Welcome to Crazy Farm Living

A personal WELCOME to our Crazy Farm Living story!
(and yes, this is my first, very amateur, video….)
Thank you for joining us on this journey of farm revitalization!
I love a good story and I love to watch a good storyteller express themselves. It’s so intriguing to watch someone’s face come alive when they tell a story. It’s entertaining to see if they use their hands or their facial expressions to create a picture of their journey and to bring their story to life.
My Dad was a good storyteller. You could never tell if he was sharing a true story or a made up one and I am pretty confident that he embellished on most of his story details. (Do you know someone like that?) I guess that’s what made his stories so entertaining, not knowing what was real or make-believe.
When we decided to start Crazy Farm Living I really struggled with coming up with a purpose.
Why were we going to do this? What was the point?
Sometimes though… our ideas don’t have to have a money-making, life altering purpose. Sometimes they can just be about enjoying the journey and sharing the story.
So, Crazy Farm Living is intended to capture our story. It captures things that I would have wanted to put in a journal for our kids and it tells the story of our farm life and the progress we’re making.
Plus, I think this plan is WAY better than using a journal! This way our future grandkids and family get to know about the challenges and rewards of farming through our posts, videos and live action clips. Instead of only one person having the story in a book and gleaning from it, everyone does. In short, the blog and website, well it allows us to capture this journey and save it for our next generation of crazy farmers.
Please join us, learn with us, and grow with us as we create our family story about the transition from suburbanites to functional farmers. (Or maybe we’ll just end up as happier and more relaxed suburbanites. 🙂 )
