Overview

"Meals in the field, combine rides with Grandad, picking fresh berries out of the garden and building forts in the bales. In her fourth book celebrating farm life, Billi J. Miller examines what farm life is like -- through the eyes of children. Only not just interviewing ""today's"" children - this book tells the stories of farm kids from the 1920s to 2022. Starting with her husband's 100-year-old grandmother, Miller asks what her days looked like when she came home from school, her memories of her mom, and what she did most on weekends. Peppered with the hilarity and frank honesty only present-day ""kids"" can master, this book is filled with stories that will enlighten you, warm your heart, and make you laugh out loud. Whether you still reminisce from your own childhood on a farm or you want to learn what it's all about - these are the stores from our lives."

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. - Mady, Learning About Ag With Mady 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. - Cheryl Brooks, 840 CFCW Farm Kids effortlessly takes you through time capturing the stories of life on the farm as a farm kid through the 1920s right to the present. Excellent and touching book for anyone interested in this life. - Peterson Brothers Billi once again captures stories of family farms weaving the wisdom of centenarians with the comedy and wit of present-day kids. This is such a meaningful read for anyone involved, or even interested in this life! - Katelyn Duban, Wildrose Farmer Inc. The Rural Woman Podcast
