“Frenchie Farm started with our two French Bulldogs who were having a lot of health issues at the time,” says farm founder and homesteader Colleen Hinds. “So we made a big lifestyle shift for our dogs and for ourselves to achieve more of a healthy lifestyle.”<\/p>\n

After founding Frenchie Farm<\/a> in the suburbs of Chicago, Hinds noticed a significant improvement in the health of her dogs. And since then Hinds and her family have embraced a more holistic lifestyle through practicing regenerative farming methods.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately we wanted to be able to produce as much of our own food as possible,” she explains.<\/p>\n

Taking a moment out from homestead duties and teaching farm classes for the community’s kids, we spoke to Hinds about embracing sustainable practices and restoring a farmhouse from the 1800s. We also got the scoop on a couple of escape artist cattle.<\/p>\n
