Our Farm
& family
My life revolves around the cherished values of farm life, cooking, fishing, and family. Born in Alabama and raised in Phoenix, I developed a deep-rooted affection for the land and its abundant offerings, although I was raised in Phoenix I worked on farms most of my childhood.
I love caring for the livestock, we just started raising mini goats and I adore them.
​
In the kitchen, I love being a culinary wizard, transforming the bounties from our farm into delectable feasts. my recipes are a blend of traditional family secrets with my own creative twists. From hearty stews to fresh-baked pies, every dish is infused with love and thoughtfulness. Sharing meals with her family and friends brings me immense joy, and I cherishes the moments of togetherness around the dining table.
​
Fishing is another passion that has woven itself into my life. With a well-worn fishing rod and a tackle box filled with memories, I ventures to nearby lakes and rivers, seeking the tranquility and thrill of the catch with the serenity of being surrounded by nature make fishing an experience I completely treasure.
But above all else, my heart belongs to my family. They are my anchor, my support, and my reason for being. I love our family gatherings, which are filled with laughter, storytelling, and down right fun. I takes pride in fostering close bonds with my children, grandchildren, and extended family. Whether it's cooking together in the kitchen, fishing trips, or simply spending quality time on the farm, I try to ensure that family remains the center of my life.
​
In my world, there is an unbreakable connection between farm life, cooking, fishing, and family. These passions interweave to form the tapestry of my life, creating a warm and welcoming environment. My love for these aspects of life shines brightly, and I try to inspiring others to appreciate the simple joys and meaningful connections that come from embracing nature, food, and loved ones.

Here are a few photo's of our farm life.
Candy is quite the card! Her mother had her about 3 months ago along with another twin (both are girls) and for some reason or another she wouldn't take Candy and tried to hurt her. The other one she took fine. So we (my husband Bart and I) took on bottle feeding this little one. When I went to make breakfast this morning, I noticed she wasn't pulling at my pant legs like normal, so when I looked around I couldn't stop laughing and had to call my husband into the kitchen. Funny, the things that happen in farm life.
Our babies are hatching! Right now we are incubating over 100 eggs, these were the first four born. We have a total of 9 right now. Totally excited! I will add a new pic when all of them are hatched!
