Welcome to our Everyday Farm Fresh website!

I am so glad you have found us. My name is Cheri Day, 1st generation egg farmer.

For most of my childhood I grew up in Calgary, Alberta. Both of my parents were school teachers, however early on my mom stayed home to raise my siblings and I. With having the summers off, I remember many of our family’s summer holidays spent down on my grandparent’s farms in southern Alberta. They farmed a mix of grains and raised cattle, milk cows, work horses, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, and sheep. I greatly appreciated the freedom and fun I had with my siblings and cousins as we roamed and explored the outdoors, farmyard, nature, and wildlife.

The older I got the more I dreamed of owning land and raising my own family in a more rural setting and lifestyle.

When my husband and I were first married, we moved around quite a bit as we finished our post-secondary education. We then settled back in Alberta, in the Edmonton area and soon after purchased our farm. We had a young, growing family and I was interested in learning ways to grow, raise and make our own healthy food for us. This has taken our family on many great adventures over the years, often by jumping in and trying things, and learning a lot along the way! I’m very grateful to our family, friends, and community (and internet) for their continual help, guidance, and advice.

Over the last couple years, I’ve been focusing more on implementing holistic and regenerative practices for our farm – to try and work alongside nature rather than against it. My intent with my blogs is to share with you some of our day to day life here on our farm – our progress on various projects on the go, a peek at our daily routine chores, and share other things of interest as well. I’d also love to hear what you love to do. Come join me!
