Four years ago, Julie Ann “Jake” Keiser was a self-described workaholic. She owned her own public relations firm in Tampa Bay, Florida, and earned a six-figure salary. She partied every weekend, got Botox regularly, wore Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and traveled the world. But no matter where she was — Greece, St. Barts, Hawaii — she felt empty.


So Keiser, 43, bought a farm in Oxford, Mississippi, where she now lives and makes her living. She no longer owns an alarm clock. “I wake up to either the sun or the animals yelling at me,” she says. Instead of driving through stressful city traffic, her commute consists of walking outside.

“I envision a Disney farm where everyone wears pink bows and sparkles, and sings to me,” says Keiser. Daffodil Hill farm is still a work in progress, but its signature femininity is unabashed. She only keeps Sebastopol geese, which have voluminous curly feathers. Her chickens, named Prada, Dior, and Fendi, are the rare "lemon pyle" Brahma breed, so named for the subtle blonde hue of their feathers. Her Mini Alpine dairy goats are Valentino and Chloé (Notice a pattern?) — Chloé, the girl, wears a pink collar.

Keiser admits she was terrified to move to the proverbial middle of nowhere alone, but she decided she couldn’t put her life on hold anymore waiting for the right guy to come along. For her and many of Instagram’s #GirlFarmers, who leave their fabulous city hustles for slower, simpler, and much more Instagrammable lives, hatching flourishing farms without a man’s help feels like an empowering exercise in independence. #GirlFarmers have become a sisterhood: They forge friendships online, and swap tips on how to milk a goat or build a chicken coop, applying that same ambition that made them so successful in their past city lives to farming.

“I wanted that prince to come along and rescue me from everything, but I feel better that I did it my fucking self,” says Keiser. The tagline of her blog includes “seeking self-reliance” for good reason: “If the power goes out in winter, I know how to build a fire from scratch. If my well has an issue, I can go down to the pond, break up some ice, heat it up in my fireplace, and feed the animals. I've got milk from the goats and eggs from the chickens,” she says. “There’s power in that.”

For Keiser, romantic relationships always seemed to end with heartbreak. She got divorced in her late 20s, suffered multiple miscarriages, and went through a big breakup in her late 30s. “I gave myself to my pregnancies, I gave myself to my man,” she says. “But I lost myself.”

Keiser’s aha moment came one quiet night at her Tampa apartment, when she realized she was simultaneously watching Entertainment Tonight, reading a magazine, and playing solitaire on her phone: “I was trying to distract myself from the fact that I was dying inside.”

For a long time, she'd been yearning for a more down-to-earth lifestyle, one where she felt “present.” She started with an herb garden on her window sill (overlooking a major highway below), then started dreaming of owning her own farm. Before their breakup, Keiser says her boyfriend asked her, "'Why are you looking at chickens online? You're freaking me out.’”

On a trip to visit her dad and stepmom in Oxford, she decided she’d retire there in 20 years to her dream farm, continue http://datingelationship..com.ng/2017/01/this-women-gave-up-6-figure-salaries-to.html

Livestock business is good, big and interesting business.
If we have sensible government that can start kick it, many unemployed persons to be doing the business it would be good.

Even nigerians farmers can be exporting their animals abroad.
But we dont have sensible leaders in nigeria. That is the number one problem.

Oh, we dont have leaders like the sophisticated obafemi awolowo.
