I recount my transformation from city life and law books to farm boots and dairy cows, highlighting the unexpected turns that led me to find contentment in rural living. Growing up with an idyllic view of farming, I initially pursued a law degree and dreamed of an exciting life in the city. However, meeting my husband, a farmer, changed my life's trajectory, leading me to embrace the unpredictable and rewarding world of dairy farming.
Join me as I reflect on my experiences, the challenges of balancing family and farm life, and the personal growth that comes from embracing change. I open up about the highs and lows of raising three young children while learning to run a farm, and how I found value and contentment in my new role as a farm wife and mother.
