Meet Jennifer!

My name is Jennifer Maesner.  I am 30 years old as of the time of posting this, and am the mother of 3 beautiful children.  I grew up in cities, but it has always been my lifelong dream to live in the country, and have a huge farm, with sheep, and pigs, and cows, and chickens, and horses, and big garden, and I would live off of these things.  

Well, at the age of 30, I can say that I have realized a part of my dream.  I bought a horse when I was 22.  He was the most perfect horse I could have ever asked for.  I have raised a cow, and had her butchered.  I have raised a lamb, and saved other lambs from almost certain death.  I have raised chickens.  I currently have 8, and we get between 5 and 7 eggs a day.  I am not sure who is not laying, or if they are hiding their eggs.  The sneaky things.  I have 2 pigs that are being raised for meat, and one that I plan to breed.  But there was something missing. 

My husband and I get raw milk on occasion from a neighbor in Chehalis, and I started making butter.  And then pancakes from the butter milk.  And I started wanting more.  So I started looking into getting a milk cow.  And then I got a call from Susan, telling me that there were two female calves for sale at our local dairy, and that she was getting one for her daughter.  I asked my husband if he was interested and he said yes.  Then Susan and I started talking, and a seed was planted.  

From that seed sprung the idea for Nature's Family Farms.  Stay with us on our journey, as we work towards our goal of making Sheep's Milk Body products, and raw milk dairy products.
