Spring - New Life on the Farm

Spring is in full swing on the farm, and with it comes the arrival of new life. The first lambs have made their way into the world, their wobbly legs and soft cries filling the barn with the unmistakable sound of the season. Each birth is a small triumph, a reminder of the delicate balance of care, patience, and sheer will that comes with lambing season.

Not far from the lambing pens, a new batch of baby chicks has arrived, peeping their way into the rhythm of farm life. Tiny, fragile, and full of promise, they scratch at their brooder as if testing their own independence already. They remind us that even the smallest creatures play a role in the cycle of the farm.

Spring is a season of transition, and while we prepare for the summer ahead—checking fences, planning pasture rotations, and readying the garden—we also remind ourselves to hold space for where we are now. There’s a tendency to rush forward, to plan for what’s next, but spring is fleeting, and the beauty of new life deserves our attention.

For now, we’ll soak in these moments—the soft wool of a newborn lamb, the bright eyes of a newly hatched chick, the golden glimmer of bees at work. Because this season, like all seasons, will pass, and it’s in the small, quiet moments that the heart of farm life truly lives.
