Growing Up a Farm Kid
Ever wonder what it’s like to grow up on a dairy farm? We created this fun collection of photos to share a glimpse of what life is like for a farm kid. Hope you enjoy!
If you’re a farm kid, you’ve probably taken a lot of family pictures in a barn or field.
Of course, some of these family pictures made it to the family Christmas card. I mean, whose Christmas card doesn’t feature a cow?
If you’re a farm kid, sometimes your playground looks a little different.
Or when there isn’t a playground around, you wear your best dress and put on a show for the cows.

You’ve probably spent at least one week every summer at the county fair.

As a farm kid, you’re probably pretty used to washing, brushing, and caring for your own 400+ pound calf.

and in general, lots of time with cows on the farm!

Of course, there wouldn’t be farm kids without farm moms and dads…
teaching lessons about hard work and patience along the way…

Hudson Valley Fresh is honored to represent these ten family farms – moms and dads, husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters – just like your family, only maybe a little different.
