I found a little more adventure than I bargained for while becoming a self-taught first-generation organic farmer. Once a tenacious small-town girl who moved to the city to escape rural living, only to return to the country 15 years later to become what I had never anticipated: a farmer! The future I wanted was declared barren, so I birthed a new one.
A series of fantastical lessons and funny adventures led the way to my self-declaration of Farm Queen. Animal wifery is not for the faint of heart! To become a lady farmer, I underwent a metamorphosis, losing 100 lbs, a husband, my first farm, often my dignity and a favourite cow!
But gaining my independence, self-confidence, a huge variety of life skills, and a ferocious love for farming was worth the loss, the lessons and heartache. I now have the courage to live life on my terms, on my very own farm.
