Worth the Wait Discussion

Here at Worth the Wait Farm, we love the old saying, “April showers bring May flowers.”  It’s a comforting thought—nature’s promise that all those rainy spring days will eventually lead to blooming fields, bursting gardens, and lush greenery. But what happens when May decides to take April’s job a little too seriously and delivers a week of showers?

Well, friends, we have an answer. A week of May showers brings mud—so much mud.  The kind that clings to boots, creates unexpected slip-and-slide moments, and ensures that every farm chore requires at least one extra change of clothes. It brings pigs with entirely new career aspirations, as Muddy McSnout and the gang have officially switched from agriculture to competitive mud wrestling. Chickens, usually opinionated and vocal, have been left questioning their life choices, quietly contemplating whether ducks had the right idea all along. Meanwhile, the potatoes remain buried, blissfully unaware of the c…

Well, that’s it. Today we wrapped up the last of the animals for the year here at Worth the Wait Farm. The turkeys had their turn, and now they’re all processed, packaged, and cooling down, ready to head out the door.

These birds are destined for Thanksgiving tables, and they’ll be waiting for pickup this Sunday afternoon at the farm. That gives folks plenty of time to get them home, brined, and ready for the big meal.

There’s a certain relief that comes with finishing the season. Processing isn’t glamorous work, but it’s honest work. We raise these animals with care, and when the time comes, we do right by them. Sending them off to feed families feels like closing the loop.

So if you’re picking up a turkey this weekend, know it’s the last bird of the year, raised on pasture and finished with respect. We’re grateful for your…

Well folks, we have plucked our last cluck for the year.

The final batch of Jumbo Cornish Cross has ridden off the pasture and made their way into the freezer, officially marking the end of chicken processing season. They were raised on fresh grass, with non-GMO, soy-free feed, and just enough sass to keep things interesting.

This last round was parted out into 59 pounds of skinless, boneless breasts (aka the crowd pleasers), 21.9 pounds of drumsticks (perfect for backyard BBQ dreams), 28.5 pounds of thighs (rich, juicy, and always underrated), 14.1 pounds of wings (split into drumettes and flats for fairness), and 7.2 pounds of ground chicken (because sometimes you just want a burger).

That is 130.7 pounds of pasture-raised goodness, ready to fuel soups, stir-fries, and spontaneous dinner parties until next season rolls around.

A New Hope: The Transformative Power of CAR T-Cell Therapy in the U.S.

The U.S. healthcare system stands at the global forefront of an extraordinary medical revolution: the rise of CAR T-cell therapy. This groundbreaking form of immunotherapy, which re-engineers a patient's own immune cells to seek out and destroy cancer, is no longer a futuristic concept. It's a rapidly expanding reality, offering a beacon of hope for patients with specific blood cancers who have run out of other treatment options.

The U.S. is the dominant force in the global CAR T-cell therapy market, driven by a combination of factors: an advanced regulatory framework, significant investment in research and development, and a sophisticated healthcare infrastructure. The market, already valued in the billions of dollars, is projected to experience explosive growth in the coming decade.

What is CAR T-Cell Therapy?

CAR T-cell therapy, short for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy, is a highly personalized and complex treatment. The process is a multi-step journey:

1. Collection: A patient's T-cells (a type of…

After days of carefully monitoring their antics inside the barn, today was moving day for the most mischievous residents of Worth the Wait Farm: Muddy McSnout, Hogatha Christie, Bacon Bits, and Porkchop Houdini.  These four pint-sized rascals, each with their own distinct talent for trouble, were finally ready to relocate to their new field—a spacious area where they could dig, root, and plot fresh chaos.

Armed with a sort board and unwavering optimism, the plan seemed simple: guide them gently down the path, let them explore their new home, and then watch them settle in with minimal fuss.

Spoiler alert: That did not happen.

625 Feet of Determination (and Stubbornness)

The journey started off well enough. Muddy McSnout led the way, thrilled at the opportunity to discover new puddles. Hogatha Christie was suspicious but willing to go along, probably analyzing escape routes along the way. Bacon Bits followed, running in unpredictable zigzags, making it cl…

Residents of Worthington and surrounding areas, rejoice! While egg prices across the country have been skyrocketing due to inflation, supply chain woes, and overly ambitious chickens demanding "better working conditions," our flock somehow missed the memo. Turns out, they didn't unionize—so their contract negotiations were limited to extra snacks and a cozy coop.

That means you can still get farm-fresh eggs for just $3 a dozen!  No price hikes, no corporate eggflation—just happy hens doing their thing, keeping breakfast affordable one egg at a time.

Come visit our roadside stand and grab your dozen (or two)! Because while other eggs may be breaking the budget, ours are still Worth the Wait.

Ah, springtime on the farm. The season of renewal, growth, and, most importantly—mud. Lots and lots of mud. If there's one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that no boot, no matter how sturdy, can withstand the pull of Worth the Wait Farm’s legendary spring mud pits. But this year, we’re ahead of the game. That’s right—we’ve officially declared war on the mud with our trusty UTV.

Gone are the days of stepping confidently onto what looks like solid ground only to end up one sock deep in disaster. Now, we cruise over the mud like royalty, safe from the treacherous puddles that lurk around every corner. Is it excessive? Maybe. Is it life-changing? Absolutely.

Of course, it's not all about mud dodging this season—spring is also delivering its annual dose of beauty and excitement. The flowers are starting to wake up and stretch toward the sun, and the greenhous…
