Our Wyoming Life
PO Box 667
Gillette WY 82717
Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.
When I saw the title I thought Erin was going to announce she was pregnant!!
No more babies for us! Thanks for watching! -Erin
So did I. Good luck
@@OurWyomingLife lol my gf wants have alot of kids wich i may end up have to build big barn for them lol
Tha's next weeks posting. ;-)
Same! And never say never...we have 5 kids. My husband declared us done after 3 😂
Erin, from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont - We’re so EXCITED and HAPPY for you. Rest assured, people will come!!! You folks have done an amazing job branding your name, establishing wonderful and tasty products, you care about how your products are displayed. Heck, once you really get going, I dare to say that PEOPLE would PAY to have your meats shipped to them!! I travel more than 10-minutes to a Saturday Farmers Market. I rush home from milking a herd of cows, shower, hop in my car, listen to some great music, all the while thinking about all the delicious food I’m going to purchase, bring home, cook and enjoy with my family. Can’t wait to like your farm store on Facebook as well. Everything will be alright, don’t you worry, just simply enjoy this next venture with family, friends and your customers. 👍💕🥒🌶🥦🥕
Thank you very much Karen! We will let you know once the Facebook gets sorted out. Thanks for watching! -Erin
Congratulations on your business adventure Erin!! I live in Gillette and would be happy to drive the 10 minutes to support a local business, please keep us updated when you open the store i would love to stop out for your opening!!
Erin, Congratulations! I hope things go well with your store! You are a very hard-working young lady! That's what America is all about! We all need something of our own that we can do. I sew, and as of about 6 years ago I make quilts! I'm 73 years old, but I love your channel!
Handmade quilts are the best! Thanks for watching! -Erin
Best of luck to you and your family. Family first, the business will follow.
Family first is right! Thanks for watching! -Erin
Have you ever thought of becoming a 'Harvest Host'? It is for RV's who would like to spend a night at your location. They is not a charge, but they are great buyers of your products and produce. You are such a great family and very open to new adventures. It is so nice to see Mike supporting you. Good luck!
Best of luck to ERIN. I thought you were going to cry about your announcement. You are not taking away from the farmers market but extending options during the week and spending valuable time that can never be lived again with your children. I understand your apprehension that you are undercutting the farmers market but you are not. You are just providing a different service by being open the days the market isn't. This decision has to be a stress reliever. Having all of your produce and meat on site cuts down on prep time and transportation cost. Plus it took Mike away for a couple of days of taking care of the ranch. This being Good Friday I believe this is what our Father would praise. Not as self serving but as looking out for the community in you own way. God Bless your family!
The best of luck to you on your new venture Erin !!
Thank you! -Erin
Congrats to you all!
Congratulations! You will be pleasantly surprised. 10min from town, name recognition established, quality known, buy fresh 4d/week instead of one. I love fresh local source products and Farmers Market but only on Saturday is a bummer. Don't sweat leaving your friends at the market. They may wish to join you and provide additional product for your store. It could become a community coop sort of deal. You've made a great decision for the family. The kids will get so much valuable experience right there at their front door. Priceless!
Your announcement coincides with my husband saying today he wants to visit you when we are in the area. I told him we just can’t stop by all their subscribers want to do that. Now we can! We are in Jackson Hole so hope to see you soon! Sounds great!
Erin,
This is by far one of the great announcements you could ever make. The video was awesome, kinda emotional to be honest. Good luck with your new endeavor, you can do this and life of your family will me much better being on the Ranch. OWL doesn’t disappoint. Good luck, Dennis and Kelsey ❤️
Sound concept, plan and so far, execution. I hope that as a part of those plans, will include a covered patio area in front of the store so you can exhibit more goods and or provide a sitting area for travelers that come to the store or ranch. Part of the garden could easily grow flowers for dressing up the store area and also provide additional income from the sale of potted and basket of flowers. On the inside walls, you could also consider local artists paintings and or American Indian crafts. One last idea worth your consideration, would be to invest in a refreshed old-time water chilled soda (top load) machine for thirsty shoppers and travelers.
