December 11, 2013

Another year……another year flown by……at pretty much the speed of light!!! A year whose theme should simply be: behind Ok please tell me I’m not the only one sitting here wondering how in the world it’s only 15 days till Christmas!

Today I Cried Over a Cow

December 3, 2013

3 Dec

Today I cried, ok honestly bawled my eyes out over a cow…….Yes, she was a favorite cow, Yes, farmers do have favorites, Yes, she will be greatly missed! These are the moments I wish every consumer could see. The raw, real, true, emotion of dairy farming. Every time a another “animal rights” video catches someone […]

As the Pasture Gate Closes

November 29, 2013

29 Nov

We’ve come to that point in the year where the Oregon weather has made the ground wet enough that it’s time for the Ladies to come off the pastures and into the barns for winter. We rotationally graze our herd for as many months out of the year as the weather allows. But once the […]

Christmas in the Country!

November 27, 2013

27 Nov

  I am so excited to be joining CountryLinked and ThisUnchartedRhoade for Christmas in the Country! They came up with such a fun idea!  Really looking forward to a wonderful event with fellow “aggie bloggers’!  I feel like my Holiday spirit (how in the world is Thanksgiving already here?!?) has totally been lacking all year […]

My Favorite Thing about Dairy Farming

November 27, 2013

27 Nov

I have several posts sitting in my blog that are waiting for a final edit before I publish them. Ok in all honesty there is over a months worth of drafts staring me in the face. And as I was writing all of them something more important kept nagging at the back of my mind. […]

A Two and a Half Year Old!

October 31, 2013

31 Oct

I know, I know I was promising some awesome farmie posts, but pregnancy hormones have been demanding nesting and reflection. I think every Mom has a little spell when they are getting ready for their second child that they really take a look at their first born. I will be honest that I am having […]

October 31, 2013

31 Oct

Mid-Week Meal

October 30, 2013

30 Oct

Bacon-Broccoli Alfredo Hmm wasn’t sure what to call this one as it’s kind of a throw together meal. Lots of my meals are like that, cause well ain’t nobody got time for otherwise round here and it helps keep me sane! Not sure I’ve mentioned before, but I am big on cooking extra meat on […]

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!
