesn’t take long for these girls to come running when the treats come out.

Coop is coming together! Got some windows put in for better ventilation and light. Next step is painting it all white!

This is Willow, making herself right at home on our back deck. Clearly, she’s living her best life.

Goat play structure on the cheap, with Marley for scale. Pallets, cinder blocks, and a little imagination go a long way on the homestead!

We lost Zoomie today, Charlotte's favorite duckling and the first animal to pass on our farm.

Rest well, little one.

Sunshine, ducklings, and soft grass - this is what childhood on the Shunkstead looks like.

Every flock has one… our 'Special Chicken'. Sweet, social, and totally convinced she’s part human 😂

Max and Marley keeping a close eye on our garden prep. Every farm needs a project manager… or two.

Nothing says ‘weekend workout’ like pounding T-posts and claiming goat territory. Fence is up, pasture’s ready — bring on the bleats!

Meet Willow and Pine — our new backyard brush-clearing crew (with horns)! Already hard at work and stealing hearts.

Before & After: Mold Makeover

This barn door went from moldy mess to fresh and clean with some serious elbow grease and natural cleaners.

Next up: sealing and ventilation to keep it dry for good.

Clearing blackberry brambles and debris and found some old railroad spikes buried in the dirt — little reminders that every homestead has its own story.
