I was SUPER
lucky to get to go the BlogHer Food conference this year with some other moms (
Julie and
Janet)!
First off, I am not a
'food' blogger.
I don't tend to put recipes
up, but I DO write about our farm, which is a source of food!
First let me start
with how I am associated with your (and my) food:
- We raise pigs. Do you like pork? Bacon?
Ham? Yup, we help put those
on your plate.
- We feed dairy heifers. These babies eventually grow up to be
milkin' mammas! Do you like
milk? How about ice cream? I do!
- We raise corn and
soybeans. A lot of those plants go
to making feed for those animals I mentioned above. They are also used in a lot of your food: soybean facts & corn facts.
Those are the three
main aspects of how my farm is associated with the food that ends up on your
plate.
So, when I signed up
for the conference I was pretty intimidated to think that most of the people
going to this conference would be a lot more seasoned about food and blogging
than this little farm girl. Even though
I was intimidated, I was excited to meet new people!
Being a part of
CommonGround we were able to meet up with some folks that have attended the
#CornQuest tour through
Iowa Corn in the past.
To get the conversation going, we had these awesome bracelets provided
by Iowa Corn!
Ironically, we sat
down to breakfast the first morning, and we met some fellow farmers!!
I was truly amazed of how many farmers were
at this conference, and how great EVERYONE at the conference was.
It was a great way to meet new bloggers, get
ideas, and connect.
I am a rookie
blogger, and have a lot to learn.
Just
like being a farmer, I'm so happy to have some great resources (and new
friends) to refer to!
Of course, here
are a few pics from the awesome event!
