𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 🚜

Thought I’d use this opportunity to introduce you to the farmers behind your milk! We are Jason and Courtney Hensley, a husband and wife team running our 60 acre Grade A raw milk farm in the western plains of South Carolina.

🧑🏻‍🌾 Jason is the heart and sole of the farm operation and grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina. He is technically a third generation dairy farmer, however his dad sold out of the dairy when Jason was just 5 years old, so he had to learn to dairy from scratch and relied on the knowledge of other retired dairy farmers who were eager to teach him the ropes. He started our dairy in 2004 at 18 years old immediately after graduating high school, purchasing all the equipment by himself and slowly built the dairy up over the years. He is the hardest worker you will ever meet, sometimes working 20+ hour days to keep the farm running.

👩🏻‍🌾 I’m Courtney, and I help around the farm with all the milking, calf raising, social media, and jugging of the milk. I grew up in the suburbs of eastern North Carolina and cannot trace a stitch of farming back in my lineage. However, when I married into the dairy I absolutely fell in LOVE with it and have become so obsessed our “girls.” 🐄 I also love growing our own food and learning to preserve it. I’m also THE certified gate opener and spotlight holder for Jason. 😂 iykyk!

In 2019 we moved our dairy down here from Western North Carolina to South Carolina and we are absolutely in our “forever home.” In early 2021 we took a huge leap of faith and switched over from shipping our milk to selling SC certified Grade A raw milk straight to consumer. What a blessing that has been! We currently milk around 52 cows and have quite the mixed breed herd who are just the gentlest of giants. They truly are like family to us! We also have some of THE BEST customers, followers, friends and family who support us and for that we are eternally grateful.

Another huge shout out to all our fellow farmers who help to feed and clothe our communities. What an amazing industry to be a part of and we are so inspired to share this journey with some of the hardest working people out there!

So for those of you who are new to our journey on the farm, welcome! And to those who have been rooting for us for quite a while, we are so very grateful. Thank you for supporting small family farms like ours! ♥️

This is Dolly 💕

And yes, she’s named after the late “Queen of Country,” Mrs. Dolly Parton herself.

Like Mrs. Parton, Dolly is an icon around here. She was given the name due to being known for having rather large udders after calving. 😂🙈 Her personality is larger than life with such a gentle soul, which makes her an excellent namesake.

The world lost a legend today, but we are honored to still carry her name here on the farm. ❤️‍🩹 You’ve got big shoes to fill Dolly!

Welcome to the farm Ruby & Lexi!

These two sweet girls are our newest additions to the farm and are doing surprisingly well despite being born in the middle of this heat wave. 🥵

Ruby (left) is a Guernsey/Jersey cross and Lexi (right) is a Guernsey/Holstein cross. It’s always such a sigh of relief when calving goes well and both mama and baby are healthy! Raising generations to fill our hillsides has been one of the most rewarding aspects of farming and in the midst of chaos it’s the nudge that gently reminds us: “KEEP GOING.” 💕

𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 🌾

This is the time of year when the w**ds are out of control and our arch nemesis pig w**d is growing what feels like over a foot a day. 😩 So instead of spraying our pastures, we choose to bush hog them off.

Here’s a few of the benefits of bush hogging w**ds off the pastures:

• 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙒𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨: Cutting down broadleaf w**ds, briars, and saplings before they go to seed disrupts their reproductive cycle. This prevents them from choking out desirable grasses like Fescue, Clover, and Bermuda.

• 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝘾𝙮𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨: Tall, dense vegetation creates a damp, shaded microclimate ideal for internal livestock parasites and worms. Mowing exposes the soil surface to sunlight and wind, drying out manure and killing off parasite larvae.

• 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩: Knocking back a thick, overgrown canopy allows sunlight to reach the lower-growing forage grass tillers. It also clears space so that fertilizing manure can reach the soil directly.

• 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙑𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙉𝙪𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙞𝙡: The heavy-duty blades mulch the cut vegetation on-site. As this chopped organic material decomposes, it adds moisture-retaining organic matter and nitrogen back into the topsoil.

So next time you grab a glass of Hensley Farms raw milk, just know a lot of care goes into not only our cows but also the land they graze on as well! 🌱🐄

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬

SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL FOR THE RAIN! 🙌🏼

We’ve been blessed that our summer hasn’t been the normal droughts we get this time of year. However, with the current temperatures reaching 100°, our cows have been so hot and uncomfortable and our crops were starting to roll up from the sun baking them.

…BUT GOD 🙌🏼

This evening rain is just what we’ve been praying for. The weather radars showed the storms dancing all around us but we remained the tiny dot in the middle with no rain. And yet God reminded us to put our faith in Him and not the radars.

The cows are now grazing the wet grass and the crops are coming back to life… and Jehovah Jirah has provided for our weary hearts yet again. 🌾

Today we lost an essential part of the farm. 💔

If you have been to the farm, you more than likely have had a visit from our old farm dog Roscoe. He never met a stranger and would hobble his way on over to see if you had a treat to give him.

For those of you who don’t know Roscoe’s story: He was a rescue that had been found as a puppy wandering with his his brother, and both puppies had their ears cut off (not cropped, cut straight off to the base). This was more than likely a “bait dog” situation. I won’t go into that because it turns my stomach and I will never be able to understand the mind of the monsters that unfortunately still walk among us.

And yet despite what he went through, he still loved so fiercely. He was such a happy dog who spent many years as my protector. He LOVED to run around the farm and for quite some time he even refused to come in the house because he was much more in his element wandering and watching over the farm. If there was a puddle, creek or lake, he was in it!

There is a giant sized hole in our hearts right now as we mourn his loss. We don’t always understand things this side of heaven, but we are so grateful for the time we got to share with him here on this earth and we celebrate the fact that he lived a long one.

We miss you so much Roscoe. Forever our “old man.” ❤️‍🩹

Last night we had a crazy storm blow in.

It was one of those summer storms that seems to almost pop up out of nowhere with really intense lightning, pouring rain and howling winds. The kind that tornadoes tend to spawn from. As you can see, some of the silage corn took a hit from the storm as a result. 😞

But… here’s the thing… the remaining corn also desperately needed the rain as it was quickly beginning to dry up from the intense sun/heat we’ve had recently. Part of the field may have been blown over, but the rest of it is thriving again after soaking in the much needed moisture!

And that my friends is what farming is like.

It’s continuously praying for rain, but also holding your breath when the winds blow it in.
It’s losing your favorite cow, then watching a new one be born.
It’s planting a seed that you’re never guaranteed to see grow.

Farming isn’t for the weak, but let me tell you… there is something so beautiful about being so dependent on God and watching Him show up every single time.

This corn will be salvaged and the remaining corn now has moisture to push it through until harvest. Is it frustrating? Sure. But we are still so blessed and God is still so good. 🙌🏼
