Farm Kids: Stories from Our Lives

Every farm kid has a story. This book brings them together.

 

From combine rides with Grandpa to meals in the field, building forts in the hay bales and growing up surrounded by wide-open spaces, Farm Kids celebrates the memories, mischief, hard work and extraordinary people who shape a childhood on the farm.

Through heartfelt interviews with farm kids aged six to 100, Canadian author Billi J. Miller captures what it means to grow up on a farm — across generations.

​

Funny, nostalgic and deeply relatable, it's a book for anyone who grew up on a farm, raised a farm kid or loves someone who did.​

"I believe it is so important for people to hear farmers stories and you (Billi) have played such an important role in sharing some of these memories & stories."

"As a farm kid from the '70s and mid-'80s, I found myself transported back to those days, as I too have been chased by a chicken, helped feed and clean the pigs, been tossed off a horse right onto a frozen manure pile and spent many hours placing straw bales to make the perfect fort. If you're a farm kid from any decade, Billi J. Miller's "Farm Kids" will make you smile, tear up or laugh in agreement. "
