Nothing on this farm got built alone. These are the people and businesses who showed up with equipment, expertise, and the patience to work with a man who measures things in “about yay big.” When we say support local — these are the locals.
Devore Forestry Mulching — Bloomingdale, Ohio. Dale Devore is a core contributor to nearly everything level on this property: the round pen pad, the barn pad, the land bridge to our pasture, and the stump grinding that saved me from a decade of fighting roots. He has also rescued a drunken chicken coop, cleared a riding pen, and starred in half the best stories in the archive. 10/10 nice guy. Honest prices. No haggling, no gimmicks.

This wall has room. It intends to grow.
Become a friend of the farm
If you’re a local business, tradesperson, or brand that wants in on this beautiful mess, here’s what the wall comes with: a permanent spot on this page, genuine shoutouts in posts read by tens of thousands of people who trust us precisely because we don’t shill, and the enduring gratitude of a legal department that bills in crackers.
We’re happy to work out work trades and sponsorships — gravel, hay, lumber, fencing, services, feed, creative arrangements of every kind. Cash is fine. Skid steers are finer. Tell us what you do and what you need, and let’s make something weird and mutually beneficial.
🐐 Name an Animal — $500
Here’s an offer with absolutely no shame in its game: $500 names one of our animals. Your name. Your kid’s name. Your late grandpa’s name. Your business’s name — we are completely serious. Sheetz, if you’re reading this, there is a baby chicken here who would wear the name “Shweetz” with honor. Rural King — a baby goat named R. King is sitting in a pasture right now, unnamed, waiting for destiny. Tractor Supply, you already take enough of our money that you basically own a goat anyway. Let’s make it official.
Here’s what the name gets you. This is not a certificate that goes in a drawer. Our animals are content machines. The name you choose appears in every post, story, photo caption, and disaster report that animal stars in — on a page followed by tens of thousands of people — plus the Penpal letters, the website, and any future books. When “R. King the goat ate my tax documents” goes viral, that’s your name doing the touring. Animals work here for years. That is years of PR for the price of one boosted post, delivered by a spokesperson who works for feed and has never once had a scandal.
The fine print, read aloud: Management (Mariah) holds absolute veto power — she has used it before and enjoys it. Nothing crude, nothing cruel; this is a family farm with a family audience. Chickens and small critters run $500 flat. Goats, horses, and future marquee residents — talk to us; they have agents now. Every naming comes with an official announcement post, a birth-certificate-style portrait of your animal, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing a living creature in Ohio answers to your decision.
