Redbird Willow Farm
“A Little Farm with a BIG PERSONALITY” in Calhoun County, Alabama
“IF YOU WANT TO HEAL, GO HELP SOMEONE”.
Someone said this to me two days after funeral services for our son. That was not the first time I’d heard that, but it certainly made a bigger impact than ever before.
We lost Justin in 2017 to suicide after a long battle with addiction. Bereaved, we began to seek ways to help others in an effort to hopefully help ourselves as well.
We attended and spoke at different events, and we hosted fundraisers for different charities. Whether it was suicide prevention, or advocating for addiction and mental health, nothing truly felt like the right fit for us to genuinely make a difference.
We were going through the motions, but actually not helping others or ourselves much in the process.
We had lost the most precious person in our lives and grappling to make sense of what we were supposed to do not only survive, but also to thrive after our son’s death.
We didn’t know when we started our little farm that it would actually help us restore hope and reclaim our faith.
We knew something was special when we found our first llama. She was a beautiful 7-year-old, pregnant llama named JUSTINE. We knew then we were on a special path and this was exactly what we were supposed to be doing.
Doing all the things that the farm requires daily, the feeling of Justin’s presence is very strong for us. Each day we find more peace, serenity and well-being. We truly believe animals have a sense of the struggles we all face, and the unconditional love they offer is one of the most healing experiences there is.
Our animals have caught millions of our tears and consoled us on our darkest days. They’ve put genuine smiles on our faces, and it’s our hope they do the same for you.
It is our privilege to share our healing experience with as many people as possible in Justin’s memory.
We hope you will join us to help experience this amazing love.

Bourbon vs. Whiskey: What’s the Difference?
Spoiler alert: They are not the same!
If you order whiskey at a bar, thinking you’ll get bourbon, well, maybe you will — but it’s not guaranteed. That’s like ordering fish at a restaurant and expecting salmon every time. There are many types of whiskey, and bourbon is just one of them (in other words, all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon).
While all whiskeys are made from a fermented mash of grains, bourbon is predominantly made from corn (more on that later). And within the category of bourbon, you have lots of producers to choose from. If you’re a bourbon lover looking for specific bottle recommendations to mix into classic cocktails or drink straight, we’ve got you! Check out our list of 20 best whiskey brands, which includes our favorite affordable bourbons, ryes, Scotches and more.
What is bourbon exactly?
Bourbon is a type of whiskey and, as with most spirits, there are rules to how it must be made. Bourbon must be produced in the U.S. and contain at least 51 percent corn in the mash bill (that’s distiller lingo for “mix of grains”); the rest can be other grains, such as rye, wheat and/or malted barley. It also must be aged in new, charred oak barrels, according to the Department of the Treasury Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau. When the bourbon goes in the barrel, it must be no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume or ABV) then bottled at a minimum of 80 proof (40% ABV). Why the discrepancy? Producers will often dilute the barrel-proof bourbon with water to make it more palatable straight out of the bottle.
Luckily, there are no rules for how to enjoy bourbon. You can drink it neat (without ice), on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like an Old-Fashioned or Manhattan. Heck, shoot it with a pickle brine chaser — you do you! Just like the Wild West saloons where bourbon was a staple, it’s no holds barred when it comes to this all-American spirit.
Discover the Timeless Elegance of Dusty Blue Interiors
After years of things veering on the warm side (read: lots of browns, beiges and camels), dusty blue interiors are once again gaining popularity in the world of home decor, and for good reason. This versatile shade of blue can add a touch of serenity and sophistication to any space.
One of the benefits of dusty blue is its calming effect – I simply can’t get enough. This muted shade of blue has a soothing quality that helps create a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere in any and every space. It makes it an ideal choice for bedrooms, bathrooms, and wherever relaxation and tranquility needs tk rein queen.
I’ve always been partial to dusty blue interiors as they work well with a wide range of colour schemes, from neutral palettes to bolder hues alike. I love that it pairs beautifully with soft greys, warm beiges, and crisp whites. And, as a cooler hue, it helps balance all of the warmth we’ve been seeing in abundance as of late, which I’m very much on board with. I’m loving seeing it pop up more frequently lately; here are a few great examples…
