Let’s Get to Pickin’ Corn || Landrace Corn for Feed, Grits & Cornbread || October 2025

Today we’re bringing y’all along for one of our favorite harvests of the year — our landrace field corn 🌽
Andy has been selecting and saving seed from this special line of dent corn for five years now. We mostly use it to feed our animals, but it also makes the best grits and cornbread you’ll ever taste.

This video is a true slice of homestead life: the whole family is out in the field hand picking every ear, just like folks did generations ago. There’s something special about slowing down and harvesting by hand, one ear at a time.

🧺 Come spend the day with us in the cornfield — it’s a long video, but if you love old-fashioned farm work, you’ll feel right at home.
