About Farmwives & Co.

We were both born in the Midwest, Jenna the daughter of a dairy farmer and Alicen the daughter of a grain farmer. We married berry-farming brothers within a year of each other, moved west to Oregon’s Willamette Valley, got settled and started our families. Thus began a wonderful sister-in-law friendship. Living just across the berry field from each other means we spend a lot of time together. Nearly every day finds our kids conniving to meet up, and we are usually only too happy to oblige. We spend our days making meals, working in the garden, wiping dirty faces, grimy hands and snotty noses, singing lullabies, practicing spelling words, reading children’s stories and trying, by God’s grace, to “train up our children in the way they should go.” Our greatest desire is that we can share the love of Jesus with others, as it has been shared by others with us. In moments of spare time, surrounded by our passel of children (11 between us), we created a cookbook celebrating the favorite recipes and memories of our in-laws’ family’s childhood growing up as a family of 12 children on an Oregon berry farm. Authentic and unpretentious, full color photos and step-by-step recipe instructions are intertwined with family memories, making this cookbook sure to become a dog-eared favorite in your kitchen. We've slowly (remember, 11 children?) ventured into tea towels. Sign up for our quarterly newsletter on our site (farmwivesandco.com/newsletter) keep up with any new products!Read their story
