I live on a dairy farm neat
Somerset with my husband, KuH,
and 3-year-old son Daniel.
I think it’s important to show
people what farm life is really lite-
We have 175 school children
planning on coming to our
farm to learn a little of what it'sou
about. It's something I feel form
families need to do so non-farm
folks understand where we are
coming from in relating to polities’
laws, etc.
