Do people have a first date on V Day?

Comments

  1. It's highly unlikely that there's any "date." Just recall the mystery "coast girl" last year. She wasn't seen in any of the ocean pics that the FFF posted. JFW would've bragged about her online, and also shown carefully curated images. Just like she does with her "livestock" and adventures on Instagram.

    1. Another thing about that coastal trip is how she managed it without a cellphone. How did she call her "date" once she arrived to her town? It's not like pay phones are everywhere like they used to be. Thus, the possibility that she was alone and had to ask strangers to take those beach pics.

    2. We've seen her with a cellphone around town. So she's a huge hypocrite and liar.

  2. Perhaps they will have their first date at a "state agency" reporting more "harrassment."

    You know, by those annoying folks who want the drawings they paid for and are waiting on. It's so annoying how people insist on getting what they paid for and promised.
    Like the $15,000 taken from the book kickstarter..

    Too bad she didn't report that the horses are trapped inside a frozen gate and have been forced to eat their food on top of the piles of horse shit that hasn't been cleaned out because she is too busy whining on every available platform on social media.

    1. WDH. Exactly. That was well-put as always from you.

    2. Interesting that she has so much harassment to report....and so often. Note to Jenna: It's not them. The problem is with YOU.

      IF she really did go to her state police, I wonder how hard they LOL'd after she left.

  3. First: a PSA for new readers.

    Cold Antler Sham Truths (et. al.) comments on farm living and public social media posts that discuss rural living. Our topics are varied and include gardening, foraging, animal husbandry, graphics and cooking/crafts. We enjoy satire and humorous posts. We may discuss people who advertise themselves as "public figures", run businesses (no matter how ineptly), keep animals as social media props and neglect those same animals (or provide lesser care) because animal welfare isn't nearly as important as carefully created "false narratives" about animal welfare.

    What sort of public claims might get our attention? They vary, but false public statements and inaccurate/changing stories are apt to be of interest. Some examples:

    *If you repeatedly post that you live on the side of the mountain - in the wilds - with the strong suggestion that your remote lifestyle has few amenities...but the reality is you live near a trendy weekender community, with close neighbors and adjacent to a main road;

    *If you promote meat sales by stating your animals are raised humanely and organically...but the reality is multiple public posts that reveal a long history of untimely deaths, preventable accidents and an animal diet that includes discarded commercial deli food.

    *If you wax poetically about your animals…but we read posts that show neglect, unacceptable animal care (electro-shocking pigs for spite), and lack of overall quality care; and

    *If you repeatedly claim that you cannot work away from your home because the farm needs you and that you earn too much money to take outside employment...but you often leave the property to hike or take day-trips and then you lament your lack of money and repeatedly broadcast questionable crises to ask for donations /pity purchases.

    All this - and more - may be open for a chat.

  4. Excuse the PSA if you've been around and this is old news. I was thinking a reminder of why the Fake Feral Farmer may be discussed is a good thing to have near the top of each thread.

  5. Great post PDD and thank you. I'm sure we do get a lot of new people here and it's good for them to see right up front, what a shammer/fleecer/animal abuser Jenna Woginrich really is. HD, is there a way to put this as a static placeholder at the top?

    1. Anon 12:47, I love the idea of a placeholder, but perhaps a better Shammer could take a crack at it. I didn't mention the many scams and poor customer relations: OakPaw without full delivery of paid-for art; wool shares for sheep wool that was only suited to carpets; unfulfilled CSAs; Etsy complaints; video subscribers left in the lurch; unfulfilled seminars and, of course, the infamous Birchthorne.

      Delete
    2. I recall that on the other site it was also discussed, and someone even volunteered to do it. A "static placeholder" or timeline is a great idea to track all of JFW's lies, scams and animal abusing. Otherwise, newbies won't know where to start.

  6. Twit Shit:

    "The good news is my truck repairs are paid off and the truck is at y farm, runs, and here and whole! The bad news is after repairs and bills I am only a 1/4 of the way towards a house payment and the month is halfway over. Going to be promoting A LOT today! I got pork, soap, art!"

