Sun shining through tall trees in the wooded landscape at Pasture Prime Acres in Gaylordsville, Connecticut.

A farm in the making.
A place worth tending.

Set in the woods of Gaylordsville, Connecticut— forest, bees, old stone walls, new beginnings, and whatever comes next.

What’s Happening Now

There is always something happening here. Some of it is planned. Some of it most definitely is not.

In the Apiary

Watching the hives, learning from the bees, and paying attention to what is—or isn’t—blooming around them.

In the Ground

Getting ready for garlic, future plantings, and whatever else we decide we absolutely need to grow.

Around the Farm

Building, fixing, clearing, changing plans, fixing what we just fixed, and generally keeping things interesting.

The Search That Only Worked in California

What started as a practical need turned into a custom-built surprise and the first structure on the farm.

Why the Roof Had to be Red

Some decisions involve careful research. Others begin with, “It’s a barn, babe.”

Welcome Home

Two dogs, one mama bear, and a reminder that we are very much not in charge here.

The Place

Forest and ponds. Old stone walls and new buildings. Bees, bears, mud, snow, ridiculous sunsets, and the small things you only notice when you spend enough time outside.
