Real Farm Days
Welcome to Real Farm Days, a family-run farm in West Michigan that’s been worked by the same family for over 100 years. We’re the fourth generation to carry on the legacy — planting, harvesting, and rebuilding this land one season at a time.
Here you’ll find the real side of farming — no edits, no filters, just work.
We film every day on the farm exactly as it happens: long, uncut videos that capture the rhythm, sweat, and satisfaction of real farm life.
We’re growing:
🌻 Flowers – sunflowers, zinnias, dahlias, and more for our roadside stand
🎃 Pumpkins – multiple varieties for fall harvest and local sales
🌶 Hot Peppers & Herbs – for future farm-made products
🔥 Firewood – as we develop a full-scale wood business for our community
From planting seeds and cutting wood to restoring old farm buildings, every video shows what it’s really like to build and run a small family farm in West Michigan.
Our goal is simple:
To honor the generations before us, preserve this land as a farm.
