About Me

Hi! I am Ashley. Welcome to The Functional Farm Wife. Continue reading to learn a little about me below!

I am a Jesus lover and follower. A farmer’s wife. A homeschool mom. A mom to three. A new blogger. A budding YouTuber. I am a horse enthusiast. A cow lover. Dog mom. The cook. The maid. The nurse. The chauffer. Community member.  

I am a woman trying to find my purpose in this big ol’ world.

My husband, Marc, and I have been married over a decade now. Marc is the third generation on his family farm. We are raising the fourth generation.

We raise Registered Black Angus cattle with a focus on bull sales. We sell fresh freezer beef. We raise our closed herd of cattle from conception to consumption! I am so excited to offer Non-GMO corn finished beef in 2025! We utilize intensive rotational grazing and cover crops for optimal sustainability and soil health. We row crop yellow corn and soybeans.

We have recently made BIG dietary changes in our family. E, the middle kid, has become a completely different child without dyes, preservatives, and artificial flavors in his diet. I fought this child for over eight years with his behavior. We removed these three things and had a new person in three days!

It was a miracle and an answered prayer. I want to shout from the rooftops and share with anyone who will listen about our new changes!! It has been that remarkable.

I want to make it possible for anyone to experience what we have found. It isn’t as hard as it sounds, and I will show you how to achieve this with your family without missing your favorite foods. 

This is not the place to find the latest and greatest must-haves. I am all about doing more with less. The less money our family has to spend the better! I am here to encourage you in your relationship with Christ and improve your homemaking skills. I do not have it all figured out and perfected. We are a FUNCTIONAL family, not perfect. Our home is modest and small, but cozy and functional.

Another thing that I am very passionate about is Norwex and Force of Nature cleaning! Use code WOWCLEAN for 40% off plus Free Shipping! It is chemical free, fragrance free, and it WORKS!!

We all deserve to have a clean home with minimal effort and minimal exposure to harmful chemicals. Norwex and Force of Nature make that possible. Follow along to learn and see why these are the best out there to have!

I hope this will be a place of calm, encouragement, community, and inspiration to be the best mother you can be to your family.
