Spruce Row Farm

Spruce Row Farm Spruce Row Farm is family owned and operated by the Peters family in Meadville, PA. We have a milking herd of 275 Jerseys and raise 220 heifers. Ask questions!

We are the Peters family in Meadville PA and we are a family of dairy farmers! We own 450 Jerseys cows and raise all of our own crops. Our parents, Jeff & Janet, are fourth generation farmers and have been on the farm for more than 30 years. Jess, graduated from PSU with an Animal Sciences degree and Cole graduated from Penn Tech with a degree in Diesel Mechanics and are both now home full-time. I

n 2012, Cole married Michelle (a certified Vet Assistant) and by the end of the year she was our full-time calf feeder. We've always thought we had a fun way of viewing our farming lifestyle and have been looking for a better way to share it with others! The average American has no direct contact with the people who grow and raise their food, and in a world with Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram we think that's crazy! So like our page and share it with your friends! Share stories, photos, and articles! We're hoping to show you all how much we care about our animals and each other while teaching you about this impossible business that we love! :)

Life lately has been…interesting.

Just a quick review of our month:

All the equipment is broken or stuck. 🤦‍♀️
Trees on fences and no power make for long hours. ⛈️
Carpet farming is the only kind of farming. 🧑‍🌾
Show calves are such divas. 👑
Only cool kids live here. 😎

Throw in some small medical emergencies, minor life changes, typical cow attitudes, and it’s a pretty good summation of our life lately.

Spring is the worst 👎🏻
Farming is hard. 😩
Family is forever. ❤️

Hows things in your neck of the woods? 😉

I’ve been gone for so long I’m shocked that any of you even remember me.

But in case you do…
And in case you’ve been going through something too…
You never have been and never will be alone.

One of the smartest, yet craziest things about our milk barn is that we have a gravity flow manure pit.

Most barns use pumps to move the manure from the barn to the pit, but we had enough fall to let it all flow naturally. It has its ups and downs.

Up: no mechanical equipment to maintain. We don’t have to remember to grease anything or get stuck fixing/replacing parts on weekends or holidays or in -20 degree weather (because that’s ALWAYS when things break).

Down: occasionally it gets plugged if the 💩 isn’t liquid enough (too much sawdust or solid manure, it happens more often in the summer when the alleyways dry out faster in hot weather)

But no fear! We have our ways.

So enjoy this slightly gross yet incredibly satisfying time lapse video of the manure finally sliding down the pipe. 😂😜

Hey guys. It’s been a while. But today’s good news prompted a post.

We bed most of our barns with sawdust. But we haven’t been able to get a load since November (anyone else having similar issue?) Things were getting messy.

So yesterday, when the semi pulled in, everyone gave a little cheer. And this morning, the few cows not laying in the freshly bedded stalls are eating. ❤️

It’s not just about having a comfy place to lay to make our cows happy, cows pump 40% more blood when they’re laying down. The more blood they pump, the more milk they make.

But also, it’s pretty freaking sweet to see your cows comfy and happy. Now if the temperature would just stay above 20 degrees their lives would be almost perfect. 😉
