Happy Sunday, friends 🤍


Halfway through January… and I’ve already missed some of my goals. If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. This week here at Wieczorek Farms is already full — and heavy in places.

Three days of STL trips for Keaton’s chemo treatments. Long drives, long waits, long prayers. Coming home to play catch-up around the house while farm life keeps moving right along.

And in the middle of it all, I’m still showing up where I can — learning a new editing software (with a MacBook that loves to test my patience), working through the early weeks of the 52-Week Dirt Road Anthem Project, and reminding myself that slow progress is still progress.


This Sunday morning looks like coffee, quiet, and God.
Not because I’ve stayed perfectly on track — but because I haven’t.


Here’s the truth I keep coming back to this week: A reset doesn’t mean you failed. It means you paused long enough to realign.

God doesn’t measure our faith by how well we keep a schedule. He meets us right where we are — tired, hopeful, behind, starting again.

So today isn’t about catching up. It’s about letting go.

Letting go of pressure.
Letting go of shame.
Letting go of the idea that growth has to look perfect to count.


If you’re feeling behind halfway through this month, consider this your permission slip to start again — right now. 


With grace,
Kayla 🤍

Merry Christmas from our little corner of the dirt road — from our farm family to yours.

As the barn settles into the quiet of winter and the glow of Christmas lights reflects off frosted gates as we chore this morning, my heart feels heavier and fuller all at the same time. This year has stretched us, tested us, humbled us, and strengthened us in ways I never imagined — and through it all, you have been there.

Your prayers.
Your messages.
Your comments.
Your kindness.

They mattered more than you will ever know.

This year wasn’t wrapped up neatly with a bow. It came with uncertainty, long days, longer nights, doctor appointments mixed in with chores, and moments where grit had to meet grace head-on. There were days we showed up tired, worried, and carrying burdens no one could see — yet still fed cattle, checked water, baled & hauled hay, and kept going because farm life doesn’t pause for hardship.

And neither does God’s faithfulness.

Through every season this year, we felt carried — not just by our faith, but by the community that surrounds this farm and this story. You’ve walked this dirt road with us. You’ve stood with us in prayer. You’ve reminded us we weren’t alone when the load felt heavy.

Farming has a way of stripping life down to what matters most. Family. Faith. Showing up. Doing the next right thing — even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. And Christmas has a way of gently reminding us that grace shows up quietly… in barns, in hospital hallways, in late-night prayers, and in the love of people who choose to care.

This Christmas, we are choosing gratitude.

Grateful for health reports we prayed hard for.
Grateful for strength on the days we didn’t think we had any left.
Grateful for dirt roads that lead us home.
Grateful for a God who meets us right where we are.
And deeply grateful for you, this community that continues to lift us up.

As we head into the final days of the year and look toward what God is preparing next, we carry hope with us — rooted deep like the winter triticale, waiting patiently for the next season to grow.

From our farm family here at Wieczorek Farms, and from my heart through Chronicles of Kayla — thank you for loving us, supporting us, and believing in this journey.

May your Christmas be filled with peace, warmth, faith, and the quiet joy that comes from knowing you are never walking alone.



Merry Christmas 🤍
With love, grit, and grace,
Kayla, Jason, Keaton & Jaelyn

A Lot to Be Thankful For

{Happy Thanksgiving 2025!}



Thankfulness hits a little deeper this year.



Maybe it’s the way the sun has been settlely across the fields…

Maybe it’s the quiet moments before the house wakes up…

Or maybe it’s simply because when you look back at the last twelve months, you realize how much God has carried you through.



A year ago, our world cracked open with Keaton’s cancer diagnosis. Words we never thought we’d hear. A fear we never thought we’d face. And then this past July—another moment that brought us to our knees—a near-life-threatening turn we will forever remember as the day God stepped in between us and the unthinkable.



And here we stand today.

Still fighting.

Still praying.

Still celebrating every bit of progress.

Still watching Keaton prove every doctor, every statistic, and every expectation wrong.



But that’s only part of the story.



While navigating hospital halls and treatment rooms, life on the farm didn’t slow down. Somehow—by grit, stubborn faith, and a whole lot of help—we baled the most we’ve ever put up: 62,000 small squares. A number that doesn’t even feel real. A number that reminds us how God strengthens tired hands and keeps families moving forward, even in seasons we don’t understand.



Sharing our life on social media has never been about a perfectly framed snapshot or a catchy caption. It’s never been about numbers, likes, or trends.

It’s about showing the real:

Faith in the fire.

Family in the trenches.

Farming through the highs and lows with dirt on our boots and prayer on our lips.



It’s about letting the world see what God continues to do right here in the middle of our mess—how He uses ordinary people and everyday struggles to tell an extraordinary story.



And as we look back, the theme is crystal clear:



We are blessed. So blessed. More blessed than we deserve.



Blessed by small-town neighbors who show up without asking.

Blessed by an online community who prays us through the hardest days.

Blessed by family who loves fiercely.

Blessed by friends who refuse to let us walk alone.

Blessed by strangers who felt like angels at just the right time.

Blessed by every moment God proves He is still working, still healing, still writing our story.



So today, we say thank you.



Thank you to every single one of you who has wrapped our family in prayer, support, encouragement, and unshakable love.

Thank you for cheering on Keaton, for believing in miracles, and for lifting us when our knees felt weak.

Thank you for reminding us—through your kindness—that community is one of God’s greatest gifts.



We have a lot to be thankful for.

And a lot to keep fighting for.

And we’re grateful you’re walking this road with us.



Happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours.

May your heart be full, your table be warm, and your blessings be many.



