As part of the America 250 Celebration, Enlisted Roots is getting a spot on the FarmVetCo directory alongside other Farmer Veterans. This directory highlights veteran members who are serving their communities through farming and ranching. You'll find my military background, farming focus, and story there, plus a short intro video to meet the veterans behind the food, fiber, and stewardship that keeps America strong. Our friends from Alaska are also listed under Sunnyview Farm

We recently purchased a breeding pair of Katahdin sheep lambs and a ram to add to our growing flock. Katahdin are hair sheep as opposed to a wool breed, so they will shed their winter coat. They are a meat breed and have the potential to produce lambs twice a year. They also complement the grazing habits of the cows and goats, as they will graze on the shorter grass that the others typically miss. After watching and gaining confidence from the Shepherdess, we were ready to ju

We recently took an exciting step by adding Nigerian dwarf and Kiko bucks to our small farm. Our goal is to begin breeding goats and producing kids by next spring, along with starting to milk our freshened does. Nigerian dwarfs are known for their friendly nature, manageable size, and excellent milk production with high butterfat content. Kiko goats, on the other hand, are hardy, fast-growing, and have strong maternal instincts, making them ideal for meat production and breed

When our local butcher unexpectedly closed, we faced a tough challenge. We had three hogs growing fast and nearing finishing weight, but nowhere to take them for processing. Instead of letting the animals go to waste or scrambling for a distant butcher, we decided to take control and process the pigs ourselves. This decision led us on a steep learning curve, filled with preparation, hard work, and a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Building the Cold Room and Gathering Tools
