A Spring Farm Update from Seven Sons Farm

April 13, 2025

Bruce (the 6th son) here with a seasonal update...and one that I'm thrilled to be making because green grass and lots of life are arriving with SPRING.

Here's what's happening in Roanoke:

 

We have Chicks in the Brooder!

Thankfully, Spring weather seems to be in full swing which means in a matter of weeks we'll have these future boiler chickens out on pasture foraging for a good meal under the Indiana sunshine.

If you've been following along on our Instagram you've seen the hard work the farm guys have been putting in the last month to ready the brooder for these fury critters.
 

A BIG Spring Project kicks off

We're making some big changes around the farm so our visitors and on-farm store customers can get a better look at the cattle, hogs, laying hens and broilers. This is a big initiative that we kicked off with much enthusiasm (despite the crummy cloudy, wet weather!).

We got a number of fence posts placed and fencing is set to be installed soon.

Our vision for this part of the farm is to also include walking paths to make viewing the animals easier. Stay tuned for more progress updates!
 

Baaaah...it's Lamb season

Spring lamb season is tough to beat. While our flock is smaller this year, which means fewer of these curious, cute critters to enjoy...life sure is grand when you get to be in their presence. 

I can promise that the baby lambs are some of the kid's favorites.
 

Farm Tour Dates are coming soon

Make sure to stay tuned to our farm newsletter as we'll soon be announcing our Spring, Summer and Fall Farm Wagon Tour dates.

These events are in high demand and tickets will go fast. We look forward to hosting visitors soon and to see many light bulb moments ðŸ’¡ as they see regenerative farming in action.

Thanks for reading this on farm update and supporting our family farm.

Family Trip of a Lifetime (and a BIG Lesson Learned)

When I sit down to write these notes to you, I usually look for a quiet space away from the bustle of farm life. That’s not always easy with 45+ team members working across the farm and six wonderful kids filling every corner at home. Today, I’m writing from a picnic table outside the farmhouse where I grew up. From here, I can see our little store nestled in the front yard—a place full of memories that remind me how important family and traditions are in shaping who we become.

Our 5-year Vision: Built With You

I’m incredibly blessed to be surrounded by a family and team who don’t just work hard—they dream boldly, take action, and bring visions to life. Today, I want to share something deeply personal: a behind-the-scenes look at the next 5 years of big projects we hope to build here at Seven Sons. These are ideas that have stirred in our hearts for years—and now they’re taking shape. What follows isn’t just a list of plans. It’s a reflection of our commitment to you, to transparency, to community, and to the regenerative mission that brought us this far.
