arlier this year when COVID-19 struck, we sadly had to close the farm to guests for a couple of months. It definitely wasn’t what we wanted, but it did give us the opportunity to work on a few projects around the farm that might otherwise have been pushed off until fall.

We have two bread recipes that we love to bake for guests, but since we can’t have any guests at the moment (and we are SAD!!), we thought we’d share these recipes for you at home.

At the end of October, we had the pleasure of hosting artist Jim Sanders and filmmaker Mellissa Berry here on the farm. Before they prepared to leave, they unveiled a beautiful piece of art -- an arch -- in the woods (near the Merlin Tree, for those who have hiked our trails before).

As in most things, change is inevitable and even more so on a farm. Or maybe it’s just that it is more obvious! We wish here to say goodbye and thank you to our departing farm managers, Justin and Teagan Moran; and hello and welcome to our arriving farm managers, Denny and Kate Rivera.

Earlier this month, Leaping Lamb Farm played host to the delightful Family Forest Fest, with a record number of people on the farm at one time!

Here's a glimpse at some of what's been happening around the farm, from Justin! We're all excited for this rain to let up and for the growing season to begin.

Justin and Teagan Moran arrived at our farm on November 1st from Ruby & Amber's Farm down in Cottage Grove. We can't wait for you to meet them! They spent the last two years, as part of the Rogue Farm Corps program, honing their skills at organic farming and learning to plow with horses.

We attempted a little holiday photo shoot in the barn this morning with a few of the farm animals. How did it go, you ask?

Everyone and everything around here just can't wait for spring, it seems. We've had a few arrivals that were earlier than we planned.
