Homegrown – Farmer’s Wife: Navigating life as a farmer’s wife, homeschooling mom, small business owner, author, manager, and conservationist
Welcome to the farm life
Howdy and welcome to the farm life section of my blog! I’m thrilled for you to embark on this delightful journey alongside me, where we’ll delve into the multifaceted world of farming and the joys of being a farmer’s wife. In the heart of the bushveld of Zululand, I find myself immersed in the rhythms of farm life, from the early morning crow of the rooster to the tranquil hum of the river below our garden.
Growing up being a farmer’s daughter, studying agriculture at university and now a farmer’s wife, I am privileged to witness the magic of nature unfold before my very eyes, each day presenting new opportunities for discovery, growth, and connection. From tending to our cherished cows and harvesting the bounty of our flourishing garden and bee hives, to crafting homemade delights such as butter, and sourdough bread, every moment on the farm is infused with a sense of purpose, abundance, and gratitude.
At the heart of farm life lies a deep-seated appreciation for self-sufficiency and sustainability, values that resonate deeply with me as a farmer’s wife. Through gardening, foraging, and harvesting, we not only nourish our bodies but also cultivate a profound connection to the land and the rhythms of the seasons. It is my hope that through sharing our farming adventures, I can inspire and empower others to embrace the joys of self-reliance and stewardship of the land.
I invite you to join me on this enriching journey as we celebrate the beauty and abundance of farm life together. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer’s wife or simply curious about sustainable living and homesteading, this space is yours to explore, learn, and connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the land and all its riches. May this blog section serve as a source of inspiration, encouragement, and camaraderie as we navigate the joys and challenges of farm life, hand in hand.
With Warmth, Love and Gratitude,
Kayleigh
