FARM Life Balance: Is It Really That Tough? (Week 42)
Manage episode 513416111 series 3688621
Welcome back to Laughlin Highlands Farm!
This week, we hit a major milestone — over 260 chickens and 30+ turkeys processed and ready for the freezer! The barn is quieter, the fields are calmer, and I’m reflecting on what it means to manage time, stress, and sanity during the busiest weeks of farm life.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to juggle family, work, and homesteading, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about what’s working (and what’s not), how to keep joy in the daily grind, and a few lessons from this week’s farm chaos.
💬 Topics Covered:
- Managing time and expectations when farm life gets overwhelming
- Finding sustainable rhythms between chores and family time
- Stress management tips for homesteaders
- How outdoor work can restore mental balance
- Why slower living doesn’t always mean “easy living”
📦 Farm Updates:
- 261 chickens + 30+ turkeys processed in Baltic, OH
- Prepping pastures for winter rest
- Recipe of the week: a hearty, slow-food comfort meal from the farm kitchen
