Welcome to Minnesota Farm Living! My name is Wanda Patsche and I live in southern Minnesota and quite frankly, where I have spent my entire life. I am a city girl turned farm wife. Not only a farm wife but a mom and grandmother to three grown daughters, three sons-in-law, and seven (soon to be eight!) grandchildren.
My husband and I own and operate an independent modern midwest farm raising corn, soybeans and pigs. We have farmed for nearly 40 years and oh, the changes we have seen over the years.
Let me just start and say, I am passionate about ag. I never grew up on a farm, but I have developed a true appreciation for agriculture over the years. I love sharing my “story” through my blog and other social media platforms. But there is more to my life than just ag. I love to travel, love music (especially live performances), and love my family.
My blog is like looking through the window to my life. I open the curtains and share my perspective and truth about agriculture and other important life topics. You will see pictures of my family, my farm, my travel adventures, and beautiful rural Minnesota farm living. In other words. my life.
Please email me if you have questions, interested in working together in sponsored posts, social media services or speaking engagements.
