We know it’s Farm Store Friday—but today we’re making a little exception because we have a very special birthday to celebrate here at Buck Ridge 🎉

Ella is 8 years old today! 💕

We are so lucky to have her bright spirit, big heart, and joy around the farm. She brings so much life to Buck Ridge every single day, and today we’re celebrating her in a big way.

Happy Birthday, Ella—we hope your day is as fun and special as you are! 🎂🌿 #🎂🌿

Throw back Thursday!!

This barn used to house the heifers back in the day. When I first bought Buck Ridge, it was one of the very first projects we tackled—full of hard work, repairs, and a vision for what it could become again. It’s come a long way since then, and it holds a lot of history for us now.

Here are five strong reasons couples choose to book their wedding at Buck Ridge:

1. A true working farm backdrop
At Buck Ridge, your wedding isn’t staged—it’s set on a real integrated agricultural farm with rolling land, open skies, and Highland cattle in the distance. The scenery changes beautifully with the seasons, giving every wedding its own natural character.
2. Flexible indoor + outdoor spaces
Whether you’re dreaming of an open-air ceremony in the pasture or a cozy reception indoors, the property is designed to adapt. That flexibility is especially valuable in Vermont, where weather can shift quickly.
3. Authentic Vermont charm
Instead of a traditional banquet hall, you get a setting that feels grounded, rustic, and real. Guests experience the landscape, animals, and farm atmosphere that make Vermont weddings so memorable.
4. On-site photo opportunities everywhere
From wide fields and wooded edges to rustic farm structures and livestock views, couples don’t need to travel for portraits. Everything is already on-site, making the day smoother and more relaxed.
5. A memorable guest experience
Weddings at Buck Ridge feel different—in the best way. Guests often remember not just the ceremony, but the experience of being on a working farm, seeing Highland cattle, and feeling immersed in the land.

Buck Ridge is the kind of place where the setting does a lot of the storytelling for you—so couples can keep things simple, personal, and rooted in nature.

A fun fact about growing a vegetable garden in Vermont is that the short growing season actually makes plants grow more intensely and flavorfully.

Because Vermont has a relatively short frost-free window (often around late May to early October in many areas), gardeners don’t have time for slow-growing crops. That pressure encourages people to choose fast-maturing varieties and use techniques like raised beds, black plastic mulch, and early-season cold frames. The result? Vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce often develop more concentrated flavor because they’re pushed to grow quickly in rich summer soil and strong sunlight.

Another fun twist: many Vermont gardeners treat frost dates almost like holidays—there’s a big rush in spring to plant after the last frost, and a race in fall to harvest before the first hard freeze.

Highland cattle are known for being calm, hardy mothers—but they become very protective right after calving.

A key fact is that a Highland cow will separate herself from the herd when giving birth and keep her newborn calf hidden for the first few days. During this time, she is extremely alert and defensive, positioning herself between the calf and anything she perceives as a threat (including other cows, dogs, or people). If she feels her calf is in danger, she may lower her head, snort, paw the ground, or charge.

This protective behavior is strongest in the first 24–72 hours after birth, when the calf is still weak and scentless to predators. After that window, she gradually becomes less aggressive as the calf gains strength and begins to follow her more openly.

Highland cattle are also known for this unique combination: very gentle long-term temperament, but intense maternal instincts immediately after calving—one reason they’ve survived for centuries in harsh environments like the Scottish Highlands.

🐔 Throwback Thursday! 🐔

Who remembers when our chicken coop was located right near the ceremony site? Visitors could stop by the farm store and watch the chickens roaming around from the front of the property.

Don’t worry—we didn’t get rid of them! They’ve simply been relocated to the back of the farm while we work on exciting improvements, including a brand-new barn for our cows and chickens.

It’s amazing to look back and see how much Buck Ridge has grown over the years. We can’t wait to share what’s coming next!

Trick and Tips Tuesday

A simple trick that makes a big difference for cut flowers is re-cutting the stems under water before putting them in a vase. ✂️🌸

Here’s why it works: when stems are cut in the air, tiny air bubbles can get pulled into them and block water uptake. By trimming them underwater (even just for a few seconds), you help keep the “water highway” open so the flowers can drink properly.

A few other easy ways to help them last longer:

* Change the water every 1–2 days
* Keep them out of direct sun and heat
* Remove any leaves sitting below the water line
* Add flower food (or a tiny pinch of sugar + drop of bleach if you’re in a pinch)

Small steps like these can add several extra days of vase life, especially for blooms like your dahlias 🌸

🐮 Fun Highland Cow Fact 🐮

Highland cattle are known for their long lifespans compared to many other cattle breeds. On average, they can live around 15 to 20 years, and some even live longer when well cared for.

That means a Highland cow can be part of the farm family for a very long time, building personality, bonds, and plenty of memories along the way. 🤎
