Well I definitely shouldn’t have complained last year about it feeling late to be out in April! We are finally out to pasture on a record late date of May 2nd. After a record breaking wet Winter and Spring, it really was still too wet to go out, but we just couldn’t wait any longer! […]
My Favorite Day of Spring
My favorite day of Spring is when we let the cows back out to pasture for the first time! Hands down, absolute, nothing compares to this day. Last year we were out so early that this year’s usual April let out seemed SO late. But we have had such a wet winter and spring that […]
What a Month!
Wow! Ever look back on a time and just think what a month! Remembering that time in your life will probably have a impact over the years to come. As I look back on the end of February and March I definitely had one of those moments. I was blessed with opportunity after opportunity and […]

Happy Earth Day
Farmers don’t just think about Earth Day once a year. For us Earth day is Everyday! That means taking care of the land that in turn takes care of us, our farm and our Ladies! My hope as a farmer is to leave the Earth better for future generations! Proud to part of the industry […]
Dairy Farmers visit the Capital
Democracy only succeeds with engaged citizens. I’m excited to have begun my journey with the Oregon Young Dairy Leaders class of 2015/16. The first session certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone as we headed to Oregons Captial. We spent the day behind the scenes and met with 12 representatives. Truly interesting to see […]
Cows on Pasture
My favorite day of the year has arrived! And a whole month earlier than last year. Today we let the Ladies back out onto the pasture! It is always so much fun to watch them return back outside to the lush green grass. After a little bit of fun and kicking up their heels they […]
First Birthday Pirate Party
My second baby is fast approaching his first birthday, and with the holidays in between (I started this post before Thanksgiving!) I figured I had better get with it on getting some planning done! While I got started on that I realized I never did share all the details on my oldest boys first birthday. […]
Capturing our Family in Photos
We just finished another amazing shoot tonight with the talented Heidi Helser Photograghy. I am so happy and excited to have found her and to have her capturing our family. When our first little farmer was born we captured pictures of him every 3 months. I loved having those pictures and seeing the changes as […]
