Fifteen years in, and somehow we still genuinely enjoy the day-to-day work of running this farm together. Which, considering how much of that “day-to-day work” involves manure, broken equipment, escaped animals, and things not going according to plan, feels like a pretty solid accomplishment. 😂
When we started Copicut Farms, neither of us could have imagined all the jobs we’d take on along the way. We’ve raised animals, built fences, fixed equipment, processed chickens, packed orders, hauled feed, worked farmers markets, made plenty of mistakes, and become reasonably competent at an alarming number of things we were never actually trained to do.
And after 15 years, some of our favorite days are still the ordinary ones.
Checking animals together. Moving a fence. Fixing whatever decided to break that morning. Talking through the day’s plan over coffee and then immediately changing that plan because…farm. Finishing a project we’ve been picking away at for weeks. Standing in a pasture at the end of a long day and realizing that, little by little, we built this place together.
Running a farm as a husband-and-wife team certainly isn’t always easy. There are long days, an endless list of things that need attention, and plenty of conversations that begin with, “Do you have a minute?” and somehow end three hours later covered in grease.
But there’s something pretty special about sharing the work, solving problems side by side, and still enjoying each other’s company after all these years.
Fifteen years later, we’re still learning, still building, still laughing, still fixing things we swore we just fixed—and, most importantly, still really happy to be doing it together. ❤️
