Starting Out...

    My husband Daniel and I are currently living on the family sheep dairy farm. Still considered newlyweds we moved in with my parents to help our financial situation and help lift some of the work load that seemed to be growing each lambing season on my parents. Daniel and I have been married for two and a half years. We both grew up in a small town. It wasn't until a few months before our wedding that my family changed our complete way of living, moving from our log cabin home, packed everything up and moved forty minutes away. My parents bought a 132 acre farm, 6 dairy sheep from Vermont, and a double wide.
    Leaving our home that I grew up in was very difficult but I didn't expect to fall in love so easily with the life I was about to begin on the farm. The simple life! Living on the farm for a few months before the wedding was enough to get a taste of the life I've always longed for. That's how my husband and I knew that when hard times came we had to go back to the farm.
    We've had to learn so much the past 3 years about farming, shepherding, dairying, and just trying to learn how we can live off the farm. Still learning, but my folks have successfully became the first sheep dairy in Kentucky, producing Kentucky's first sheep cheese. And that's how this adventure began!
