TEXARKANA MAGAZINE

There are so many moving parts to running a farm and a business that it’s hard to encompass them all. Every day is different, and every day there are trials you did not have the day before. It is challenging and evolving, and it is a beautiful and hard lifestyle. Still, I feel it should be mentioned that I maintain a level of freedom that is enviable. Once my animals are taken care of, I can go help a friend, go to the lake with my family or take a vacation in the middle of the week. Discipline and grit have led to my success, but a love and appreciation for life beyond my work keep me happy.

3:00 PM By this time on Sunday and Tuesday, I prepare the Sullifarm Shop, which is open from 4:00-6:00 pm twice a week. Washing eggs to sell, organizing dozens of meat cuts, stocking products and keeping the Sullifarm Shop up and running is an entire job by itself!

6:00 PM In the evenings, I usually catch up on things I did not get to earlier in the day and I finish up projects that need to be done before dark. I usually make something to eat in the late afternoon and then continue working outside until sunset. That means my days go longer in the summer and are shorter in the winter.
