Farm school

Some people pay big bucks for so-called farm school, but why pay when you can get the REAL thing for free?! :)

When you live in Byron Center and have friends in Dorr who have a massive dairy farm operation - that's as real as it gets. We came home tired and filthy dirty, but ehhh, we can sleep and wash-up later, right? Plus, it brings back GREAT memories of my childhood trips to South Dakota...

go spread manure. Yep, spread manure. Emma LOVED it!

the cow beds once the manure is cleaned out.
