Two Sparrows Farm

The skies finally opened on our farm today and we are so grateful! 🥰
…
We were able to get all of our freshly-made bales into the barn last night and the rain is much-needed for our grazed and mowed pastures. 🌱
…
The blue skies will return, but like any good Michigander, I was happy to see some gray skies and rain fall. 🌧️
…

Baby born Saturday morning!! 😍
…
Healthy Hereford cross bull calf - he was up nursing in the pasture when I found him. 💪
…
🌱 The grass was a little stunted in the cold weather but we’re hoping with some heat & rain, we can salvage more quantity for our 1st hay cutting!
…


Every day is busy in this season! 😃 After an early milking, fresh cow/calf & rotating pastures on Saturday we were at a soccer game 40 minutes away then dropping kids at a birthday party…and we celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary by getting caught up cleaning the house & yard 🥳🤦‍♀️
…
We *did* share an iced coffee at the soccer game so that kinda counts as a date, right?! 😂
…

Yes, we’re hiring 💙 Please read the FULL description ‼️
…
I’m looking for a part-time milker on Monday mornings - Tuesday is also available but optional. We need someone who is here on a weekly basis, familiar with the farm, cows, how everything runs and can pick up more hours as part of a team when we want to take time off
…
This is a year-round position (not seasonal) and we work in all weather conditions - hot, dry, wet, cold, snow, mud, flies. You name it.
…
You will be pooped and/or peed on at some point- hopefully by a cow. 😜
…
We need someone who can follow protocols with attention to detail, especially for sanitation and hygiene, can work independently, and can follow directions closely.
…
Ability to lift 50 lbs required, be able to communicate clearly and directly. Reliable transportation aka required.
…
Optional (for additional pay) would be learning calf chores, moving milk, rotating pastures, etc.
…
We pay $100 per milking (approx 2.5-3 hours) and start time is generally between 8 and 9 am.
…
I am flexible with start dates but must be available to train thru the summer with a hard start of September
…
Please DM if you have questions or would like to connect. We generally have people milk with us as a trial before a concrete offer - don’t be offended. This just isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and it’s better to find out sooner rather than later. 😝
