I will share this every year as a reminder of why we do what we do:
Hobby farms ARE farms.
We wake up early. We haul feed. We clean coops. We build, fix, tend, and care — every single day. We deal with heartbreak, with predators, with loss. And we keep showing up because the animals depend on us.
Maybe we’re not supplying grocery chains. Maybe we don’t have 500 acres or employees. But we’re still growing food, raising animals with care, and learning what it takes to be good stewards of the land.
Small doesn’t mean insignificant.
Backyard doesn’t mean uncommitted.
And hobby doesn’t mean it’s just for fun.
We do this because we love it- because we want to be more self sufficient- and because we love the animals in our care. Hobby farmers are building skills, feeding families, and passing down knowledge that matters.
If you’ve ever raised a flock, pulled your first harvest, or stayed up late to nurse a sick animal — you know it’s real work.
And if that’s not farming, I don’t know what is.
Copied and shared. Share if you agree! ❤️
