Life On The Farm

Hello terilee
Indeed I have.
It was in Ireland when I was small and also in England in the north in the Lake District.
I got to shear sheep for the first time and bale hay and trout fish, all new to me.
I loved the farm cheese that was made there as well called Wensleydale cheese in big round blocks so fresh and would be so expensive now.
I really loved it and it was a good workout, course I was only around 19 or so, so working out was no problem hehe

I am sitting in a rural farm house right now. We live in a rural area in northeast Colorado. I was the town kid when I married my husband and we lived for a year in the city but came home 28 years ago and have lived here ever since! My kids were raised here and I have to say that it's the best upbringing that you can give a kid. Having them be in county fairs, showing animals, working the fields,harvest, playing with the baby animals, and just enjoying the whole wide world that God gave us! I love living on the farm and I think anyone that hasn't experienced it is really missing an important part of life!

I like farm,I always play over there when I child, invite my friend, play all time, play with animal, very happy, and very enjoy,and near my farm, there is a river, and we swim and laugh...nice memory and nice place

Good morning, terilee! I never lived on a farm, but I spent plenty of time with my grandparents on theirs. I was a little scaredy cat so I don't have a lot of good memories about farm animals, but I used to love spending the night there with them.

More of my memories involve picking fruits and veggies like strawberries and peas...and helping my grandmother with the cooking (okay, so I did mostly eating!)

Concerning those chicken eggs... well, I*do* remember going out with my grandma to gather them and I really hated it. The chickens flew from the top roost and I dreaded that so much and thought they'd fly into my face.

We lived in a small community, but we had a large garden, at least 2 acres. He use to raise some awesome veggies. Yes Corn stalks so high you couldn' see over them, just the sky above. Daddy did raise chickens, but that was about all he was allowed in the area we were in. He did rent land further out and raised pigs. I use to try to gather the eggs, but man those chickens could be mean!
Thanks for the memories.

My Grandfather had a farm, so, I spent many days playing with the animals, milking cows etc. The absolute worst job was picking rocks. I remember walking through the fields picking rocks and putting them in the back of the trailer on the plough. Working on a farm is back breaking tough work, but, very satisfying. I think people would have a new appreciation for the food we eat if they saw where it came from. I really think people think the meat and veggies we eat come from the grocery store. I would love to buy a hobby farm, with a cow and a couple of horses.

Well, that life is really attractive. To be honest, I have never seen a farm myself. In my country, there are not that many farms, especially in my province. I always dream of living this kind of life on a farm. It's just great to be there.I wish one day I can spend some days on a farm.

Two years on the farm -- from Chicago to a farm on the desert in California where my stepfather was an irrigator. My sister and I had fun on the farm. It wasn't a cattle farm, just crops. We did have chickens, dogs and cats. My sister and I swam in the reservoir, caught polliwogs, rode on a combine, I learned to drive a Jeep and got to drive a tractor once just for fun.

Yeah, sis and I would play in the fields of maize, climb nearby buttes and whatever we did, as I recall it was fun.

I'm glad to be in the city as an adult.

you are right, there are a lot of city kids that have never been out to the country. fortunately for us, my hubbys sister lives on a farm and we have even 'farm sat' while they went away. they have beef cows, so we dont have to milk them, but still have to feed them and the like.

I've seen all of that, but haven't lived it.

A couple of years ago when I was in Minnesota, we had a small hobby farm. Six horses, a couple of dogs and cats, and a decent sized garden.

That's about it!
