Farm Girl Life

I LOVE living in the country!

I love the life of a 'farm girl'!

I love digging in the dirt, growing flowers, 

herbs, fruits and vegetables, raising chickens,

gathering eggs, milking goats and so much more!

I enjoy having my children and grandchildren along

side me during the day to day workings of my simple

farm life.

Now, when I say 'farm', I really mean 'farmette'.

Farmette is my word for a 'tiny' farm operation.

There is almost five acres of property here.

That's  a micro operation of a farm.

But, that's enough to keep me and hubby busy for sure!

I love growing herbs, flowers and vegetables.  

Our little 'farmette' is a lovely, peaceful sanctuary

to birds, bees, butterflies and people.

We really enjoy it when others come out

and enjoy the gardens and just 'relax'.

The gardens aren't perfectly 'landscaped'

or without weeds, but they sure are pretty.

I am a believer in using what you have available, 

so, when you visit you will see that I use just about anything 

as bordering, planters, fencing, trellises,  etc...

I really enjoy looking at perfectly landscaped gardens,

but that is not always affordable for most folks.

So, by using 'unique' items to landscape with, I have

a quaint, rustic look to all of my gardens.

As an herbalist, I really enjoy growing herbs

for teas and medicinals.

When visitors walk through the gardens,

I make a point to pick herbs to share for

smelling and tasting. A lot of folks do not really

get to experience with their senses the herbal botanicals.

So, next time you are visiting, take time to 

smell the herbs!

I am a firm believer that kids should

play outside, a lot.

The outdoors is a great 'teacher'.

A large portion of our gardens are fence

enclosed so that the grand-children can

enjoy the wonders of nature as they

play in the gardens.

They enjoy many hands-on experiences with bugs,

worms, plants, and DIRT!

There's nothing more beautiful than a 

dirty kid who has been digging in the dirt!

We also love it when visitors come and their 

children express their delight with our 

outdoor natural play spaces. 

  

We have always had some type of farm animal

here.  Our children and grand-children have

enjoyed chickens, goats, bunnies, dogs, and cats

here on the 'farm'.

It is fun for them to participate in the 'chores'

and care for the animals.

We will be getting goats very soon!  I love

dairy goats!  We will again have milk and cheese!

We enjoy it when others come out for 

farm visits to enjoy hanging out with the

animals.

 I offer workshops/classes here on the 'farmette'

about all things health and wellness.

We learn about herbs, spices, foods and

other healthy practices that we can incorporate 

into our daily lifestyle for a more vibrant life.

Over the years we have had many fabulous guest speakers at these

classes/workshops that have shared great information!

We always have a lot of fun with old friends and new

at these gatherings!
