Hello, I’m Hayley! Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a milk cow and living a simpler life. Now, with my husband and four kids, that dream is a reality!
Welcome to Handmilked, a place where I share everything I’ve learned about keeping a family milk cow, using fresh milk, and creating a more fulfilling life.
From milking and caring for your cow to crafting delicious recipes from scratch and mastering essential homesteading skills, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
At Handmilked, you’ll find valuable printables, like my weekly meal planner and milk cow chore chart, all designed to help save you time and make your farmhouse life run smoother.
My husband, Chase (a Marine Corps veteran), and I have four children. Over the years, we’ve built a successful raw milk business, raised pastured pork for our community, and even ran a custom haying service. We’re passionate about sharing the joys (and challenges!) of simple living and helping others find the same fulfillment we have.
It’s my goal to help you avoid feeling overwhelmed while caring for your family and discover the true joys of the simple living movement. Ready to dive in? Check out my latest posts on milking machines and recipes, or browse my free printables library!
