Behind Wild Willows

Randee grew up on a small dairy farm in Ohio, where she spent her childhood surrounded  by cows and rabbits. She proudly showed these animals at county, district, state, and  national events, forming lifelong friendships in the process. The lessons she learned on the  farm have shaped who she is today, and she’s committed to passing that knowledge on to  her children. She wants them to appreciate where their food comes from, understand the  importance of hard work, prioritize the needs of others (including animals), and care for  them as God intended—with plenty of love and treats. 

Randee’s passion for education shines through in her choice to homeschool her children.  She loves sharing knowledge about animals, gardening, canning, and homebirth, among  other topics. With a growing concern about the lack of understanding regarding food  sources—like the myth that chocolate milk comes from brown cows—she is driven to  teach children and the community about animals and the products they provide.
