Come See What Happens Between the Chores

Come through The Barndoor for everyday stories from T-Bone’s Place, where farmstead chores, detours, mishaps, small wins, failing forward, and real life all become part of the story. Pull up a chair and rummage around.

What is The Barndoor?

This is where we will give you updates every so often on the comings and goings around the Place… shenanigans can occur and they aren’t always brought on by the critters, sometimes the two-legged ones create just as much chaos around here as the four-legged ones. 🙄🤭

We have learned that for every little sprout WE think is a WIN, there is a BUG that is going to turn it into a lesson given a chance… We think we can share those with you here so that you don’t have to learn everything the hard way. Let us be YOUR guide through that process in the farmstead life.
