Day 1️⃣: Introduction #newyearsamehomestead Hi All! I'm not sure if I've ever done an introduction post 🤣 but I'm Rebeka and that's Josh in the picture. We LOVE Kunekune pigs 🐖 and have 24 permanent residents including 2 house pigs Ripley and Riley, some retired pigs, and then our breeding stock. We do an Airbnb farm tour called Cuddle with Kunekune Pigs and it's always a huge hit. I'm originally from Hawaii 🩴and always wanted a farm. My dad, Dennis, grew up on a farm in upstate NY and always wanted to retire back on the farm. In 2013 we had the opportunity to purchase 10 acres, with a nice house, plus a 4,000 SQ ft metal building with a 2 bedroom apartment built in. It was the perfect setup and Halbert Farm was brought to Texas. In 2016 I met Josh who grew up in Texas and never dreamed of having any animals besides maybe a dog. That quickly changed when he learned that going on a date with me meant working outside till the sun goes down. I work in the IT field 👨‍💻 from home and Josh does the farm full-time 👨‍🌾 now. I'm also in the Navy ⚓ Reserves. This is my 20th year and I'll retire in November! We have an Etsy shop with Kunekune Pig related merch. (link in bio) The goal is to have the farm be our sole source of income. We have 3 dachshunds, 2 Kangol Shepherds (livestock guardian dogs), 2 horses, 1 donkey, 7 zebu cows, turkeys, guineas, ducks, and chickens! I ride English and compete in the sport called eventing 🏇with my horse, Selma. Josh and I both figure skate⛸️, we started that hobby a year ago. Josh competes in body building 🏋️‍♂️ competitions and does personal training. We show the chickens and pigs, maybe one day the cows. I think that sums us up. ☺️ . . . . . . . #farmlifeisthebest #smallfarming #farmlifeforever #eventing #figureskating #supportfamilyfarms #smallfarmlife #farmingfamily #kunekunepigs #farmraised #farmlifeisthebestlife #farmsofinstagram #smallscalefarming #farmanimal #supportyourlocalfarmer #thankafarmer #animalfarm #farmingphotos #urbanhomestead #happychickens #lifeonthefarm #farmerslife #supportlocalfarmers #farmliving #smallfarm #farminglife #urbanfarming #homesteading #chickensofinstagram (at Halbert Farm Kunekune Pigs) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7yyHKLyYX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thankful To Be Human

It's a weird thing around here that happens at dinner tables. Thanksgiving got me thinking about it. Here in the deep south land of Duck Dynasty bullshit, you have what we call "saying grace". I'm sure most people know what that means, it's just the blessing over the food. But there's no grace in it.

I've heard a version of the same prayer said by almost all men (yes only men pray over food here) and it never changes. It's just comfortable ritual and it's one that minimizes all human effort in meal prep. They don't even know who they're thanking anymore.

I'm thankful that we don't rely on the god of the Southern Baptist.

Glad to just be human.

I feel both heartbroken and excited to end my vegan, plant based journey. To find out what drove me to change my eating habits, click the link in my bio. 🥺 ~•~ For me, I was choosing veganism for all the wrong reasons. Allowing myself to cheat “every now and then” and still referring to myself as vegan was the first red flag. I was never “vegan” and I couldn’t have even dared to call myself vegan. I was merely a girl enjoying plant based foods. I should have never put a label on myself. For all the details on my 2 years of “veganism”, read my most recent blog post. While there’s so much more I need to discuss, I figured maybe it will help get my point across. By no means is this an open invitation for criticism and I am no means trying to convince others to stop eating plant based. If it feels right to you, I am so unbelievably ecstatic for you and I thank you for your dedication. For me, something never really felt right. It never really felt like my own. I can easily say now that I am allowing myself to have to freedom to eat whatever I please. I feel myself again. I feel lighter and happier and WAY more energetic. But understand that my morals are still very much in place and I want nothing more than to stop animal cruelty. For me, it means eating more pasture raised, cage free, and organic meats. Knowing they lived happy and healthy lives gives me a more at peace conscious. ❤️ ~•~ Last night I marinaded free-range organic chicken tenders in lime juice, chili, evoo, maple syrup, garlic and salt. Grilled until charred, tossed in some fresh salt, pepper and parsley + made some bomb ass rice and bean burritos. Not to mention I was able to bond with @rashaadraymond and our roomate @b_lyness over some delicious food.🌯 ~•~ I apologize in advance to all the people who dedicate their lives to veganism. You’re doing an amazing service to this world and you are appreciated EVERY SINGLE DAY. 👏🏻 ~•~ #notvegan #notvegetarian #notpescatarian #notfruitarian #notlabelled #free #healthy #happy #strong #ethicalmeat #dowhatsbestforyou #nolongervegan #farmraised #chililime #noonesperfect #iamme https://www.instagram.com/p/B17HOEIJoOb/?igshid=1gl9g23j4waqz

This is why we raise our own chickens (see right side) 😆 and I would encourage you to do it if you can🐓🐓🐓 You can see the nutrition just in the colors, or lack of. Why do we have store-bought (on left)? Because our girls take a break this time of year 😩 #ranchlife #chickens #layers #layinghens #hens #eggs #farmraised #freerange #freerangechickens #realeggs #cleaneating #cleaneatingforlife #avocadotoastwithegg (at Sonoma Coast State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqF-XDDHEcC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rwxervzzlj5y

The best times here on the ranch! We even got to see a rattle snake when we pulled up the other day 😳. The girls learned so much about all the animals and even did some chores - playing and feeding them. #Arizona #Ranchlife #FarmRaised #FreshEggs #Wildlife #Desert #Valley #Animals #Cowgirls #Travel #RVlife @harvesthosts (at Sleeping Dog Horse RV Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5nFWoO3jP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
