Hello,


I live with my parents and siblings on a "mini ranch". I wanted to write a blog so people could learn about farm life and our family. Some of the things that I will be sharing will be the hard things about living on a farm, but most of it will be the good things that keep our family motivated to keep on farming. I hope that you will be able to learn from both. Some of my jobs around our mini farm are:

milking the goats & feeding the goat "kids"

feeding the horse and ponies their hay each evening

helping Mom with house chores

teaching my youngest brother, Calvin, violin


selling the goat milk & babies

watering the garden & other plants during the summer

weeding the Blueberry Patch

Some of the things that I enjoy doing during "free time" are:

reading

sewing

crocheting

taking hikes with my family

playing with the goat "kids"

My family consists of Mom and Dad, Jordan (myself) age 16, Corbin age 15, Kayla age 9, and Calvin age 8. We are in the process of adopting three children from Ethiopia.
