The number of mommy blogs has exploded in the last few years and I think the farm mom blogs are just beginning to blow up! There are lots of women blogging about their homes, families & farm life. And while I have lots of them on my total blog list, I wanted to list my top 10 or so here!
- Dairy Goddess’s Blog — If you want to know about dairy farming from a great source, check out what Barbara’s been up to! She’s either out walking the barn taking care of Chica and others, making cheese or something fun!
- The Durrer Family – Our Life on a Real California Dairy Farm — I got lucky and Ellen connected with me through Facebook mutual friends! She’s got a great combination of stories and photos with young kids in central CA.
- FarmFresh Kelly lives in South Texas and posts about family, football & farming. (love the cotton photos especially Kelly!)
- Four Ransoms — A great farm mom blog! She’s also doing some neat things with photography.
- From My Front Porch — Jent her husband Chris and kids are enjoying life on the farm in Indiana. She writes about various things that happen — from sending hogs to market, to feeding horses and taking care of cows.
- Girl Meets Farm — simple enough title… and she writes post now and then.
- Growing a Home — Jake & Colleen in Chico, CA put together thoughts on their home, family and agriculture.
- Kim’s County Line — Kim puts her commentary and photos about life on a Kansas farm on her blog. She’s a farm wife who writes about farm life, photos, recipes and life in general. She said having checked out several of the blogs listed here, she truly appreciates the resource & would enjoy being added.
- Life’s a Highway… and Mine is Surrounded by Corn — I love the way Whitney describes herself ”I live with a camera around my neck and dog hair on my clothes. I normally have some sort of manure on my shoes, a GPS tacked to the windshield and my BlackBerry in hand.” Tells a lot about the topics she blogs on.
- Little Birdie Told Me — Kelsey does a great job of putting together things about what it’s like living in a new area as a newlywed.
- Ranch Wife 4 Life — Jecca Ostrander’s view from northwest Nebraska on the Box O Quarter Horse Ranch her family has.
- SweetHomeMinnesota – Emily’s blog started after ACFC10 about life with her young family on a dairy farm and working in health care. She rocks.
- The Dairy Mom — Dairy farming in northeast Ohio is a celebration of family for this dairy mom.
- Three kids & a Bunch of Pigs — I love what Heather Hill (aka @ProudPorkMom) does. Like lots of farm moms, she’s working full-time, raising kids and helping on the farm. So what does that leave her with? Time to blog? Probably not but she does an awesome job with it anyway!
- Vermillion Farms — Not sure how I’ve missed listing Rachel’s blog! She and her husband Jason farm in Colorado, and you can see from some of the posts she writes that her family raises pigs. She’s been working on a Farm Wife Project that is a reason to be really pumped!
- Walking The Off-Beaten Path — Lana does a great job capturing her family farm in daily stories and photos.
- Wag’n Tales – Val Wagner from ND blogging about life on a ND farm with her family of four sons.
