Lola's eyes when she saw someone on the internet that said farming is not "amazing"! 😳

Long story short, someone said farming/homesteading lifestyle is amazing and someone else said it is everything but that and listed a plethora of things that mean it is not amazing. I have a screenshot of most of the post. The part I want everyone to see is the list of things that many farmers / homesteaders fight every single day. Then they went on to bash "hobby farmers" because they dOn'T rEaLlY kNoW 🫣

And I won't lie to you, this is meant to spark debate and discussions. Remember drama brings views often times.

So let's start with defining a farm, a hobby farm, and a homestead. These will be purely my interpretation of them and people can have other opinions.

In my eyes a farm sustains itself. A farm pays it's own bills, has it's own debt. A farmer can work their farm every hour of the day that they aren't taking care of the household.

A homestead is something one has for themselves. A homestead provides its occupants with the things they need to live more self sustainable or entirely self sustaining lifestyle (which is pretty rare, this day and age).

A hobby farm is what we are. A hobby farm may require as much or more work than a farm but it does not sustain itself yet. My husband and I both still have to work to pay our bills, the farm bills, all the bills.

Now that we got that covered the post I am referring to is totally right. Farming sucks. Especially depending on where you live. We have it fairly bad here in that it is not uncommon for us to have well below freezing temps, feet of snow, 100% humidity or 100 degrees. But I'll tell ya what, I dont want the parasite problems that come with florida weather and we have a longer growing season than some of our neighbors across the pond.

Farming on a level were you did not take over a farm, have existing fencing and structures, no farm infrastructure of any kind is the absolute hardest. Daddy didn't buy a new tractor 5 years ago that we use. Mommy didn't have fence put in on the property for us to use. The barn we have was built with our hands. We started from the ground up and things look a lot different than almost 7 years ago. And that accomplishment alone speaks for itself and this hobby farm.

So is farming (in any capacity) amazing? It has its days 😆 As a whole am I blessed to be able to live the way we live? YES. Are there days I threaten to quit and sell everything so I can nap all day, watch TV, sleep until 830am? YES. Does farming require a good mindset? 100% things go wrong so much, you have to be able to look passed it.

Farming is one of the hardest yet most fulfilling things I have ever done. We push ourselves everyday way more than the average person and that hurts physically, mentally, financially, all the "ally's".

But at the end of the day not everyone can do this wether it be for physical or financial reasons. So to say the least we are blessed to be as happily miserable as we can be.

What a blessing this is...

The average person can't look out their living room window and see this. Just a few cows hangin out and playing in this blistery cold.

Speaking of cold, is it almost spring yet? 😂

I think in the new year we are going to introduce everyone (within reason, I don't even name all our chickens). Want to meet everyone that lives on the Fisher Farm? Keep an eye out for posts over the next week or so!

We will finish these three canine employees, move onto the last 5, then move on to the livestock.

First up, is another one the whole neighborhood knows because he has been running a muck since before Angel was born. Trigger is a beagle and just turned 9 years old, I believe. We got him as a pup when we were living in town. His favorite activities are following his nose wherever it may take him, acting doctor on the Fisher Farm, and snuggling with any creature on this planet. The biggest pain and the biggest baby, he is.

Next is Clay, aka Clayford the resident cattle dog. He is the security detail and official untrained herding partner. My sister brought him home, along with his sister a little over 8 years ago. By the time I got home from work, Josh had named him Clay and the rest is history. Clay is the one to watch out for. He is a "heeler" and he does exactly that, bites and nips "heels". He loves me something fierce and I have a very deep connection with him. He seems to be slowing a little bit as he ages, but he is still a firecracker. His favorite activities are chasing anything that moves away from him (yes even flying birds), giving the evil eye to anyone he doesn't know, and barking at existent and nonexistent foes.

Last, but certainly not least, is Butch aka Butch Boy aka Butcherdoodle. Butch is a mutt and i am fairly confident he is beagle x weiner dog so we call him a Weagle. He and Trigger are the Beagle boys. At this point I wish I had Butch about 10 years sooner than I got him. We went to pick up a calf a little over a year ago and when we got there, there was a dog next to the calf in a wrapped up panel, carrying on a barking. I didn't see this but Josh tried to pet him and quiet him, but it didn't work. I finally reached out to pet him and he quieted. The gentleman asked if we wanted a dog too. I said NO, we already have 5 dogs (at the time we did have 5). When we went to leave with the calf this dog screamed like nothing I had ever heard from a dog before. He brought me to tears as we pulled away. Josh took one look at me, turned around and we went back and grabbed that dog. He now enjoys following me, waiting for me to come home, greeting me, and eating cow turds. I think he would be upset in a home without cow pies 😆

We have 5 other employees that are next. Can you guess who we will introduce next?