Great ideas! Thanks for watching! -Erin
Good luck Erin!
Erin,,, what a great bold step. With your personality and the established customer base,,, I just believe the farm store will flourish. The VERY BEST of luck in this new adventure.
What a pioneer women you are. Work up until the babies arrive and then back to work the week after. Wow! Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing the baby pics. So sweet.
Such an awesome opportunity for y’all!! Really proud of you Erin!!
You'll do fine. You know your ready when you get tingles all over. Kind of envious, it's a special time when opening a business. You worry about it, struggle with it, work super hard for it, and other then your kids, it'll be the greatest thing you've ever done.
This is awesome!! As a business owner I can attest to the fact family must come before business/work. You have made a sacrifice that will pay off and your family will be better for it. Congratulations on your business venture.
Awesome Erin! All your hard work is paying off. Really neat to see your family grow and progress on the ranch. When are we gonna see a show on Discovery channel?
Erin, Congrats on your new business adventure. Life is full of risks and rewards. I look forward to see the transformation of the inside the store.
Thank you Jeff!
Speaking to you as the mom of 3 wonderful young children as you are, Erin, you got this!! Somehow during your transition from a weekend sales operation into more of a Homestead Producer, there must be a way to do up some of your famous carrot cake and frosting combo to Celebrate this great adventure you are opening into. And I also believe with Mike there beside you, very soon the presence of nervousness and doubt in your voice this evening will be replaced with the calm confidence that has brought you both and your family to this point in time! Hope you all have a wonderful Good Friday evening and a most enjoyable Easter Sunday / calving day! -Bob...
Great announcement , Erin .
Looking forward to your videos .
This is so exciting. A nice drive in the country and shopping for wonderful food grown by a caring determined family. There are so many things you can do with this on farm store. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Erin just leads the charmed life. Kids must be well behaved and such. How do I know? Erin always looks well rested.
That's exciting news Erin! So glad for you! I think this is a natural progression and a great opportunity to involve the kids and teach them about business, responsibilities, interaction with people etc. at your own pace. Good luck and I look forward to following your adventure!
Thanks for watching! -Erin
I am so happy for you Erin. And watching you talk about the whole process was like seeing a completely different you. Your passion and fear and joy all came through. Congratulations! Well done.
I wish you guys the very best of luck on the new venture! You're both hard working folks with genuine personalities and a kick ass channel! Lucky kids to have great parents!
We're lucky to have such great kids! Thanks for watching! -Erin
Way to go Erin!!!! How hard you and Mike work it will all work out even if it isn't the way you planned it originally. Thank you guys for being an inspiration to others to follow their dreams and putting your family as a priority.
Family definitely is the most important! Thanks for watching! -Erin
CONGRATULATIONS EIRN!!!!!! So proud of you as a woman, a wife, and a mom! I can tell how scared you are but we are all afraid of change and the unknown. I feel that after the first few weeks you will settle into a routine that will be great for everyone. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congrats Erin, nothing will replace the time spent with the kids.
Great announcement! Many blessings to your wonderful young family.
As somebody who has followed since around 5k subscribers, it's been great to watch y'all grow. It's crazy to get a little emotional about a UA-cam video from someone you've never met, but there it is. I feel like I know you, and I know I'm not alone in that. Hoping your successes surprise you.
What a good idea! I know you'll make it a grand success. Good for you, Erin!
Erin you're the best. Best wishes with your new market.
Outstanding Erin...best of luck with the grand opening...you stand to gain a lot from this endeavor I,m sure
You have a passion for this and you’ve been extremely successful in your past endeavors. You’ll do great and I don’t think you’ll be sorry that you did it! You’ll probably question why you didn’t do it sooner! Good luck!
Awesome news. One other thing that having your own farmers market at the ranch is that your customers will e able to see where the it produce and meats are grown at. Maybe even have a small tour for some. Keep up the great work. God bless you and your family.
Congratulations Erin on your new adventure in expanding the business! Hoping it works out so well you have to expand before next season.
Proud of you for believing in yourself! Take that leap and fly!
Good luck with everything, Erin! Keeping fingers crossed!
