My friend Krista The Farmer’s Wifee recently complied and shared Instagram posts from fellow dairy farmers to take on 5 common dairy myths. I think it’s safe to say that dairy farmers debunk dairy myths. Myth #1: There are Antibiotics in Milk Myth #2: Only Humans Drink Milk from another Species Myth #3: There is […]
Happy Cow Appreciation Day
There had been some discussion on exactly which day was cow appreciation day. The same talk was still circulating this year, so it’s time we set the record straight. Guess what? It’s EVERYDAY! That’s right, every day we appreciate and care for our hard working Ladies that produce nutritious milk. Without milk there would be […]

FarmHer Dilemma #16
FarmHer Dilemma #16: Clean clothes are an invitation for “accidents” to happen. Fairly certain the Ladies view them like a empty canvas. Behold and enjoy the art! The work of Picasso, truly!
Northwest Farmers Fighting Hunger
Today is not a Wordless Wednesday! Lately all the posts and conversations I have seen about food, seem to be GMO related. That topic can get everyone on every side very riled up and passionate. I am not advocating for either side, but simply asking you to put that passion somewhere it can be put […]