Before I introduce two of Fisher Farm's employees...

There is now a referral program, linked in with the loyalty program. Refer a friend and earn BIG points!

Here is two of our current employees. One looks scary but is a sissy and everyone in the neighborhood knows her by now. One looks like a guardian dog breed, but has enjoyed her fair share of "fresh" chicken 🙄

Angel is a German Shepherd and is actually a full sibling to our previous shepherd we had. Her favorite activities are chest scratches, running the neighborhood with Trigger, our beagle, and sitting on any piece of furniture she can when we allow 😆

Lady is a walmart special that we picked up in a walmart parking lot for free on the way to pick up Angel. We were told she is yellow lab x german shepherd which appears to be the case! Her favorite activities are sneaking f***l matter of all types, trying to one up her sister, Angel, and convincing Trigger to lick her face and ears.

They fight like real sisters, play like wrestlers, run like the fastest athletes and enjoy farm life as much as we do. I think they enjoy it here because there is an excess of poo, but whatever works!

Dam can do almost 2 full quarts per day milking. She is a friendly little girl. Had CDT and cocci preventative appropriately when she was younger.

Remember Magnolia aka Maggie, that was born this spring?

If anyone was wondering why I kept her...she is stunning and the biggest love bug ever! I said I was going to keep Sweet Pea's first girl, no matter what, but I really couldn't have asked for much more. Hopefully she takes after her momma in the milking department, that would be the cherry on top!

She has a partial sibling available as well!

First, I want to go over the fact that a lot of things for our business are done in posts here on facebook. If you are someone who does purchase from us, or wants to in the future please make sure you are checking our posts out before purchasing in case you missed something!

With that being said, I launched our loyalty program! Get points signing up, get points with every purchase, get points when you follow us on the three social media platforms we are on, get points on your birthday, then redeem them for $$$ off a purchase on our website. I am excited to get this going because those customers that continue ordering with us day after day, month after month, and for some it is turning into year after year, are the ones that are making this all possible. We appreciate your loyalty and want to continue to give back to you for that loyalty. This should show up the next time you make a purchase. If it doesn't give you confirmation of setting this up comment on this post so I can look into it!

A little before and after for the boys area. We have a solid foot here, more in some areas. The boys pen has about 18 inches. And for the most part they are over it. But i got down to solid ground so that they can see grass again, briefly 😆

Comment your snowy pictures!

Starting the year off with blueberry pancakes made from homemade pancake mix and some nice thick homegrown bacon!

I love this switch we are making because we have switched to Cane sugar, which is less refined than white sugar. Being able to choose what sugar and, possibly in the future, fresh milled flour is awesome.

The recipe I used was super simple and I put the ingredients to add to the mix on the outside of my jar.

Another switch that we are making, that you can see here is glass containers. We are moving away from plastic and will be storing everything in glass and using wood and metal utensils. That is a gradual change as it can be expensive!

We are hoping to have more pork to offer next year in other cuts other than sausage! Keep that in mind next summer/fall!

Comment "PANCAKE" if you would like the recipe I used for the pancake mix!

Erie’s “it’s snowing” doesn’t mean what it means everywhere else, because up there it’s less a weather update and more a warning label. In most places, “snowing” is a cute little dusting and maybe an inch or two that melts by lunch, but in Erie it’s Lake Erie flipping a switch and deciding your neighborhood is the main character in a lake-effect documentary. The forecast will casually drop “8–12 inches” like it’s no big deal, then a snow band sets up shop over your street and dumps a whole season’s worth before your coffee even cools down. One minute you’re thinking “I’ll shovel later,” and the next you’re staring at a drift like, dang, I guess I live here now. And the best part is how Erie can be getting absolutely hammered while everyone else in PA is posting photos of wet grass like “is winter canceled?” Around Erie, you don’t really ask if it’s snowing, you ask how aggressively the lake is choosing white out today.
