Hello and welcome to the The Farmer’s Story, the blogging home of Boucher Farms.

From time to time there may be subjects you have concerns about and/or may have questions about. We highly encourage you to ask your questions in the comments for everyone to see. There are no stupid questions, because if you are wanting to ask one, surely someone else is wanting an answer to the same question as well. I look forward to your comments and questions!
