After months of planning, refining ideas, and working through details, our SARE proposal is officially submitted.
This project has been a long time coming. What started as conversations and rough notes slowly turned into a structured plan focused on improving land health, testing practical grazing methods, and sharing real results with other farmers. Submitting the proposal feels like a milestone on its own, regardless of the outcome.
Now comes the hardest part. Waiting.
Grant timelines move slowly, and there is nothing left to tweak or adjust at this point. The proposal is in their hands, and all we can do now is be patient while it is reviewed. If approved, it would allow us to move forward faster and more intentionally with the work we are already committed to doing here.
In the meantime, the farm does not pause. Animals still need care, weather still dictates the day’s work, and plans continue to take shape, with or without a grant. The proposal simply represents another step toward building something thoughtful, sustainable, and worth sharing.
So for now, we hurry up and wait.
We will share updates as we hear more.
