Welcome
Welcome to my blog! My name is Susan. My husband, Kurt, and I have a dairy farm in Hennepin County, Minnesota, where we raise cows, crops, chickens, and kids (and barn cats, but not intentionally; they raise themselves...). We've been married thirteen years and have three children whom we homeschool: Lily (10), Tate (6), and Gemma (4). Thus, I wear many hats: wife, mother, farmer, teacher, bookkeeper, homemaker, driver of children, faithful Catholic, and now, blogger!
The conception of this blog stemmed from my desire to keep family and friends up-to-date with our life on the farm. The more I thought about starting the blog, the more I realized that we have a bit of a unique perspective where we live. We own and operate a real, live dairy farm, and depend on it for our livelihood, and yet we can also be in downtown Minneapolis in about twenty-five minutes. If you take a left out of our driveway and motor east for about 23 miles, you'll arrive at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins. We are at the junction of the urban, suburban, and country. A blog would give me the opportunity to give folks a peak into the life of farmers who are making a living in the suburbs.
And so, that will be the focus of my blog; our farm life, the ups and downs, the triumphs and struggles, the seasons and reasons. With kids, and homeschooling, and other fun tidbits thrown in there, too. So, I hope you enjoy, maybe learn a little something, smile once in a while, and invite others along for the ride.
God bless and best wishes.
