December 6, 2013

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 […]

Morning Sickness in Cows?

May 24, 2013

24 May

Compelling new observations prove that cows may suffer some resemblance of the morning sickness that pregnant women experience……….. Ok pretty much joking about all this, but there is a story behind it! Meet Beatrice. She’s our Boss Cow or Lead Cow of the herd, pretty much meaning she’s in charge of all the Ladies. She […]

They’re not all happy endings…..

April 11, 2013

11 Apr

Jesusita~to say she’s a favorite would be an understatement! Never is life and death more evident then on the farm. When you become the caretaker of animals, you take on all responsibilities good and bad. In a way I feel it is a little like playing God and yet never is it more apparent that […]

Taking a deep breath…

March 4, 2013

4 Mar

Our wonderful small town joined the ranks of cities with a shooting story last week. You can view the whole story here, but we are all definitely thankful this situation wasn’t worse then it could have been. My mother-in-law works at the nursery directly across from the RV park and heard the first shot and […]

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!
