What the Farmer’s Wife Reads

In this episode of *A Tiny Homestead*, Mary talks with Andrea from What the Farmer’s Wife Reads in Owatonna, Minnesota. Andrea shares what life is like on her family’s fifth-generation dairy farm, where they milk around 250 registered Holstein cows. She also talks about raising calves, farm life, family, and how a love of books eventually led her to create a space where she can combine reading with her farming life. The conversation turns to favorite authors and childhood books, the importance of helping children discover a love of reading, and why parents should advocate for their children when it comes to education. Andrea also shares her plans for a farm-inspired mystery book subscription, complete with books, treats, stickers, and bookmarks. It’s a warm conversation about farming, books, family, animals, and finding the things that bring a little joy to everyday life.
