My name is Melody and I am the happy and overwhelmed-by-blessing, lead Hobby Farmer at Dandelion Meadows Farm. Being able to live this lifestyle is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream! I split my time between caring for my beautiful family, working as a nurse in a busy urgent care, and taking care of my farm. When I am not busy with those things, I spend time reading, knitting, gardening, and loving on our animals. I am committed to helping my family and community live as healthfully as possible.
Love this beautiful picture of my family "back in the day".
My family makes so much of what you see possible! Josh helps with infrastructure and is the lead man in all our mushrooming and hunting endeavors. He provides us with much of our organic meat every year, and the last few years has made it possible for us to hunt, fish and farm about 90% of our protien intake. Josh also is the one who gets tasked with so many of the unpleasant chores, grunt work, etc. Thanks babe! Emma is the my little partner in crime on the farm. If there is an animal project, you can bet she is in the middle of it. I am constantly amazed by the depth of her intuitive understanding of the animals and her learning. Wyatt is currently serving in the Oregon National Guard. We are so proud of him and grateful for his patriotism! Cecilee is my biggest dog lover and is taking the lead in all things dogs and puppies! While she loves the goat babies too, puppies are more her speed. Without her our dog program would not be successful.
