Five Marys Farms

7 years ago… I had no idea what I’d gotten myself into going from a comfortable suburban life to a learn-as-you-go ranching life, raising livestock (and chickens and turkeys, oh my) in a tiny cabin in a very small rural town, with four barefoot kids running wild in the dirt. We’ve learned a lot and grown a lot… but I’m so thankful for those early days/years on the ranch… and thankful my four much bigger little girls still run around barefoot in the dirt!

The Five Marys team shared all of our Carhartt fall favorites in a blog post and in my stories tonight! There are so many comfortable, cozy, durable pieces in the women’s and men’s lines this year – for hard working winter weather or just a relaxing fall day at home or out on the town! Check out the links in my stories (I’ll save as a highlight) and leave a comment on my blog post with your favorite wish list item and I’ll pick one to send a new Carhartt jacket to on Friday! #fivemarys #fivemarysxcarhartt #carharttambassador #fallfavorites #fivemarysblog @carhartt

When this girl gang was a few feet shorter and our chickens still laid buckets of eggs. The girls are taller now and the chickens are old and cranky and hide all of their eggs if they are even still laying. 🥚 Good thing Tess is raising a new crop of chickens to keep us fed and baking! 🍳

It’s always bittersweet to close up the camp kitchen after a summer of warm nights entertaining on the hill. We hosted some @m5entrepreneurs retreats up there this summer and spent many ranch date nights enjoying the view together. We didn’t cook up there as much as we did arena side this summer… but the nights we did had the same camp magic it’s always had. We’re hosting one more event this weekend – an all-staff team Five Marys dinner to celebrate the changing of seasons and 1-year of Five Marys Custom Meat Co! Until next year camp…. #campfivemarys

I’m so excited to be RELAUNCHING my business courses – for rural entrepreneurs, ranchers, farmers, florists, growers, bakers, makers and aspiring small business owners. TOGETHER we can make big things happen – and the new course format offers smaller modules, lessons and workshops in audio (podcast style!), video and workbook format to give you the right tools, knowledge and guidance you need exactly when you need it. Think of it like bite-size business school on your schedule and on demand! Plus – the M5 Community gives you the on-going support you need to ask questions on call to grow and guide your business. Are you ready!? I can’t wait to share it with you… we’ll have gifting options for the holidays if you know someone who could benefit by the gift of education! @m5entrepreneurs #m5entrepreneurs

A great rodeo weekend all around… highs and lows, big smiles and some tears, new skills, lessons and friendships. There’s just something about rodeo… ✨ I tried my best to capture the highlights in 60 seconds on the last slide… 48 hours in 60 seconds wasn’t easy! 🙃 #m5rodeo

Loving this view at the rodeo ✨ I caught up on my “stack” of @yearlycompany bangles this week with 17 beautiful gold bangles to signify my wedding day plus 16 years of marriage! Each bangle tells a story – some are passed down from my grandmother MaryJane who died young but started this tradition with my grandfather, from my two angel aunts in heaven Kaky & Chris who passed their stacks on to those they loved – and the rest made by my talented sister and her company that honors and shares our family tradition, Yearly Co. I added the five diamond decade bangle to represent my five favorite people and my bookend daughters turning TEN and 15 this year – and the soon-to-be released WAVY bangle to represent the ups and downs of life as a reminder that it always looks up after a hard day or year! My bangles hold up to the rough wear of ranching, I never take them off and they just bend and shape with my lifestyle (they bend right back to round on the top of a wine bottle!) the beauty of solid, 14k, well-made gold jewelry thanks to my sister and her team! Here’s to milestones and traditions… and the stories each year tells! ♥️ #yearlyco #fivemarysxyearlyco @yearlycompany

My Dad calls himself “Mr Lucky” for marrying my mom – but we are the lucky ones to have them both as parents! From my 7th grade “Mary’s Summer Fun Camp” backyard babysitting business where my mom put up with me having 15 extra kids running around the backyard half the summer and my Dad coming home from work on Friday’s to bbq for the parents talent show… To 30 years later, hosting my sister and I and our businesses in the same backyard for a book signing and jewelry pop-up for our friends and customers! The best cheerleaders around…. and you can always count on Grampery to pop that champagne for us because everyday is something to celebrate! 🥂 #fivemarys #yearlyco #fivemarysxyearlyco #jannieandgramperyshouse

Francie and Maisie got to spend last week in Burns, Oregon cowboy-big with Uncle Donald and his crew everybody morning at dawn and cooking and building a new business with Aunt Kat for @doverspikebeef. The perks of doing alternative school programs and having the best Aunt & Uncle! Francie rode the sagebrush mountains with the cowboys every day and Maisie split her time riding, baking, cooking and helping Kat assemble her truckload of shipping tables and supplies to start selling @doverspikebeef direct to customers! Donald is a fifth generation OREGON cattle rancher and we are all glad he married Brian’s sister Katherine. He’s helped us out since we started raising cattle and it’s always fun to have so much to talk about (and have Donald know all the answers to our questions!) I’m so excited for Kat to start selling their family ranch raised beef too. Now we have even more reasons to get together for “work” and workshops! And Francie and Maisie had a very memorable trip… they can’t wait to go back. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ #doverspikebeef #burnsoregon #m5maryfrances #m5marymarjorie @francieheff @maisieheffernan