    What's "y farm"? Describing her truck as "and here and whole!" is a weird way to talk about a vehicle named Taylor (Swift). What an immature ditz. It's obvious that she's trolling, again, for more money. Which she does almost daily. JFW acts like this is something new to February. But she lives with one constant crisis after another on a monthly basic (teeth needs fixing, power got shut off, almost out of firewood etc...). Once again, we have her infamous "I am only 1/4 of the way..." It's a technique that liars use a lot. I've never seen anyone else online break her financial needs down into fractions like the FFF. She also mentions that "the month is halfway over" to instill a false sense of panic among her followers. When it's her own damn responsibility to be held accountable as an adult to support herself. Her "promoting" is pleading for funds. I'm surprised that she didn't include her PayPal link. Cue: 5, 4, 3... "Donate, bitches!!!"

    2. What I'm curious about is why she's not whining about the cold and ranting about frozen pipes this year. Is this winter in her area warmer than it was the past few years when she blegged daily about the below zero temps and reported frozen toilets? Or did she decide to drop that strategy as it didn't work very well for her?

    3. It’s been a very mild winter, very little snowfall and above average temps. But temps will be cold Friday so I’m sure you’ll hear about it.

    5. "Winter's Bottom" is back. (That could be the title of a sleazy lesbian novel that she might write. Kind of like the weird werewolf one that she was nattering on about.)

    6. The Pig Shocker definitely reads this blog. Looky what she wrote in her latest bleg post:

      "I have been really lucky this winter with the plumbing. I am hoping that luck continues a few more days!"

      You hear that, guys? The weather may turn bad, so get yer wallets ready cuz her pipes will no doubt freeze in just a few days time! And you know, it's always up to us to save her!!

  7. From the latest bleg post about her friend Patty:

    "She talked me down, leaning her calm and kind arms on the driver’s side door through the open window. [...] We got into her farmhouse and she let me cry it out. [...] She helped me get hay for my animals and loaded it into her truck, and she drove me to get anything else I needed in town while I didn’t have a vehicle. She took me home to my farm and helped me unload and stack the hay out of the weather."

    Yeah, I'm sure that's how Patty envisioned spending her weekend. Having to calm down an anxiety riddled woman-child. Driving around a hapless and helpless fully grown adult. Fixing her truck AND doing chores for an able-bodied cry baby.

    And what's this crap about writing a book that will not only pay off her mortgage...but also provide a luxury retirement for Mark and Patty? Yeah, good luck with that.

    1. all I could think was how the much the hell does she think she will make off one book? Good Lord it isn't Gone with the Wind.

    2. "I thought that got settled when he got all the contracts at the museum she worked for."

      LOL (I actually snorted). Those greedy fcuks probably spent it all on the Pig Shocker's disasters + mortgage. And that's why she feels indebted to them. But what about Ma and Pa Wog? She's not going to help her parents in their golden years? Of course not...cuz they are Republicans who she has zero respect for. Zero. Even though they raised her for 18 years and put up with her feral teenage wolf crap. Nope, they don't get shit.

    3. Anonymous 5:00. Your comment cracked me up. You're right. She acts as if her new book won't bomb like Birchthorn, and will be a bestseller. Talk about delusional. I don't see any "happy endings" happening here. I doubt that she'll even sell it. She's publishing poison now due to her bad rep online. Look how long it took her to fulfill the Kickstarter campaign pledges, and probably some of the backers still haven't received their hard copies yet. The proof is in the most current comments:

    4. If she wants a big book that will bring in the big money, she should stick to writing about what she knows: Online Grifting and Panhandling 101. Teach others how to go thru life without have a job whilst conning naive poodle fools to part with their hard-earned cash.

      Hell, even I would buy that book...just so that I could share the smarmy content with all you Shammers!

  8. Thanks for the new thread HD! And to answer your question, while it's probably not unheard of, a first date on VDay is unusual. Restaurant meal prices are typically jacked up on that day -- so you're taking a chance of wasting money on a stranger if the date goes badly.

