Cross Timbers Dispatch

The weekly field note from our Cleburne farm.

We are building a small working farm in public — sheep, pigs, chickens, garden beds, fence projects, animal shares, and the business lessons we are learning the hard way.

If you are homesteading with a day job, trying to figure out direct-to-customer farm sales, or just want to follow what is happening at Cross Timbers, this is the place.
