BROKEN INN

Broken Inn is a series about the pieces that stay. The jackets thrown on before sunrise, the boots that have seen more miles than most maps, and the worn-in layers that carry years of memories, work, and adventure. Each episode follows real people whose lives shape what they wear, revealing the stories behind the clothing they reach for day after day. Broken Inn isn't about trends or perfect outfits. It's about the pieces that have earned their place, and the lives lived while wearing them.

From backyard projects to large-scale operations, fencing is one of the most important investments you can make for your property. Every successful fencing project starts with a solid plan.

CHICKEN

Chickens are one of the most enjoyable farm animals to raise and, fortunately, you don’t need much space to do just that. In fact, the popularity of urban/backyard chicken farming is now a movement, with owners of small flocks gaining the nutritional benefits of independently grown and farm-fresh eggs. Whether you have 40 acres at your disposal, or just a small yard in the city, our How To Raise Chickens section explains how to build a successful flock. Feel free to “scratch around.”

    Some people get dressed for the day ahead. Alysha and Nic Merenz get dressed for whatever  the farm decides the day is going to look like. 

    The sunlight streaming in on one morning might mean working through a list of projects outside.  Another sunrise might bring irrigation repairs, tools scattered across the property, and a hundred 
    little things that need doing before the day is over. Add a four-year-old to the mix, and each day is full of surprises.

    “I would describe myself as alternative boho blue collar,” she says.
