If you live on a small farm, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll be asked to do tours from time to time. People don't have personal connections to how their food is grown anymore, and lots of people don't have connections to animals either, not even pets....

A fun adventure for children is camping in the woods, but the next best thing is camping out in the backyard. While a safe place for the family to explore the basics of camping and do a “dry run” of a real camping adventure with children, it provides...

Hay to all who are feeling ignored. So sorry but our
attention has been focused elsewhere. The garden has been started and is also

Helping hold pigs One
of the reasons I started farming again was I wanted my kids to
experience the life I had as a child. I believe there are many reasons

giant factory farm...

All the kids are doing fine. The 14 cashmere kids are always getting into mischief. The 4 dairy kids are trying to, but they don't climb through the fence like the cashmeres do, so they can't get into much.
