Welcome to "What Went Wrong on the Farm Today?" the daily(ish) chaos report from a real working farm where everything is beautiful… and also somehow always on fire (sometimes metaphorically, sometimes almost literally). Each episode is a quick, honest, and occasionally ridiculous recap of the curveballs that come with raising animals, growing food, and keeping a farm (and your sanity) running. Expect farm mishaps, hard lessons, tiny wins, and a whole lot of “how is this real life?” Today’s episode is brought to you by the thing every farm runs out of first… time. Between keeping the farm store open, answering messages, restocking freezers, and baking fresh sourdough, the “productive farm day” we planned turns into a chaotic game of whack-a-mole. We’re trying to do the chores, the maintenance, the animal care, the admin work, the marketing… and somehow still have enough energy left to be humans. Spoiler: we don’t. I’m running on fumes in this one, but we talk honestly about what it actually takes to keep the doors open, why the store is both a blessing and a bottleneck, and how sourdough (as much as we love it) has a way of hijacking the entire schedule. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing a million things and still behind, this episode is for you.

Expect farm mishaps, hard lessons, tiny wins, and a whole lot of “how is this real life?” Episode 3: The Dairy Barn That Never Was In this episode, I’m giving you the uncensored dairy update: we never got to build the dairy barn because last year’s construction projects went wildly over budget, so now I’m out here milking our cow outside in a mud pit like it’s 1847. That means wading through mud and manure to get to the stanchion, then hauling all the milking gear and milk uphill to the wash/pack building to clean everything and package it, because the farm doesn’t believe in “convenience,” only character development. If you’ve ever had a “this is not what I signed up for” day, welcome… you’re among friends.

Electrocuted!

Welcome to What Went Wrong on the Farm Today! — the daily(ish) chaos report from a real working farm where everything is beautiful… and also somehow always on fire (sometimes metaphorically, sometimes almost literally). Each episode is a quick, honest, and occasionally ridiculous recap of the curveballs that come with raising animals, growing food, and keeping a farm (and your sanity) running. Expect farm mishaps, hard lessons, tiny wins, and a whole lot of “how is this real life?” Episode 1: Electrocution Today’s farm adventure: installing a tankless water heater for our wash/pack building… and I got electrocuted in the process. Yep. I’m okay, but it was a very loud reminder that electricity does not negotiate. In this episode, I walk through what happened, what we think caused it, what I did immediately after, and what I’m doing differently from here on out so it doesn’t happen again. Important: I’m not an electrician and this episode isn’t instructional, it’s a farm story + a safety reminder. If you’re dealing with electrical issues, please get a qualified professional involved.
