THE SENSUAL SPRING

At Dawn I walked outside and smelled the farm fields coming alive. The snow has evaporated, the ground is moist and the green in reaching for the sun.

Farm Field Fog

Low Lying Fog

Little Utah Farm does have a small alfalfa field. The other farms around us have big fields that collected lot's of moisture under the winter snow. The fog stretched out over the land like dry ice across a dramatic stage. I drove between two farms this morning and became apart of the ethereal vapors. "Grandma, I can't see a thing!" Ricky exclaimed. It was thick but I sit up higher than him and could see tsome of the asphalt road. Here are some pictures of the one day event. March 15, 2010.

Our Journey Home-Little Utah Farm

Deborah Moen 
of Little Utah Farm

We dreamed of living in the country some day.  Then came the time we began searching for a place to live that had enough land to keep our llamas and chickens, 4 seasons, wilderness, and farms.  Our journey began in 2005. Our vacations were filled with adventure and hope that somewhere somehow our home existed. We posted a Dream Board in the kitchen. The board hung on the wall and we gathered and posted pictures of all the things we desired in a home like  the four seasons, barns, animals, gardens and wild horses. Every time we passed that board our mind filled with the possibilities to come. We also wanted to begin practicing for our farm. We planted a 2 sq ft alfalfa field in the back yard just to get the feel of it and raised hens to learn about them and gather eggs. You can read about Raising Chickens in The City on this site just click the link.

Our travels lead to Oregon where we enjoyed camping along the Rogue River and salmon fishing. We searched in Northern California and on our anniversary week in June 2007 we planned a trip through Arizona and Utah where we found our Little Utah Farm. Everything fell into place with little effort only the fun we had on our vacations. Now the days mirror our initial love for the country, the old west and nature. Our little farm was a diamond in the rough. We planted trees and a garden, cleared the tumble weeds, built a shed and corral and pasture, marked out an alfalfa field and had a barn built. We now have a herd of llamas, a flock of hens and fresh eggs. We grow our own alfalfa and have lot's of room to play and live in. Believe in your dreams ! And along the way have fun and  "BE" the change you are wanting to create. You may find your dreams coming true.  

Thank you for visiting Little Utah Farm,

Until next time, 

Believe In Your Dreams 

They Do Come True !

A STORM AND MANY CALVES

I was fortunate to see this storm from beginning to end. They usually creep in during times I am sleeping or unaware. This morning our sun rose behind the mountains and there was blue sky above me. A storm rolled towards Cedar City like a giant tidal wave from the west. The green that reached for Spring was blanketed in white. The newborn calves lay at their mother's heels in the fields. The storm left as quickly as it came over the eastern range. The wildness here fascinates me.
