Greetings from the homestead – Hill Family Farms, West Milton
It’s been quite a busy time for us here at Hill Family Farms in West Milton as we ready ourselves for the 2024 Miami County Fair. There have been pigs to bathe, walk and condition, and a showman working hard to refine her showmanship skills. As you can imagine, life in general on a farm stays busy. With a hefty number of animals to care for, a garden to tend to, and three children to chase around, I find myself wondering if any farm family out there has mastered the ability to keep up with house chores while there is so much to be done outside. I am leaning more towards the conclusion every day that it’s either one or the other, the inside or outside. It can never be both. Add preparing for the fair into the mix, and my days really start to feel like they blur together.
