This week marks 1 year on the farm 🐄🌱
And what a year it’s been! Plenty of highs, plenty of lows, and more challenges thrown at us than we could’ve imagined — but we’re still here, still fighting on, and still loving the life we’re building every day.
From welcoming new life into the herd, milking some cracking cows, and raising our two girls in the best environment we could wish for… it’s all been worth it ❤️
It’s a busy time of year again — eyes glued to the weather forecast waiting for a chance to get more silage in the clamp, show season just around the corner 🐄… and to top it all off, our own family “herd” is growing too, with a new little member arriving this summer ☀️👶
This first year has taught us a lot. We’ve made mistakes along the way, but that’s farming isn’t it? You learn, you adapt, and you go again.
With crippling milk prices, last summer’s drought causing silage shortages through winter, and rising costs across the board, there have definitely been days where it all felt pretty impossible. But somehow, through it all, we’ve survived… and we’re still standing.
So here’s to surviving year 1, and heading into year 2 — hopefully with kinder milk prices, kinder weather, and at least one week where nothing breaks 🤣🤞🏼🐄
