Big family life on a historic Pennsylvania farm. I am a wife, a mother, a homesteader, a dancer, a future midwife, a baker, a candlestick maker. Happy reading!

I wear many hats, and it’s not always distinguishable which one I am wearing at the time. These are my discoveries, trials, triumphs, and growing pains that I offer to you with a giant grain of organic pink Himalayan salt. I hope that you are able to take something away from my experiences even if it is only a smile knowing that you’re just a little more thankful for your own life after reading about mine.

Any parent knows the joys of keeping winter gear on squirmy littles, but may I suggest leveling up to keeping a coat on a c**t? It’s a fun new game where we wrestle on a blanket and then take bets on how quickly we find it abandoned in the pasture. Tons of fun for all.

Our newest addition to the farm is our gorgeous Hercules, a Dorking rooster to start down the road of our historic breeding program that we have been dreaming of for so long. We hope to keep these heritage breeds going to preserve both the history of domestic agriculture and the genetics of breeds that have withstood the test of time.

Just out mowing the grass.

Finally got the girls all sheared last weekend. It’s not a task I’m particularly proficient at yet, modern shearing. But I did manage to get complete fleeces this time! There are a few tricky spots I really need to practice my blows on, but overall I was better this year than I was last! I love their happy wagging tails when they’re all done!

Just a lamb in an Amazon box going for a Saturday drive, nothing to see here.

The glamorous look of sheep shearing day. I am no pro at it yet, and I didn’t even take video of the first attempts because it was so awkward and I was preoccupied with remembering the order of blows with electric clippers, I’ve only ever shorn with 18th/19th century implements so this was a different beast all together. It is very sweaty, dirty work, but it is satisfying to say the least. Notice the sheer amount of grime and lanolin coating my skin, yum! I have bags full of fresh wool now to play around with which is very exciting! I will have to post an updated photo on our flock with their new do’s.

Everyone makes a barefoot dash to the mailbox in the pouring rain at 23:15 to rescue their order of 1,500 ladybugs that were delivered that afternoon, right? I’m completely normal and there’s nothing to see here.
