Jack Frost…….

January 22, 2013

22 Jan

Well I can’t complain about our temperate winter weather in Oregon, especially when other parts of the country are experiencing -30 wind chill. (I have a hard time processing how cold that really is?!?) But we have had a couple weeks of freezing weather, with freezing fog that has made for some interesting frost! Quite […]

The Last Day of 2012

January 1, 2013

This morning we welcomed our last calf of the year, another heifer!!  This little one is such a go getter, she just wanted to eat me instead of get her picture taken!  She is looking for a J name, any good suggestions that correlate with the New Year? We were kind of thinking of Jubilee. […]

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!
