I’m recently remarried. Farm wife second time over. Funny how something you thought you never would be again is something you were born to be. Truth lies in being with the right person or nothing makes sense.
I’m going on 42 this month, also owner of a restaurant for the past 14 years. My recent marriage has made me rethink the direction in which I see myself in the next 14. So long story short… I’ve decided to take a step back from the crazy restaurant business and pursue my re-invented passion for farming with a little bit of baking in between.
My first marriage lacked a lot of partnership I now have. More grain acreage with less companionship if you will. A “family” run farm ran by the men. Women needed…optional. It’s really hard to be in a family business with other siblings and in laws when no one sees eye to eye. Therefore the women were shunned to lunches, babies and carpooling when rides were needed to the next field. Insert restaurant and I became my own backbone.
Being with someone who loves, inspires and wants to be part of your world is a feeling I have never known. To have the whole package. I’m still learning to accept this as the question, “What?” comes into play almost every day when I catch him looking at me. Together we are building a farm that we both enjoy, love and are passionate about. These animals have filled the empty nest syndrome I have found myself in as my boys have all grown into young men with lives of their own. So in short, as our farm continues to grow as well as our restaurant and farm family, I will take you on our journey hoping someone relates to this blog.
