The Pasture Gate

Here is the pasture gate that opens to an acre long pasture road on Little Utah Farm. ~ Deborah Moon Moen

When we first stepped foot onto what was to be Little Utah Farm, I noticed it had a long gate across what I imagined to be a pasture road. I was smitten with the romantic notion of a pasture road with a long gate that swung across so you could tie it to the garden fence to bring in the big bales of hay. Just the thought of actually driving along a road into the back of the property was wonderful to me.  When we moved in, the road was hard clay. When it rained, the clay got really soft and muddy. We sunk up to our ankles and hub caps. One of my first chores was pulling out a good 1,000 tumble weeds that grew all the way from the front to the back. 

Our corn field and tractor sign along our pasture road. ~ Deborah Moon Moen

Now as I walk down the pasture road I enjoy the golden light of morning shining on the corn field and this tractor sign. Paul and I first saw such a sign along a very rural Route 1002 on our way to Milford, UT. It was so simple yet the silhouetted picture on the sign told you everything you needed to know. Paul's tractor drives down this pasture road often. 


Improvements have been made. The road is now covered in gravel. Tall cottonwood trees line the road and in summer the garden is full of sunflowers and corn. There are hens in the coop, ducks in the pond, fresh eggs to gather, and llamas in the corral. I love how Little Utah Farm has grown into our dream farm.
