"Living on a farm is just awesome!" - Sean

Me with my favorite horse, Reno. It is easy to smile when you are getting loved on by a horse.

Growing up on a farm is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.

When you live on a farm there is never a dull moment from collecting chicken eggs to jumping on hay bales life on the farm is great! It's a place where you get to make your own fun with your favorite people.

It Gets Kids Outside

While a lot of kids are stuck inside on screens, farm kids have a wide world right outside their door. On a hot day I can be found cooling off in the creek, pond or stock tank.

Kids Get Lots of Family Time

Working with your parents, siblings, cousins and even grandparents builds strong bonds and makes hard work feel fun.

You Can Join 4-H and FFA

These clubs are awesome experience for farm kids, kids can learn tons of real life skills. From showing animals at the county or State Fair to learning gun safety and shooting sports these clubs have something for every kid.

You Get to Play with Cute Animals Everyday

Last, but not least CUTE FARM ANIMALS! There isn't much better than starting your day with a hug from a baby donkey! Except maybe seeing the miracle of new life first-hand.

Growing up on a farm means everyday is an adventure. It's not always easy, but it's always worth it - and honestly, there's no better place to be a kid.
