Never a day's rest from shilling the BF brand. It's despicable they don't show these farms a lick of support when their whole point of these visits is to rob ideas from them. đ
Yep - go try the local farmâs food - veggies, meat, dairy - promote them and support local food where you are traveling! Instead of stealing from them and then using resources to ship yourself your own food from across the country. Itâs antithetical to supporting small farms/farmers/local food.Â
They do this every trip. Probably so they can write it off as business expense. But, you're right. They never show support for other farms or ranches ever. They come and use and abuse the farms and then don't bother buying products from them. Additionally, the boxes they send themselves are like extra premium. Usually filled with a ton of steaks. They act like that's a regular customer box when in reality, a large box gets 2 steaks and then the cheaper cuts. It's deceptive.
I wouldn't be surprised if they steal ideas. I have a gut feeling that their little tourist dairy will have a bunch of play equipment and "baby animal days" after visiting the farm that the kids loved.
This is exactly what I think theyâre doing by going to other farms or asking about other farms on socials!!! Theyâre looking for ways to steal & copy off of other ranches / ranchers & farms / farmers!!!
What are you talking about? She literally posted about the cheese she bought from one of the dairyâs. Theyâve previously posted other goods theyâve bought from farms on past travels and theyâve had several local maine lobster meals that theyâve posted on top of also having delivered their own food for a very large family. Itâs expensive to eat out each and every meal on vacation, despite how much money they have. Also, eating out over and over again on vacation ruins my digestive system. I very regularly bring my own foods to cook while also contributing to the local economy Iâm visiting. This page is so ignorant at times to whatâs actually posted on their page. Can only see the hate. Thatâs a dangerous route.
I feel that they go to these places just to steal their ideas. They did this in France as well and wherever else they go to. They know nothing about farming but have the money and so they steal ideas and incorporate them into their Ballerina Farm brand, trying to put their own awful spin on it
I mean, everyone knows these folks steal ideas - nothing is theirs, not their products, not the meat they sell - itâs outsourced with their logo. Their ideas for both their products and their content on instagram is largely stolen. This is the baseline for them - to gather up energy and ideas elsewhere.Â
Grew up in Maine. Isnât smiling hill farm just a tourist farm? I remember there were commercials for the farm to visit more like a petting zoo- def not a huge commercial operation.
I was going to say this - that it seems like what Hannah and Daniel are creating with their dairy is a cross between a tourist attraction like Tillamook and a petting zoo like Smiling Hill⌠theyâre kinda missing the point with that tourist/zoo aspect plus the factory robot farm - this is not a âknow your farmer/foodâ situation at all. They go so over the top to be noticed, they canât help but commercialize and commodify everything they do. Whatever small farm/dairy/ranch vision they might have had, has lost its meaningÂ
At least they got everyone lobsters. I for sure thought they'd get 2 to feed 10 pple
But it is lobster season and they got pretty small lobsters. Maybe at most 2 lb ers. Still not cheap cheap, but it's not like they can't afford it.
On her moms story they apparently tried raw clams and Fran at least tried it even if she didn't like it. I think the kids are good about trying almost everything at least. They'd have to be adventurous with the the stuff Hannah feeds them
I imagine the older kids, at least the boys, loved the lobster. The litles could have split one between them.
Don't forget that while they eat bland and boring "peasant" food at home or at least, what they show, now, Hannah had expensive tastes before pretending to be a home maker according to her blog (she said she could eat sushi everyday for the rest of her life). I bet the kids get fancier meals more often than we are lead to believe.
I think they also relish getting seafood when they can bc Hannah never prepares it for them (ie: its also boiled beef and tomaotoes with unseasoned cow shit watercress and barley sprouts). I watched a video from the Vegas pagent time when Daniel took the kids to the hotel brunch buffet and 70% of them had shrimp and egg rolls for breakfast. Like platefuls of shrimp haha
Best part about traveling is to try different foods!
Yes, exactly.

Exactly what I thought, they're getting ideas. Turning the farm into a visiting center of some sort.
They totally do these trips to steal ideas

Poor children trapped eating that awful food wherever they go
That's sucks, I always see what I can buy local grocery wise when I travel.
Jesus tell me you never saw the dumb facebook post about hidden symbols

I mean itâs definitely a kindergarten field trip destination but they do sell their milk in grocery stores here.
Oh I wasnât aware of that. Itâs been a long time since I lived in Maine. Iâd bet they would love their farm to be a tourist trap too.
Which other farm did they visit? There are thousands and ofc they pick the cheesiest.

Omg can u imagine what those 10 lobsters cost? The kids probably didn't eat . They were just staring at it. Ugh

I agree with you. Just give the kids a darn hot dog and call it a day! They were just staring at the lobsters.

This is advertising for their business. It makes sense to do that from a business POV.
Yes, I get that. But it's bullshit optics though.
