January Monthly Giveaway!

I got to milk a goat!!

When I visited my aunt who raised bulls, I got a licking by one which took me by surprise.

I remember working with flowers on a farm and then later with chicken eggs. It’s good and honest work that helps you better appreciate the food on your table.

The closest I ever got to a farm experience was raising a baby chick. I was 6 years old. All was well and good until I tried to give it a bath:(

My favorite farm experience was learning to milk a cow!

Nice giveaway! My best farm experience was picking fruit in the Niagara area each summer as a high school student – lots of cherry picking!!!

Always visited my grandma’s farm and would love to bottle feed calves when needed.

What a sweet giveaway! Before Silicon Valley became the technical hub that it is, the area was filled with orchards and my grandparents would take me to pick apples, peaches, apricots, and cherries.

I grew up on a working farm where we leased the house from the owner. When I was 10 the owner gifted me with 30 baby chicks. Up until then I was terrified of chickens, but raising them might have been the best thing to happen to my 10-year old self! I sold eggs for $1.00/ dozen to buy Nancy Drew books. :)

Hi playing with our kittens in the hay of the barn ! Love it ! Thanks for the giveaway ?

This fabric line is so adorable. I can see fun things made from it. I did grow up on a farm where my grandfather was the farm manager. One of my scariest moments was when I was going for a walk in the woods with my youngest sister riding on my back. We passed the pig pen and I didn’t realize that Mama pig had had her little piglets. Anyway I was crossing a stream that ran through the pig’s yard by holding on to the fence, walking on a log (the ‘bridge’ over the stream). She saw me, felt threatened, and charged! I scrambled across the log with my sister hanging on, but luckily for me, the pig halted right at the fence only inches away from me! I never ever walked close to a Mama pig when she had her babies!!

When I was little
I lived near a farm
The animals were playful
And for me had much charm.

The Farm Girl fabric
Just makes me frantic
I’d love to have a bit
To make a lovely quilt!

I’m so excited about this fabric! Super cute!
My favourite farm story happened a couple of years ago when we took our kids to a farm on a 40 degree Aussie summer day. We didn’t realise it would get so hot! So we were one of the only people there and pretty much had the place and animals to ourselves.

Hello and thank you for this fabulous giveaway! My favorite farm story would have to be as a small child. My parent’s had some good friends who had a huge farm and I remember going over and feeding their chickens and playing with the goats. It was always the highlight of my days….. :)

As a young child, I loved chasing the chickens.

Our cousins lived on a farm and we loved to visit. I liked the horses.

“Catching” a baby goat, swaddling it in towels! Pretty exciting for this city girl.

I don’t have much farm experience, but I love taking my kids to our local FarmPark which shows how farms work and offers many hands on activities!

Gathering eggs when the hens have secret laying places.

Watching the men bale hay, and stack it in the barn w/the pitchforks moving every which way and never getting injured:) I also loved running thru the cornfields, checking the corn around July to see if it was ripe enough to pick. Then taking it and throwing in on the grill and enjoying every delicious fresh bite. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
