I've been a dirt Farmer all my life  

Ok you've got my curiosity up...What in the world is a 'mucket'??..Lori

my families business ever since they were born is farming and until now. My parents are farmers. My family lives in the farm side of the city. Both of my parents manage our farms. It has fruits and crops. Before we have animals but my mother disposed them for a change. they're too tired of taking care of animals everyday so they go mainly for crops and fruits in our farm.

Farming is enjoy as long as you love it. My father would say to me that he can't live longer without working out onhis farm in a day hehehe.. We call him a green thumb farmer by the way.

Wow barehugs what an exciting life,I really enjoyed your discussion from your past...I think farming is so awesome,but i know that it can be challenging..I come from a whole family of farmers,i was born in Louisana,and had it not been for farmers we would not have survived...All of our friends had cattle,cows, and chickens..We always had fresh cows milk as a child,something no one even tasted now days..Nothing better than an ice cold glass of fresh milk and homemade pie...The eggs were so different from todays eggs..I still have family members that raise cattle,and plant all kind of things in the fields..I have a cousin that still to this day,grows everything he eats,or raises it...I do not know what a Mucket is though,please tell me...I have asked a couple of people and they do not know either....Better Beef /Bigger berries sounds great.That was a nice name....Wow you made it sound so real,i would have loved to have been walking through those rowss bare foot..I loved this discussion,it sorta took me away....to better times...

How true are those words! I love you can take a girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of a girl....so true there too. I was raised on a farm. I actually helped my dad farm one summer, although he still had this image that I was just a girl kind of thing. I've always raised chickens and turkeys as a kid, got into sheep when the market was good.

Now, I'm confinded to 5 acreas with a barn that's aching for more activity than my children building forts in it. My husband brought me an old chicken house. I've got it cleaned and the windows all wired, but still waiting on a roof and new windows.

I'm slowly getting my garden groof back and honestly I told him I could probably go out and hole and cultivate this year for him.....but I doubt he'll let me.

I love my life on a farm, but I miss WORKING on a farm place. There's a big difference.

Bet you got some mussels after all that hard work eh barehug????