Xo,

Kayla, Jason, Keaton & Jaelyn

🌾 When the Dust Settles 🌾

| A Dirt Road Anthem Reflection |

Cancer has a way of wrecking more than just a body. It shakes your faith, your peace, and your sense of normal. It’s changed the rhythm of our farm, our family, and the way I see every sunrise.

The unknown has become a constant companion. Every doctor’s visit, every lab result, every scan carries the weight of what if. It’s hard to breathe sometimes, living in the tension of fear and hope. And somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t really living anymore — I was just holding my breath.

For months, I’ve carried the fear so tightly that it drowned out everything else — laughter, joy, peace. But even in the storm, God’s hand has been steady.

Since July, Keaton has continued to prove every single doctor wrong. Every milestone, every smile, every good report is a reminder that God is not finished writing his story — or ours.

🌾

The quiet after hay season brought more than rest — it brought reflection.
Cancer has changed our family, our faith, and our farm. But in the wreckage, I’ve found a new kind of hope.

Read the newest Dirt Road Anthem blog, “When the Dust Settles,” and see how God’s been meeting us in the middle of fear, faith, and healing.

💛

“Even in the dust, God is working.”

It’s been a while since I’ve felt the urge to really open up & share. To pick up the camera. To edit & post. It’s hard to feel positive on days that feel like you’re drowning …

Out here, life isn’t always picture-perfect. Some days the hay won’t dry, the rain won’t stop, and the to-do list feels longer than a dirt road in July. But this life — this beautiful, messy, holy life — is where God keeps showing up.

You see, for a long time, I thought I had my path all figured out. The fields I’d work, the future I’d build, the way things were supposed to go. But the thing about walking with God? He’s not afraid to change the map.

Sometimes, His plan looks nothing like what we planted. Sometimes He says, “I need you to pivot.” And if you’re anything like me, that can be hard. Because I’m a farmer — I like to plan, to prepare, to plant in straight rows. But faith? Faith asks us to step out even when we can’t see where the road bends next.

There have been seasons where I’ve cried out, “Lord, why this way? Why now?” And somewhere between the sunrise chores and the quiet of the barn, I’ve learned — He’s never late. He’s never wrong. He’s just rerouting me toward something better.

This space — this channel — is for all of us walking those dirt roads. For the farmers, the moms, the dreamers, the ones who’ve been told, “You’re going the wrong way,” but deep down know God’s hand is still on the wheel.

Here, I’ve shared stories from the farm, from family life, and from faith — the good, the gritty, and the grace-filled moments in between. Because every bale, every burden, every blessing — it’s all part of His plan.

So if your path has taken a turn lately — if you’re wondering what God’s doing with the detour — you’re in the right place. We’ll walk this road together, one dusty step at a time. Because out here, on the dirt road, we find that the destination isn’t always the point. It’s the faith we grow along the way.

So grab your coffee, pull up a bale, and join me for God’s Path on the Dirt Road. I’m Hay Queen Kayla — and these are the Chronicles of Kayla.

You want to know an honest truth?!?!


I haven’t opened my computer for almost a month. I’m not even sure it’s plugged in or charged. I’ve filmed bits and pieces of life the last few months but to be blunt. I’m tired. I haven’t been sharing much …. At first it bothered me.

To not show up. Not share. To not let the world see what was happening around the farm and day to day life. I felt like I was disappointing my followers. I was carting around this extra weight of not “showing up” for people who only know me through a screen.


It’s been an extremely hard year for our family. So when hay season ended I told myself. I needed a break — mentally, physically but emotionally too. I needed to breathe. To set some healthy boundaries for myself. And simply take some time away.


For months I’ve felt this pivotal pool of redirection. That God was sending me down a different road — I just had no idea what that looked like. It scared me shitless. Walking into the unknown with Keaton. Wondering where our family and farm was headed. Not knowing but just having to trust in Gods plans. His healing. His time.


This past month, I’ve put the baler away, baling 62,000 small squares - we’ve worked dirt. We’ve planted. Jason’s helped during corn harvest, I’ve put soooooo many miles on the truck with Keaton. We had surprise fall calves & a bottle baby to tend too. We brought in new heifers & a project that at one moment I thought “Kayla WTH were you thinking”. I turned down my dream FFA Advisor job with our school district because our family & farm are still my top priority right now. And that was hard to stomach.


But I do know. I’m thankful every day for the followers who’ve stuck with us. The community I’ve built along the way. & the people who support us in ways they don’t even know. I can’t say what’s ahead for 2026 … other than it’s Gods way going forward 🤍 but I feel the itch to write again … I feel the need to share our story & how trusting in the unknown changes your life.



Until next time 🤍
- a tired hay Queen 👑

Chronicles of Kayla

I’ve learned over the years, sometimes the hardest way, that the opinions of others will come and go.


People will talk | Good. Bad. Indifferent. — But talking regardless.


They’ll judge. They’ll assume. They’ll fill your head with unsolicited advice …. But at the end of the day, they’re not the ones writing my story, or the choices I have to live with.


Only one voice matters. Only one judgment holds weight. And that’s God’s. When you solely focus on Gods voice, the noise of the world starts to fade. The pressure lifts. And the need to prove yourself to the world disappears. I’m not here to meet a man’s expectations (because for years I did that - - trying to run in a man’s world, helping to build this business. And giving everything I have into it) — to still be questioned because I’m simply his *wife*.


It took me a long time to realize what Gods purpose for me here was … and honestly there’s days I still ask Him “what does He want from me” —- but I know I was out here for a purpose. I am here to walk in the calling God placed on my life, one dusty dirt path,one field, one challenge, one purpose-driven day at a time. Keep your eyes on Him and your heart steady. The rest will fall into place. And if it doesn’t. It wasn’t ment to be anyway.


🤍🤍🤍

He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
~ Micah 6:8
