Thoughtful guidance for families considering farm life.
Real-life insights on planning, animal care, and building a farm responsibly — shared from lived experience.
A Thoughtful Approach to Farm Life
Farm life is a long-term commitment shaped by daily responsibility and thoughtful decisions.
Starting a farm or homestead isn’t just about animals or acreage. It’s about time, routines, responsibility, and long-term care.
At Bear Ridge Farm, we believe clarity should come before action. Farm life is built through small, thoughtful decisions made consistently over time — decisions that shape both people and animals. This space exists to support that kind of steady beginning.
Life at Bear Ridge Farm
Bear Ridge Farm is a working farm rooted in thoughtful growth, animal care, and intentional decision-making.
Life at Bear Ridge Farm is shaped by daily work, steady routines, and seasons of learning. While much of what we share comes from hands-on experience, I’m also grateful for the wisdom of family members who have farmed for generations and continue to guide me as the farm grows.
We believe no one builds a good farm alone. Mentorship, shared knowledge, and learning from others are essential to caring well for the land, the animals, and ourselves.
From the Farm
We share reflections and lessons learned as Bear Ridge Farm grows — including planning insights, seasonal observations, and considerations around animal care and sustainability.
These are real-time learnings shaped by daily experience, questions asked along the way, and guidance passed down through mentorship.
Recent topics include animal care decisions, infrastructure planning, and what it looks like to grow a farm responsibly over time.
