After the tour it was time for chores. We got to milk some cows and even my wife and son gave it a try. After that, we fed the calves some bottles of milk and then we fed and watered the pigs.
I was thrilled to offer my family this great experience. My father is from a farm in northern Wisconsin. Growing up, I was always up there helping my cousins do chores. I know how to milk a cow, muck a stall and throw bales of hay. I used to spend weeks on the farm as a kid during the summer. Living in the city, my kids didn’t get that experience. It was a real joy to have the opportunity for my family to experience something like this.
Next time we head up North I can’t wait to visit the amish farm, get some of Ada’s awesome homemade bread and sweet rolls. Her apple butter is to die for too!
