You haven’t HERD much from me lately, but I have two little rascals who keep me pretty busy. In fact, I am basically a stay-at-home mom these days; just making special appearances at the farm. It’s a temporary gig and I plan to return full-time to the farm eventually. Currently, the twins and I take […]
My Top Tips for Sharing Your Farm Story
Why is important for farmers to be on social media? Here is the deal, it ain’t 1940 and most people aren’t getting their milk from their own cows or even their neighbor’s cows. These days, consumers are buying their food from the grocery store and are wondering where in the heck the product originated from. […]
Dairy Good Christmas Traditions
This past September, I became a mom…to TWINS! The husband and I are officially the parents to one little farm boy and one little farm girl. While I am unsure of what “sleep” is, we have never been happier. I have always been a fan of Christmas, but with two little ones in the house […]
Kids These Days
As a dairy farmer, I have had some experience interviewing employees-mostly high school students. Some of these teens have an ag background while others do not, but what many of them seem to have in common is the inability to make a good first impression. Now, I’m not saying every youngster I have interviewed lacks […]
What do Dairy Farmers do with all that Poop?
We all know that cows poop…a lot. Luckily, cow manure is not waste to farmers. In fact, it is very valuable. We capture the manure our cows produce, store it in a giant pit and, when the weather permits, reuse it as a natural fertilizer. It is a great soil nutrient and helps us to […]

We are Expanding Our Herd
Well, in case you haven’t HERD, we are expecting twins this November! Can you believe it? Our fertility journey wasn’t the easiest and I still cannot believe we are lucky enough to be having twins. What makes it even sweeter? We have one farm BOY and farm GIRL growing in there. Doesn’t get any better than […]
What’s in Your Glass?
Milk alternatives such as almond, soy and coconut milk seem to be rising in popularity these days. But, how do these products compare to the real deal; cow’s milk? Luckily, the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance gave me the opportunity to write about this very topic. Follow the link by clicking HERE and read how […]
Why Dairy Farmers Separate Cows & Calves
One of the most controversial topics I deal with as a dairy farmer and blogger is how and why farmers separate calf from cow shortly after birth. I get it; as humans, mothers, fathers, etc., we could never imagine being separated from our newborn. But, here’s the deal, cows aren’t humans. They are unpredictable animals […]
