About Me

Welcome to my first Fulk Family Farm blog post! I'm so excited to share all of the excitement that goes on in our daily lives with you. If you love baby animals, interesting farming experiences, and family, look no further. This will be the blog for you!

I'm Rose. I'm a twenty year old mom of one living with my little family in northern Mississippi. Since we moved here at the end of 2018, we've been busy starting our life together and building our farm. I recently started a blog to document my garden-related happenings, but since I haven't started my garden quite yet, we currently have a lot more going on in the animal department. I figured it would be interesting and entertaining for me to share what goes on in our daily lives with you. Almost every day, something noteworthy is happening on the farm. I'll start with events from the past week just to give you an idea.

• We had 14 chicks hatch in our incubator.
• I took on a litter of five husky mix puppies and their older sister. I foster for a rescue here in town. These guys will be staying with me until June first. 
• We bought two goats at auction, loaded them into the back of my SUV, drove them home, and one proceeded to try to jump through my windshield, breaking it with her horns in the process.  Then later that same day, she escaped and took off on our 40+ acre property. We went for a walk in the rain, leading our three other goats to try to lure her back. We eventually got her to come close enough to the barn that we herded her into a stall and shut the door behind her. We ended up selling her the next day.
• I took on an orphaned two day old kitten.
• Our three year old daughter got her first pony, a miniature horse named Lucky.
• My fiance built me a milking stand with cedars he cut from around the property.
• We went riding late at night and didn't get back until 1am. Needless to say, our daughter fell asleep on the horse and I had to hold her up the whole way back. 

And the events of this week haven't even been that out-of-the-ordinary.

Farming is the most rewarding experience of all. There are so many highs and so many lows, but the good times make it all worth it. We invite you to join our family in celebrating the highs and reflecting on the lows. I plan to post nightly about each day's ups and downs, and I promise there will be some pictures and funny stories along the way.
