Short on time, but still wanna look good while you try to beat the heat? I may be a farm girl who isn’t afraid to get down and dirty buuuuuut, I want to look good while doing it. (Well, at least a step up from the just-rolled-out-of-bed look). Being a dairy farmer that gets up […]

Has your newsfeed been filled with #milktruth posts? Maybe you have seen something in the newspaper or on television. For some reason, milk has been under attack.

Ugh. Not a good start to my week. Let’s start this story from the beginning… This past weekend I went back to my hometown to visit family and help a good friend of mine pick out her wedding gown. I was ecstatic early Saturday morning when I received a picture message from my husband informing […]
I have been blogging and sharing stories from my farm life for a little over a year now. I am a proud 5th generation dairy farmer and my goal is to share the truth about modern agriculture with dairy consumers. With so many misconceptions about the dairy industry, I find it extremely important to show […]
