Meet our new Garden Manager, Wendy!

2/26/2018

Wow, I am so excited to have Wendy join the teaching team here at Laughing Buck Farm.  She will team up with me in the garden as the manager this season, creating opportunities for our current classes to get their hands in the dirt and to experience the satisfaction of growing seed to harvest.   She will also coordinate our interns and other garden work crews.  Not only that, she is going to be adding some new (and old favorite) classes to the schedule so stay tuned!    ~ FarmHer Rosemary

 From Wendy,
"
Whether in the forest, fields, or farms, my passion has always been nature.  Since childhood, spending hours in fields full of long grasses or in the forest, has been full of magic and imagination.  Farms were always an extra special treat for me, with all of their critters and the smell of fresh hay!  It is this same spirit of adventure and fun that I bring to my programs.  As a former Special Education Teacher, Naturalist, Outdoor Educator, Farmer, and History Educator, I have spent many golden hours teaching children about the wonders right under their feet and around them!  I love to inspire compassion, kindness, and creativity, in the children and adults I work with.  I like to have a lot of movement, music, stories and games in my programs so that learning happens along with the fun!  I am thrilled to be joining Laughing Buck Farm and creating new opportunities for many children and adults to experience the fun and adventure at Laughing Buck Farm as well as helping out with the fabulous existing programs, already here. I am excited to get to know the community here and to learn and explore with all of you!"

Haybarn Interviews with FarmHer Rosemary

2/21/2018

Have I mentioned how much I love our interns?!  In 2017, Julia came on as a Laughing Buck Farm garden intern and also turned her journalism and marketing skills toward the farm. She conducted several interviews with me, mixed them with farm images and videos and created this series of interview videos that I hope will answer some questions you might have about our programs, our philosophy and how we got here.  If you have any further topic ideas, just let us know. :)

You can find Juila on Facebook, Instagram and her website with portfolio lives here:

Enjoy the show! And thank you, Julia!

The Buck Starts Here -- guest post by Sara B

The Laughing Buck Farm is quickly claiming a special spot in our hearts. We can pretend it’s ours, even if it’s just for a few hours, we can let go, get dirty and unplug {except for taking pictures and the occasional instagram story… I can’t help it}.

FarmHer Rosemary shines of happiness, she’s chillaxed and curious… it’s contagious and inspiring. I’m not always good at sharing the things I hold dear, maybe because I’m afraid to let go or lose it, but FarmHer Rosemary allows and encourages the kids to love on her animals and to care for them as if they were their own. It’s helping me allow people to get close to my favorite things too, after all, wonderful things are meant to share with wonderful people.

When I decided to unschool my kids this past May, one of my biggest hopes was to slow down, lower the stress, connect deeply with my kids, get curious and get outside in nature. Laughing Buck Farm has fulfilled all this and more.

FarmHer Rosemary invited the kids into her homeschooling farm class even though we make up half the class. Financially putting 3 kids in the class required some creative solutions. Luckily FarmHer Rosemary is very creative. Not only do the kids spend time doing farm chores, learning about animals, critters and plants, tending to and riding the horses while in farm class, as a family we trade volunteer time for a piece of the farm class tuition. Can you really ask for anything better? I find our volunteer time at the Laughing Buck Farm to be unique and precious. I treasure the opportunity to have more time together, connect and problem solve, more time for learning and experiencing this lifestyle we hope to have of our very own one day.

The kids love the feeling of helping, doing something good and being a part of the farm. They especially like cleaning the chicken coop, tending to the horses, delivering christmas trees using a horse wagon and figuring out how to outsmart the busy, sweet and sometimes naughty goats. And beyond that, I’ve noticed their confidence level go up; FarmHer Rosemary believes in them and gives them a gentle push outside their comfort zone. We’ve had so many amazing conversations about life lately. I know it’s partly because we’ve stepped away from school influences and partly because they get to be who they are and feel good about it. I feel like their minds are more open, more curious, more them, thinking with their own brains {because they have the space to do it} and Laughing Buck Farm has a lot to do with these amazing changes.  We are grateful to be a part of such a magical place. It’s one of our favorite activities of the week.

And if you’re wondering who I am, my name is Sara. I am a wife and a mama of 4. I spend my days finding more ways to enjoy life and grow as a person, I wish to support my kids to find their way and fulfill their purpose, and love them through all the ups and downs. I am a doTERRA essential oil leader, sprinkling oily fairy dust all across the land. I’m on a total high when I help empower other families to care for themselves naturally, I love spreading wellness and hope and creating healers in homes.
