Broad Branch Farm

Broad Branch Farm is an organic family farm located in central Illinois near Wyoming, Illinois. Here we raise clean food - vegetables, eggs from pastured hens, grass fed grass finished beef, and pastured pigs. The farm is a busy place but we try to take an occasional break and share some of the amazing moments and hardships that come with our farming way of life.

The Farm In Blossom

As I walked home from the garden one day in May, as I approached our homestead, the sweet smell of spring began to waft through the air.  The farm was in blossom.  All the fruit trees, the lilacs, the redbuds, even the dandelions were in full glory. And all their perfumes blended together welcoming me home.  What a welcome home!  The big crabapple tree on the west side of the house was absolutely covered in bees and their busy buzzing grew louder as I walked up the driveway and passed under its branches.  So many things to do but I couldn't help but grab the camera and wander the farm capturing all those amazing blooms.