Mother of God WHO AND WHY THE THUMB DOWN!! Reveal yourself NOW!! Otherwise, can't say that the announcement surprises me........sounds like an obvious next move for you, Erin. Can't wait to see what your market, both inside and out, actually looks like. I think your 4 days/week is very smart on a number of levels. Two questions; you mentioned your decision to leave your 'job in town.' I'm curious as to what you were doing for work, and silly as it sounds..........you also mentioned watering and sprinklers for your 8,000 sq ft........is this well water? Wyoming being rather arid relative to irrigation and farming....... Very much looking forward to your videos getting this venture up and running........"build it and they will come....."
Erin, you can still put up your tent at the end of the shed for your customers. Only now, you can leave it up instead of having to take it down all the time. It will give you more room to display your produce & free up space inside the shed for freezers, your baked goods & your scale & cash register. Maybe you could get Mike to finish the interior with pallet wood to give it a rustic look (and pallets are free at a lot of places). Just some suggestions, I'm glad the one I gave Mike about loading the pigs worked out. If you had enough traffic on your road you could really expand that operation. Might have to get more bacon seeds 🐖 next year if this venture works out for you 😂😂😂. You could also sell plant starts. Ok, I'll shut up now. Hope everything goes well. See you on the next video.
Wish you all the best Erin! Major changes are always scary but I'm sure you'll put in the hard work to prevail.
This is exciting! I'm excited to see you two growing this operation and seeing your children learn along with you. Some day I would like to have a roadside stand too!
Hi again! Congrats Erin on your new venture! I have no doubt it will be a success and be a special thing for the whole family in many ways. Turn your fears into positive energy for finishing your store and getting it open. Then transfer all the energy you devoted to the in town market to your very own market at home. It always takes a bit of time to get rolling but you'll be a hit before you know it!!!! I look forward to following your new journey Erin as you realize your dream come true!!! Happy Easter and God's blessings...
Congrats and the best of luck Erin, it’s a excellent idea.
Congrats Erin
This is cool! I'm glad this was something that you built to be able to be a family supporter. So much work and progress in these years.
Don’t worry Erin everything will be fine you will be successful, god will always have y’all in his hands
Oh, Mike & Erin, Easter is a weekend of new beginnings, all new things start in the spring guys! Come on take a look at all this things you fight. Just roll with the New God Bless and Happy Easter weekend to your family!
What a wonderful venture for u and your family,good luck.
Honey I am so proud of you and I wish you all the luck in the world on running your Market God bless you both and thank you for what you do
Really excited my wife and I are road tripping from Washington to Yellowstone on to my Rushmore and back we will be able to pick some stuff up!!!
Best of luck to you Erin and Mike .I think you will be great.wish I lived around the area would be fun to see your store and the ranch.
Great to see you guys moving to the next step. I think this is going to be a huge success. Best of luck.
Good for you&congratulations!
Well I hope and pray you knock it out of the park Miss Erin. you work really hard and deserve to make the changes. I think you will do just fine.
Great move!!! Family first!!! Be praying for y'all!
Do check in to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
for your store if you have not done so yet. The ACT is in all states.
We are working on it! Thanks for watching! -Erin
You can tell this is close to your heart. I wish you success in your new adventure.
Congratulations!! My parents had a small store in our little home town. I loved coming home from school knowing they would be home. I was able to learn a lot from them while working with them on the weekends. Time spent with them in the store wasn't always easy but it was time well spent!
Seems like a perfect idea. You'll be able to sell more than just 4 hours on Saturday. Once your customers get used to your new location, they will come. Once I retire and get on the road in my RV, I plan on coming by to spend some money.
Come on by!! Thanks for watching! -Erin
I thought it was going to be opening a Bed & Breakfast out of the house you were renovating. Maybe that's already in operation. I think the Farm Store is going to be a lot of work, too, but you won't have to cart the stuff in and out, and set up a tent. We took a building like you put down and finished the inside. It is now my craft building mainly for quilt making. Good luck with your endeavor!
That is great guys! May it be very successful! If we are ever down that way we'll make sure to stop by and grab some goods!
