Welcome to American Way Farm. Before you dive into chickens doing things chickens probably shouldn’t, or dogs narrating their lives like soap opera stars, a few ground rules and clarifications.

For Entertainment Purposes Only

Most of what you’ll read here is true—or at least as true as a farmer’s fish story. Sometimes it’s factual, sometimes it’s embellished, and sometimes it’s just the way I remember it when I haven't had a lot of sleep. This blog is not meant to be taken as legal advice, medical advice, or even chicken advice. If you attempt to live your life based on the philosophy of my sheep, you do so at your own risk.

Animal Antics

The animals featured here—sheep, chickens, pigs, goats, dogs, the occasional calf sticking her head out of a car window—are real. Their thoughts, however, when written in diary form, are entirely my own imagination. (Although Charlie the Great Pyrenees would argue he really did write those journal entries himself. He’s stubborn like that.)

Accuracy of Information

Facts presented here are accurate to the best of my knowledge at the time of writing. However, farm life changes faster than a rooster chasing a grasshopper. Prices, practices, and opinions may shift, sometimes overnight. Do not quote me in a court of law, a chicken coop, or at a family reunion.

Responsibility

If you attempt anything you read about here—raising chickens, installing barn siding, or hauling livestock across state lines in a VW wagon—you are responsible for your own results. If you succeed, wonderful. If you fail spectacularly, please write about it and send me the link, because that sounds like a good story.

Humor Warning

Sarcasm, exaggeration, and country-style one-liners are sprinkled throughout these posts like chicken scratch. If you have an allergy to humor, please proceed with caution.

Copyright

All content, stories, and photos are mine unless otherwise stated. Please don’t copy, paste, or republish without permission. (Unless you’re my mom. She can share anything she wants.)

Reader Conduct

Comments are welcome, but keep them polite. If you wouldn’t say it at the church potluck—or in front of Grandma—you probably shouldn’t post it here.

Privacy & Ads

This site does not use advertising or collect personal data. It’s just me sharing stories from the farm.

Final Note

This blog is just me, a farm gal with too many stories, writing them down before I forget. Read, laugh, shake your head, and remember—life between the fenceposts (and sometimes beyond them) is never boring.
