Late last night/early this morning. Farmer Charlie met Isaiah for the first time and and @codypuffer and @marycatherine.puffer14 came from from being stationed overseas for the last three years. Everyone is safely at the farm and we are happy to have our family with us again. Life is good as always and we are truly blessed. #grandpa #grandma #grandson #family (at Puffer Roske Farms)

This is the pigs getting settled in for the night. These guys have been given 15 gallons of hot water today. Given that it is extremely cold here we have a responsibility to make sure they stay warm. They are on a bed of 2.5 ft of straw and every night I go out and cover them in a foot of straw and this is the result. #pastured #pork #pasturedpork #pasturedpigs #sustainableag #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #ag #farming #agriculture #family #farm #iowafalls #central #iowa (at Puffer Roske Farms)

Charlie’s making nitrate-free bacon this evening. This particular pig created 40 lbs of beautiful pork belly. #sugar #salt #nitratefree #porkbelly #bacon #pastured #pork #pufferroskefarms #iowa #mybrothermadeit #cure (at Puffer Roske Farms)

The first and second walls are up and I have cut the top and bottom plates for most of the remaining walls. We are using reclaimed barn wood from the barn that used to be on the farm. The nice thing is it saves a ton money in the cost of the farm store. Life is good as always and we are blessed. #farm #farmer #knowyourfarmer #reuse #recycle #store #framing #sustainable #agriculture #agriculture #sustainableag #sustainablefarming #sustainableagriculture #iowafalls #hardincounty #iowa #central (at Puffer Roske Farms)

Here is the new 10 acre addition to the farm. So stoked to be expanding. Also thankful for the tremendous support from the local communities. This 10 acres will be 5 acres of sweetcorn, 2 acres of pumpkins, 1 acre of gourds, 1 acre of Indian corn and Indian popcorn, and 1 acre of watermelons, cantaloupe and honeydew. Life is good as always and we are blessed. #blessed #expansion #farm #farmer #10acres #family #pumpkins #gourds #indiancorn #indianpopcorn #sustainable #ag #agriculture #farming #watermelon #honeydew #cantaloupe #sustainablefarming #sustainableagriculture #muskmelon #melons #youpick #wepick #eatlocal #iowafalls #ackley #eldora #hardincounty #franklincounty #grateful #masoncity #clearlake #alden #knowyourfarmer (at Puffer Roske Farms)
