I really thought farming was gonna be barefoot cottagecore and peaceful sunsets. ✨Like… whimsical with animals grazing, soft music, butterflies, homemade sourdough bread, and slow mornings.✨
Meanwhile reality is:
Absolute chaos. Someone’s crying, someone escaped, the chickens are screaming because they laid an egg, the cows are acting suspicious, the kids are drifting the RTV through puddles and into ditches, getting electrocuted by the fence, I almost set the whole yard on fire, bugs violating every personal boundary imaginable, spending 45 minutes fixing something just for another thing to break immediately and I’m just one inconvenience away from becoming a full-time tire repair technician. 😂
It’s dirty, loud, mildly unhinged, and held together by coffee and pure determination.
10/10 would still choose this life in every lifetime. 💕🚜
