After almost 3 years of New York City living, I decided to turn my world upside down. I recently moved to a farm in rural Pennsylvania to learn how to grow & raise food that is healthy for humans and the planet.
Farming was never part of my five-year plan. Or my ten-year plan. Or any plan for that matter. Though I had farming in my blood, I figured my family’s agricultural heritage would end with my grandparents. I was a sorority girl and captain of a nationally-ranked collegiate mock trial team. High heels and pearls were my daily uniform. I had a plan. It involved law school, a fancy office near Capitol Hill, and a closet full of Stuart Weitzmans.
But the best laid plans of mice and men… Life happened. Plans changed. I never made it to law school, but somehow found myself working at a law firm in NYC passing the days dreaming of wide open spaces. I’ve always been up for an adventure and eventually I decided to throw caution to the wind and to try to make those dreams a reality.
I’m glad you stopped by and hope you’ll join me on this crazy, awesome adventure they call “life.”
Feel free to drop me a note!
I love it!!!
Thanks, friend! I can’t believe how close it’s getting!
I’m excited for you, and can’t wait to hear about your adventures!
Glad to have you along for the adventure! And I’ll be looking to your blog for tips!
Hey I hope you don’t mind, but I nominated you for the “Inspiring Blogger” award, I think your site is great for those who are interested in taking up small scale farming!

Hi Little Miss Farm Girl,
Here’s Aunt Jean wishing you well in your new endeavor. You can’t miss becoming a successful farmer with your family heritage.
Hi Aunt Jean! Welcome to the blog. I sure hope you are right!
Welcome to the farm life! 🙂 I know you will love it! Good luck on your new journey!
Thanks! It’s been a great adventure thus far.
It’s my dream to own a farm one day! I look forward to learning with you. So excited I found your blog. 🙂
I’m glad you found it, too! Have you ever been out to Wyebrook? It’s not far from Philly and definitely worth the trip.
I haven’t but I really want to make a trip out soon and maybe write something up. It looks beautiful. 🙂
Are you in hill country or flat country? I’ve been to northern PA a lot and southern PA about 4 times. See any Amish? Me and my mom were going to hang out on a farm B&B in Lancaster county.
We are in the Piedmont area which is somewhere between hills and flat. It’s more gently sloping hills than real ones, but it certainly isn’t flat like Iowa. And, yes, the farm is smack dab in the middle of Amish country!
cool… I want to go to the Amish b&b by where I live in western ny
