Welcome to "Behind the Barn Door"

This is where I discuss what it's like to run a farm on a daily basis. The ups and the downs...

I'm Melissa Watenpaugh, one of the "Four Paws" and it has been always been my dream to own a farm. I've owned and trained horses on and off over the years and had pet birds, dogs, and cats, but have never had sheep or chickens or dipped my toes into animal husbandry or processing livestock for meat. I'm really excited to share my experiences and give you a peek behind the curtain of what it takes to run a farm.