It is a scary thing, to take that step. I would love to have a place to go during the week. I'm always missing the farmers market. Like you said, everything happens on Saturday. I know at least those like me will love it! Any one in the colorado jeffco area listening? lol... Good luck! Hugs and Prayers ya'll
Wishing you all the best! Congratulations!
Good luck!!! I think this will be a great move for you! I think if your going to be open 4 days a week, your going to need to raise more than 10 pigs a year! I think your meat sales will go through the roof!!
Good for you Erin. God has your back don't worry. God bless
I understand your point of not wanting to go really on Saturday because it takes away from the family but on the other hand keep in mind that is when the working-class have time to shop. that was a statement in general now I was not doing any personal attacks on anyone because I know how people get easily offended on UA-cam and Facebook and other social media but I find that is the time that people have free time to go about and go shopping use on Saturday and Sunday because most people aren't working on Saturday and Sunday
Erin, you are a remarkably lovely person. You are a success, an inspiration, a model wife, mother, daughter etc. I may just have to take a drive from North Idaho to Gillette, WY to shop at your store and meet you. Except for being in my mid 70's I'd be threre in a flash!!!
Best of health and fortune. BLESS YOU...
That’s awesome!!!! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations guys! I'm looking froward to seeing how this works out for ya. I have no doubt that it will! If we're ever making our way through those parts, we'll make sure to stop in and buy some goods!
Best of luck to you! Keep us posted on your progress!
Thrilled to see you guys opening a new chapter in your lives! Wishing you much success!!!!
How neat! Very excited to stop by! Just found you on youtube, and am local!
We will be here :) _ Mike
First of all, your a beautiful woman, inside and out. Your dedication to your children is warming. I wish you did mail order but maybe one day! Good luck Erin!
Congratulations!!!
I agree Erin through caution to the wind and just have fun sweetie. It will work out.
Congratulations on your new venture
Congrats Erin! Now, when Mike starts selling quarter beef and half hogs on the ranch you two will be in 'hog heaven'. Eliminating the middle man is a win/win situation for the consumer and the producer. Wish I lived closer! It's a 'fer' piece (Goober Pyle talk) to drive from Olympia, WA. The very best of luck and may you have a HAPPY EASTER!
Happy Easter and thanks for watching! -Erin
wow that is great. I used to sell at the farmers market and it really is a lot of work and takes so much time! I think you will do great, God Bless yall
I'm so happy for you guys!
This is the first video I've watched that is mostly you, Erin. It's nice to learn more about you and where you started with your farm enterprise. Best wishes for success with your farm store!
Thanks Jennifer!! -Erin
I’ve watch y’all sense the beginning, and my excited to see you taking big steps to in your life for you children.
You make me want to strive to be better with my son and new baby on the way, in our family farm.
Best wishes to you and God Bless.
Onwards to the next phase of the OWL Farm store! I approve of the Spirit of the adventure! Best to you all.
Lots of blessings on you!
Congratulations !!!!! Should be lines around the building 👍🏻
We will be driving from Las Vegas to come check out the new store !!!! Thank you for your time !!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Congrats! Best of luck and I am praying for your success!
Congrats Erin i wish you the very best of luck with your new shop i think your going to be very successful
Congratulations on your newest change.. Best Wishes! I'm excited!
your work ethic is impeccable ... which is why you will succeed in your new venture
Erin, I have no doubt you will be a huge success!
Thanks David, I appreciate it! -Erin
What a great new adventure! And family first! Great environment for such a great new endeavor!
Congrats and best of luck with your new venture!
Fantastic, very excited for you guys. That’s a big step, best of luck!
Congrats on your new Venture. I could see a big Patio outside that building with some permanent tables set for your new customers. Roadside business has been big in all parts of the country. Then think shipping for your customers far and wide!
Awesome video if I didn't live so far away I'd come to get some things and visit
I wasn't sure how far out of town you were , but I had thought about how cool it would be if you had a road side store. I have heard truck's in the back ground going by. Best of luck Erin and Mike . I'm betting you'll do fine.
Fantastic!
Thanks for watching! -Erin
