They get a ride in our nifty calf cart, that makes moving them a breeze.  This is a funny looking calf! Little Farmer helps with the Vaccinations They also get their […]

Building my Agvocacy Arsenal with the AgChat Foundation

February 4, 2014

4 Feb

It was exactly this time last year that I was feeling incredibly excited about agvocacy and the role that my blog could play. After the release of Dodge’s 2013 Superbowl commercial, I felt even more energized to continue to reach out to the general public through my writing and social media. Well my energy this […]

Christmas in the Country

Don’t let my tardiness diminish the fun and excitement I had with this experience. A huge Thank you goes out to Jamie and Laurie for setting […]

Living the Present

January 16, 2014

16 Jan

In October I won the ticket lottery to attend a Jack Johnson concert. He is my absolute favorite and I never win anything, so I was beyond ecstatic. Me and three close friends shared the tickets, and embarked on a fun filled night in the big city (I don’t get out much!)   After a […]

Merry Christmas!

December 28, 2013

28 Dec

Sometimes your heart is so full it’s hard to put into words how you are feeling. This year I am feeling overly blessed! Sometimes it’s so easy to look at all the hard and difficult, stressful and consuming things in your life and lose sight of what really matters. When you let go of all […]

FarmHer Dilemmas

December 18, 2013

18 Dec

This morning I felt like I waddled through morning chores 38 weeks pregnant, and the real eye opener came when I realized I couldn’t squeeze through the people walk way in the parlor. Yes it was comical, luckily I didn’t get stuck! 😉 I realized that we as women face numerous “dilemmas” as farmers, things […]

Join me in raising a glass of the most nutritious superfood - Milk! 🥛 Cheers to all the amazing Dairy Farmers around the world who care for these amazing creatures that produce such a delicious product.

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!
