Progress on the timber frame cabin is reaching an exciting new stage at Sheraton Park Farms!
We kick things off running errands into town for fuel and supplies before heading straight to the building site. Chuck and his brother Kurt get to work starting on the timber frame roof—using roofing material cut from logs milled right here on our farm!
From there, it's full speed ahead into daily farm operations:
- Checking the young chicks in the brooders, refilling feeders and waterers
- Unloading heavy hog feed by the truckload and checking on the pigs' rapid growth
- Joining Saundra in the mobile farm store as she stocks freezers and preps inventory for the upcoming farmers market
- Moving, feeding, and watering the meat chickens out on fresh pasture
To wrap up the day, Chuck sits down in the rocking chair by the shop for some honest reflection. He talks about why building a timber frame cabin from scratch is a slow, deliberate process—from milling your own lumber to coordinating busy schedules—and shares the deep personal satisfaction that comes from doing the hard work yourself side-by-side with family.

![Swapping Seeds & Stories With True Grit: Appalachian Ways - A Conversation Among Friends
Andy and Meagas Channel - @TrueGritAppalachianWays
What happens when two homesteading families get together to swap seeds and stories? Today, we’re heading into the mountains to visit our friends Andy and Meagan from True Grit: Appalachian Ways. Inside the Video:
This isnt just a visit; it’s an exchange of the Old Ways.
The Delivery: We’re bringing a spare chicken tractor up to the True Grit farm to help with their poultry expansion.
The Seed Swap: In a true old-fashioned trade, we’re swapping some of our sorghum seed for Andy’s field corn. Keeping these heritage varieties moving is the heartbeat of food independence.
The Tour: Andy and Meagan walk us through their beautiful property, showing us the progress on their gardens, orchards, and that impressive new barn.
The Conversation: No scripts, no agendas—just a genuine look at what homesteading and farming look like in the Appalachian tradition. We talk shop on gardening, infrastructure, and why community is the most important crop you can grow.
Check out True Grit: Appalachian Ways here: [Link to their Channel]
