The Farm Life is a personal publication that delves into the realities of growing up on a farm. When people discover my rural background, they often exclaim, “Oh, that’s the dream!” This reaction prompts me to question if they truly understand the hard work involved. Through engaging reflections and storytelling, I guide readers through the relentless labor that defines farm life. What seems fairly simple at first quickly becomes overwhelming as each task builds upon the last, creating an endless cycle of work. After presenting these challenges, I revisit the question, “…The Dream?” and respond, “Actually…yes.” Growing up on a farm taught me to show up, work hard, and problem-solve. These skills have become invaluable in my daily life and design work. This editorial concludes with the powerful realization that I truly did live the dream.
