    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 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.

    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.

Expect farm mishaps, hard lessons, tiny wins, and a whole lot of “how is this real life?” Episode 2: Flickering Lights, Feather Piles, & Computer Problems We had issues with our solar system (yet again), found unalived chickens & a piglet, some computer & hardware issues, and more. Thankfully, we had some good things happen too!
