It’s lonelier than you think.

Pretty images aside, milking your own cow is a lonely road.

Not to say it’s not amazing. It is amazing. She’s amazing. Who you’ll become is amazing.

But you have to stick it out to get there. And it helps if she doesn’t d!e. Don’t laugh. It’s easier than you think.

At one time or another, you are going to find yourself alone with an animal that you don’t know how to help.

It’s our mission to arm you with tools, knowledge and community so that you never face that moment totally alone.

I’ve been milking cows alongside their calves on pasture for 17 years. Then I picked up the organic vet at an Acres USA conference and he really upped my game.

Don’t worry, we got married first. 😉

We now milk 60 Jerseys and we spent 9 years collecting case studies of real, live, actual problems you are likely to encounter whether you have one cow or 10.

Dr Karreman walks you through step-by-step what to do and how to prevent them in the first place. DrK is a 30-year practicing vet, and has authored three acclaimed books for pastured dairy farming.

You don’t have time, resources or heart to learn this all on your own. Ask me how I know. 😭

We want you to succeed, wildly. But first you have to get in the know. By the time you know you have a problem, the solution is too late.

We’ve put together a Manual for you that will get you through every common milk-cow problem (and, yes, it’s applicable to goats and sheep) and a whole bunch of uncommon dilemmas.

📌 If you’ve bought the cow, you need this.

📌 If you’re going to buy the cow, you need this.

📌 If you are wondering if a cow is for you, this is the best possible investment you can make in discovery.

📌 If you’ve been up a 💩 creek without a paddle with a cow, chances are you’ve already got this Manual— or are about to in an about 30 seconds. WYKYK.

You could buy every book on cows out there and not find 1/10th of what is in this packed Manual. The 5-star reviews speak for themselves.

We built this because we love cows and want you to be successful with yours.

Here’s to milk, from your cow, just as you hoped.

Reply MANUAL.

🥛 Cheers. And happy milking.

The needs are more acute now. The cold that we knew was coming is here.

Even the blessed ones who have been given a camper still often need help making it something other than a cold metal icebox against the searing wind. Some have generators, not all. Some have sewer hookups, not all. Many people in campers still can’t take a shower without additional support because there is nothing around to hook up a camper TO and the counties are giving many folks a really hard time.

But instead of lamenting what is wrong, let’s focus on what we can do to help. People helping people works. And that’s exactly what our partners at Operation Anchor are doing.

The needs change daily — the small, nimble, people-driven rescue organizations need the ability to pivot and meet that need. Which means they need funds for RELIEF.

Sometimes a camper needs to be winterized. Sometimes repairs are needed on a home that is still standing so that more than a bedsheet can protect those inside against the cold, cold wind.

Have I mentioned that it is COLD? Biting, skin-chapping cold. And it’s supposed to get worse in the next week.
When you comment RELIEF on this post we will send you a link to a YouTube video on our partners at Operation Anchor and what they did and are doing for a family in Relief, NC, who lost two members of their family and are now rebuilding the house to provide a warm place for others in the community who escaped with their lives but not their homes.

You will also get a link to our partner ministry to donate to keep those on the ground going. Folks at Operation Anchor are winterizing this camper, just based on a need that someone shared *this morning* on this platform, and we were able to connect them to help. This family has people advocating for them – a lot of people don’t even have that – and they just needed resources and know-how. Operation Anchor get things done.

Reply RELIEF and we will get you linked up to be part of the solution.

Want to be wildly happy? Live for a reason.

Rich people, famous people, accomplished people, educated people, comfortable people have nothing without this one thing: purpose.

Of all the fires that burn, that one has the slowest burn and the greatest stamina. I’ve never known someone to be truly content without it.

Don’t read what George Bernard Shaw is not saying. He isn’t saying that the community owns him in a way that superimposed over his will. He is saying that he lays down his life for a greater purpose that elevates his friends. Willingly. Joyfully. For a purpose that burns bright because of the nature of the gift.

There is a lot of counterfeit about. Discernment is especially important right now. And as you are looking about, purpose is something of a litmus test.

What I most love about farming — tending our basket and finding our needs to be tangibly met in community by exchanges that are more than mere commerce and when done with intimacy form the basis of real resilience — is that it offers a continual purpose.

No longer disconnected from the natural world when winter is cold and the shorter days mean you better have planned ahead for a time of scarcity of food, sometimes that drought-busting rain means you and your neighbor are going to have to work together to get the crop in the ground before the ground is too wet to work and the sun becomes too short to shine the plants into a harvest.

These are real and visceral things. And there is no sweeter moment than by the fire with hot chocolate when you milked the cow and traded some extra for your neighbor for some carrots and now your tired bones curl under a blanket because the scarcity of the season approaching in one respect means the arrival of an abundance that the previous season didn’t afford: time to be still, quiet, recharge.

How could we not give our all to such a beautiful cadence? Why is it that we traded this for a drive through? Such unbounded beauty is still available. Here. Now.

Since the counties don’t seem to know how to count, let’s count for them. The state is about to FINALIZE these numbers and close the books on Hurricane Helene. Even as bodies are still being recovered by many, many citizen and public search and rescue teams today!!

If you PERSONALLY know of someone who tragically perished in Helene, firstly, please know first that your loss is significant and meaningful and its magnitude isn’t reflected by what the state is acknowledging, or not.

If you would like the names of those you lost to be counted by others who are willing to share the truth, then please list a short memorial to them here, and put the COUNTY NAME IN PARENTHESES.

Americans who died will be named, acknowledged and mourned. This is our core humanity.

This is how the news isn’t reported.

This is how a narrative is constructed. When something is a big story, ink has to be used on it. But if there aren’t reporters on the ground or resources aren’t sent to put actual people in the actual scene, words still need to be written. So they get put together from afar with local quotes to fulfil journalistic obligations.

Here’s what I think is the real story here: Entire towns in NC and east TN washed away. When our farm started doing make-shift relief work 48 hours after Hurricane Helene hit the mountains in our state, we started making friends in the towns we visited. And the stories we were hearing from them didn’t even feel like they came from the same universe that the stories were being written about in the national press.

For one thing, it’s been ten days since there was any significant increase in the number of reported dead. Which is really strange considering that what everyone who I know who has been impacted says but no one seems to be able to utter publicly because of the raw trauma is the shear number of bodies that remain un-tagged and unrecovered. Not to mention the refrigerated trucks parked in every county.

Official death tolls don’t need to be tabulated and released for those stories to be told. But they are not being told. And the people who drowned in their cars and in their homes deserve better, and the living are only going to get the help they need when we acknowledge what a catastrophic amount of people have perished.

This is exactly the kind of journalism we decided we were okay with when we started paying news outlets to entertain us instead of inform us. Gathering news is expensive. Newsflash: no one has been really doing it well for a few decades.

I used to be a journalist. I wrote about money in politics, campaign finance reform, the inside “baseball” of the United States Congress. Before that I covered the Capitol Police as a “beat” reporter. And before that I answered phones for my homestate senator, the then-junior senator from Illinois.

I’ve seen a little bit about how sausage is made. And now I’ve made actual sausage as a farmer. The latter is cleaner.
