🚜 Most folks today are three to five generations removed from the farm.
Their grandparents might’ve milked a cow before school — now they grab an oat milk latte on the way to work. ☕🐄
And honestly? That’s not their fault.
They didn’t choose to grow up in a world where small farms disappeared, grocery stores took over, and food started arriving pre-cut, pre-washed, and wrapped in plastic. 🛒
Somewhere between the barn and the shopping cart, the story got lost.
So when we hear things like “farmers pump animals full of hormones” or “that poor calf was taken from its mom,” we get it.
If we didn’t live this life every day, we might believe it too. Folks aren’t bad — just disconnected. 🤷♂️
But here’s the deal: if you care about where your food comes from, it’s worth hearing the truth — straight from real farmers.
Not from someone online posting sad music and scary clips who’s never stepped inside a barn, let alone cleaned one. 💩👢
Ask questions. Be curious. Visit a farm (with permission — it’s not a petting zoo 🐖).
You’ll see it’s not some giant corporation twirling its mustache.
It’s families — like ours — who care deeply about their animals, their land, and the people they feed. ❤️🌾
And to our fellow farmers — we’ve got a job to do too.
We can’t just throw up our hands and say, “people are clueless.”
They’re not — they’re just removed.
So let’s tell our story. Explain the why. Show the care.
Be patient when it’d be easier not to be. 💬
Because if we don’t share our story, someone else will — and they’ll likely get it wrong.
The disconnect is real, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
It starts with folks willing to listen 👂 and farmers willing to talk 👨🌾 — both working toward the same thing:
good food, good land, and a little more understanding between the people who grow it and the people who eat it. 🍽️🌱
