2015 Year End Review: Farm

December 31, 2015

31 Dec

I started writing this yesterday, and well today we end 2015 on a very low note. We laid to rest our all time favorite cow today; Abiqua Acres Prestige Jesusita. I don’t really have more words than that right now, she definitely deserves a proper tribute. I’m just glad the sun is shining today, as […]

A Good Day

November 10, 2015

10 Nov

Sometimes, every once in a blue moon a perfectly ordinary day, is a good day. Nothing spectacular happened, nothing that was earth shattering good news, it just was. And in that just being, there was total peace and happiness for me. Add in a gorgeous sunset to end a  beautiful Fall day in Oregon and […]

Happy Cow Appreciation Day

July 16, 2015

That’s right, every day we appreciate and care for our hard working Ladies that produce nutritious milk. Without milk there would be […]

Lessons Taught by Cows

June 29, 2015

29 Jun

I struggled to pick a topic to write for this guest blog post. There are so many different directions I could go, being a wife, mother and dairy farmer. A friend asked me, “What do you want people to know about dairy farming?” I want people to know that while dairy farming is a business, […]

Hypothetical Kids

June 22, 2015

22 Jun

When Kris and I were deciding to buy the farm, we didn’t have any kids yet, but we did have a list of reasons why we wanted to raise our hypothetical kids on a farm. We were both raised on dairy farms, and we wanted that same kind of upbringing for our kids. We wanted […]

Always the real reel here. Feels hard to compete w Always the real reel here. Feels hard to compete with ai when the real reel is often not picture perfect. But that’s life with all its messy bits and pieces. So it will always be my real words here and the Ladies of this messy beautiful life.
This right here, the beautiful things. That’s why This right here, the beautiful things. That’s why we’ve fought so hard to hold onto this way of life. I truly wish it didn’t have to be so hard. Farmers aren’t in this way of life to get rich, but we certainly hate struggling even to make ends come close to meeting for our families. Not going to lie I’ve held onto to some guilt that we had a way out and can see a future for our farm again. So many wonderful farm families don’t have that choice. Breathing in the beautiful, letting go of the past and looking forward to bringing you more of our farm story in this crazy world of social media.
I’ve been quiet in this space. Mostly cause I coul I’ve been quiet in this space. Mostly cause I couldn’t find the words to describe the literal disaster strong holding dairy farm families in the Pacific Northwest. It’s gut wrenchingly heartbreaking. We went through the tough conversations of how we survive as a dairy farm. Because this right here, these generations of dedication to a breed and land. We couldn’t let go of. Dairy farming is in my blood, heart and soul and there were no answers of what else to do. So we made a choice and are now 10 months into being a certified organic farm and selling our milk to @organicvalley As a small family farm we finally feel like our farm has a chance at real future again.
When you’ve had the warmest January ever on record When you’ve had the warmest January ever on record and the grass starts growing…you turn the milk cows out to pasture! Looking like this dry spell should hold and they’ll get to enjoy some days on grass in the sunshine. Now we just wait to see if Winter ever does decide to show up!
