Happy birthday Little Red! Farmer’s daughter, Emma Kate, loves this girl so big! She claims her as her own and 100% gets all the credit for helping socialize her and training her to be a good girl. Enjoy that extra scoop of feed sweet girl! 🤎

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever taken more beautiful pictures on the farm. The OGs, Moose and Goose, couldn’t miss a chance to see the Northern Lights with Farmer’s Wife. 💜💚🩵

Forever loving our very first photo session with K.M. Smither Photography 🤎🤍 Holiday and family sessions are sweet, but the birthday pics really hit you right in the feels 🥹

Oh hi there, Maple! 🍁

Sending loads of prayers to everyone effected by the hurricane weather. Kentucky has been hit been with loads of rain (that we as farmers are indeed so very thankful for) and lots of wind (that we aren’t so thankful for). We came home to numerous trees down this evening and are just so thankful our sweet cows were not hit when these massive trees fell. One of the trees downed has a root system over 5.5 feet tall. Massive. We’ve got a lot to cleanup and a fence to fix, huge shout out and thanks to Farmer Greg for continuing to work in the rain and get a DIFFERENT fence fixed so the cows can move pastures ASAP. 🫶🏼 His hard work doesn’t go unnoticed and I should probably go make that man some dinner 😉

Ps. If you haven’t booked fall or Christmas pics with the cows—reach out and let’s get you booked (we do have limited availability so spots are starting to fill quickly with our previous inquiries)! We’ve got Moose AND BABY STORMY who should be ready for pics this season and we absolutely cannot wait to see your pictures! 📸

This sweet girl. Wow. Stormy girl is such a treasure and we are so excited that she is so very close to being ready to take pictures with friends. ❤️ Moose (+ a couple others!) are of course always ready to meet friends and eat treats 🐮 The website availability has been updated to current availability, subject to change*. If you’re a photographer looking to book Fall or Christmas minis, please moooove quickly to confirm your preferred dates/times ASAP as we do have LIMITED availability this season!

I spy 5 little heads in that trough! Little Stormy is growing, growing! She has started joining the bigs at dinner time and nibbling on the yummy yums 🌽

No “bull”, sunsets on the farm are our absolute favorite. So thankful for this life 🐮 🩵

It might be International Dog Day, but we like to refer to our fluffy butts as grass puppies… much like our chocolate lab, Duke, these grass puppies sleep AND eat on their own terms 🤪 Enjoy this throwback of the boys as calves and my absolute favorite nose lick 🐮

Sunflower field update 🌻: What a summer it’s been! A few wrenches were thrown our way earlier in the season and seeds did not get planted on time this year. We are so sad our big beautiful sunflowers aren’t blooming this season, but we are even more excited for the multi-field plan we have for next year.
We will continue to offer cow session and just farm access for photography! As always, reach out with any questions 🐮

Happy Fourth of July from the herd at Ford Acres 🇺🇸

07/01/2024

As we wrap up June, let’s celebrate Maple (far left) and Brown Sugar’s (far right) first birthday! This past week both girls turned ✨ONE✨

06/20/2024

Just our boy Duke who turned into the biggest and best farm dog there ever could be. Turn an eye and boy he’s out exploring somewhere. Keep an eye and he’s right by your side 🤎

Farm life isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it’s repurposing an old hot tub so the girls have double the water on these hot days 🥵

Happy Father's Day to the hardworking farm dads out there! We appreciate you today and every day ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to Farmer Greg and to all the dads out there 💛🖤 We couldn’t live this life without ya. Farmer Greg spent his day building a barn because he just doesn’t know how to stop working. We love you so big!
Xoxo, 💋

In case you missed our post a few weeks ago, meet Gretchen and Regina… Farmers Daughter brought these chicks home from school after they hatched, so now, we have chickens 🤷🏻‍♀️👀🐓
Here’s to hoping they are both hens, but I’m not so sure that Gretchen may not be a rooster… 🫣

Real post alert 🚨 I never digested the importance of the “stop doing balloon send off” posts. It hits different when it directly affects you though. We found a balloon recently in our field near the cows. What you may not know is a lot of livestock will eat anything they find. If one of our sweet babies had found this before we did, this post may have been a bit different and we are so thankful that is not the case this time. If you’re considering a balloon release in the future, we urge you to find another way to celebrate your loved one. Those balloons don’t just stay high in the sky, the eventually pop and fill farms with harm. ❤️

Where laughter meets nature’s beauty!! We absolutely cannot wait to share our sunflower fields with you again this year! 🌻

We have some catching up to do! What a busy spring with our very first calf being born on the farm and planting season beyond among us! We’ve been busy tilling space, building barns, and moving cattle to fresh grazing fields! We hope to bring a flower field update to you soon and an updated website for booking with our sweet cows. In the meantime, if you’re an individual or photographer looking to book a time (or time block) to visit our cows (& for photography) reach out and we will ensure the booking options are available for you 🐮

Story time: Farmer’s wife here. Anyone notice two little girls running a field they shouldn’t be running in? 🙃 At the MOST inconvenient time, one of the calves got stuck on the temporary fence, pulled said temporary fence out of place, spins around into the big field, finally lets me free her, takes off running. Me-“Shew, at least she’s in a fenced area” Calf number 2 decides to slip on out to the big, wide open world. Me-“you’re kidding” All 5 cows are running, embracing freedom… Me-🤦🏻‍♀️ “but it’s fine they are all still in a fence” Said calf number 1 who got stuck and escaped first decided she didn’t like being chased by the big cows, so she took it upon herself to hop the electric fence. Me-*driving down the driveway to LEAVE* “YOU’RE KIDDING ME” *FLOORS IT TO CLOSE THE FRONT GATE* “NOT TODAY SATAN, NOT TODAY” *calls Emma* “Help, now, please, guard the other open gate entrance, babies are OUT” *I kid you not this kid ran out quicker to help than I’ve seen her move in the past 5 years* Still me-*tells self, “self, just herd them into the corner maybe they will jump back in” After a short panic, I watched calf 1, jump BETWEEN the electric fence and calf 2 followed by going UNDER the fence. Cool. Awesome. Great. Everyone is back inside a fence. The big cows are just watching the chaos and I’m certain laughing at me… All the while, Farmer Greg is on his way home… WHEW, these calves got the farmer’s wife workin’ and panickin’ too much around here 😂 Have no fear, Farmer Greg came home and the farmer’s daughter, Emma helped him get the babies back in their pen, fence fixed, and all safe for the night. It never fails someone is out to give us a wild ride around this farm. . #FordAcres #Frankfort #Kentucky #KY #MooseAndGoose #HighlandCow #Cow #Cows #Highland #Moo #LittleRed #LittleRedBirdie #ScottishHighland #FarmerGreg #Farm #FarmLife #FarmersWife #FarmersDaughter #Escapee #Esca

Mr. Goose is NOT thrilled we have the babies sectioned off for a bit while they get acclimated. He has cried for them two nights in a row 🙃 . #FordAcres #Frankfort #Kentucky #KY #MooseAndGoose #HighlandCow #Cow #Cows #Highland #Moo #ScottishHighland #FarmerGreg #Farm #FarmLife #FarmersWife #FarmersDaughter
