This will offer the story submission guidelines - how to submit a story. What powers are given to us (editing, or sharing personal information), and what aspects you get to choose. We want to hear from you!
While taking care of an elderly family member, we were gifted small animals (a chicken & rooster, a baby piglet....) and that morphed into a wonderful family experience for us, the Nester family (Scot & Colette Nester and our two sons, Taylor and Matthew) We raised hundreds of pigs, milked our family milk cow (Jersey's of course!), and raised beef cattle, goats, ducks, and chickens (for eggs. entertainment and meat) for 12 years. This family farm has been in Scots family for over a 100 years; and was one of the best experiences I (Colette) could ever had (beyond my Army days, and parenthood & marriage). We raised our own food, and sold beef, pork, eggs, relishes and jams to hundreds of wonderful and faithful visitors and friends at farmers markets, health food stores, cooperatives and an on-site farm store. We learned the trials and tribulations of farming, of raising livestock and dealing with a hand dealt by mother nature, inexperience, and luck (both good and bad). Read our story and submit your own, to share the joys and sadness of life on a farm.
These forms are necessary to be part of our story. The WFC Submission Release will authorize us to include your story (MANDATORY). The WFC - My Story documents are blank templates (in multiple formats) to type on or write your story (OPTIONAL). You will need to print them, scan & email, or mail a hard copy.
You will see the joy in our faces, at the farm we love dearly. These are not simply "chores" but labors of love. Join us on this journey, to share stories that make us cry.
