As I have begun to sell more eggs I decided that it would be a good idea to include an insert with each dozen I sell. Doing this allows me to tell a little piece of the story of agriculture with each carton of eggs that I sell. Because we are blessed to have several… Continue reading Egg Carton Inserts
Livestock in the Christmas Story
One of the things we are very proud of at Angel Family Farms is our deep faith in God and the belief that his son, Jesus Christ, died so that we could be forgiven for our sins simply by believing in him and asking for forgiveness.

Chickens were an absolute never. Well, okay maybe a couple meat chickens, once. Just to say I did. But no more. Poor little… Continue reading A Lesson from Chickens

The Midnight Call
My apologies for the brief hiatus of posts. Our wedding and honeymoon were a dream come true and now J and I have dived full force into our lives together. He officially started work as a mixed animal veterinarian the week after we got back from Aruba. So far, I think he has had some… Continue reading The Midnight Call
