The seasons are beginning to change here in Central Oregon giving us the first hints of fall.

Apparently some of our longtime hens are slowing down on egg production. Management calls this a production issue. I call it retirement.

There’s a rather classy new member of the golf cart family at Stormy Lane.

We are excited to share that the Sunnyside Up Community Exchange has officially been added to the Worldwide Sidewalk Joy Map.

Things are definitely getting interesting at Sunnyside Up on Stormy Lane.

Mom keeps telling everyone that farm life is peaceful. I’d like to officially report that this is only partially true.

One of the greatest surprises at Sunnyside Up has been discovering just how many talented people live in our community.

If someone had asked me a year ago what Sunnyside Up was, I probably would have smiled and said, “It’s our little honor-system farmstand.” Today, my answer is a little different. 

Every walk around the farm reminds us that nature works on its own perfect timetable. 

Recently, something really special happened at Sunnyside Up Farm. Two young boys from the neighborhood came to spend time at the farm.

Some of the most meaningful moments in life are not found in the fine china cabinet or tucked away in a box marked “special occasion.”

Big changes often receive the spotlight, but lasting personal growth is usually built through small, consistent actions.

Studies have shown that spending just 20 minutes outside in nature can significantly lower stress hormones and improve mood. 

Personal growth rarely starts with having all the answers. It begins with asking better questions.

Failure is often viewed as the opposite of success, but it is more accurately one of its greatest teachers.

Life will always present challenges that cannot be controlled. What can be controlled is the perspective we choose.
