Renegade rumblings in your mailbox

Lately, we haven't written many blog posts, instead we send every month a behind-the-scenes newsletter to those who are interested in what is really happening on our farm on a daily basis and how we cope with the farmer life ourselves. We share the good and the bad - when life seems to give enough lemons for a lemonade truck and when we feel like we have the upper hand in the game ;) If you'd like to know what we are up to, then sign up for the newsletter.

PS! We don't send any sales information to this list.