    So if she's telling the truth, and not fabricating this date for her Lezwolfmeme followers, she'll follow up with juicy details that include wearing her edgy lemur dress! And new shoes she got for 50% off! And a brand new purse she found at the dump!! And how it just so happened to match the new shoes!! WOO-HOO!!!

    2. Being that she switches religions as often as her pipes freeze, her best bet would be to become Muslim next so she can fully cover her sorry self in a burka, thus saving the eyesight of her date. Cuz no one likes it when their eyes bleed.

    3. I recall the cowgirl skirt that a child would wear, and the ugly lemur dress which was "bought on sale!" (At a time when she was also money mooching on Twitter, and couldn't even afford her mortgage payment.) The matching yellow accessories only made the latter, odious outfit worse. I'm sure that the bile brown pleather jacket will also make an appearance. The one that's too tight, and makes her look like a stuffed sausage.

  9. I never want to wish ill on anyone's love life, because so much of my love life has royally sucked balls, but JW just posted an Instagram pic of her making a kissy face at the camera, wishing a happy valentine's day to the girl she "can't wait to go hawking with."

    If this girl is real, this is a bad omen. In my experience, the more public you are with your love life, the more likely your relationship is to go up in a spectacular blaze.

    I was never public with mine. I just dated abusive assholes for far too long. But Jenna is getting sappy and hyped and desperate, and if I were her date, I would take these publicly fawning posts as an enormous red flag.

    1. Sorry to hear that, and I hope things become better and great for you. I also saw that IG post and came here to chime in. And in case the Pig Shocker deletes it, here's what she said: "Happy Valentine's to the girl I can't wait to go hawking with - KISSES!!" (with puckered-up smoochy kissy lips)-- and here's the post in case anyone is interested:

      https://www.instagram.com/p/B8fQTEkgZCy/

      In addition to that being a huge no-fucking-way red flag, it's also mega cringe worthy. From all thats been written by her about this new "date" ...she hasn't even met her yet!! But she's telling the internet about future kisses? Gag.

      I also was expecting to see her "date" respond in the comments, but there are just two replies so far. One from Patty, and the other from that kooky boudior guy who wants to take nakey pics of Jenna. Note to Jenna's supposed date: RUN FAR AND FAST.

    2. Ooh! I just received a tweet from Ripley, who's still busy fighting aliens and dealing with all their bullshit. She wanted to know about the animal abusing hovel that is Cold Antler Farm. I gave her all the details and she sent me another tweet:

    3. That fake photo made me cringe with embarrassment for JFW. She's a sleepwalker not "woke." I think that the "date" is doomed to be a first encounter of the creepy kind.

  10. I'm sorry but reading through those lame lezwolfmemes of hers are just depressing as hell. She is trying so so hard to move in on the whole lesbian culture and act like she's so woke. But those memes are so like desperate and pathetic. Like she just bought some Guide to Lesbians and is using each defination to make up something that sounds like she's been gay for 150 years. and she lets slide all her own disappointing little encounters with her rather limited amount of experience for certain. Just makes me feel a little sad for her. Shesh.

    Time to ditch the farm, sweetheart, and move to where all the girls are. You can keep your dogs and get some little one acre subrural place to rent so you can keep your horses and hawk. I hear Columbus, Ohio is a big gay hotspot and is still cheap to live in... Or how about Provincetown, Massachusetts... another hot spot and much closer to her now. So many options!!!

    1. FarmLass - I couldn't agree with you more cuz I've been thinking the same thing. Her whole "gay pride!" thing came out of nowhere. It seems that when donation fatigue sets in, she sets her sights on another target demographic. And what you said about her trying to "sound like she's been gay for 150 years" is spot on. I'm sure there are exceptions, but most people who come out of the closet are quiet at first. But here she is, trying to shove a pride flag up all of her foollowers butts. Not cool. And as far as I know, it's the dolphin that is the lesbian animal icon. Not this wolf shizz. It's a fact that a majority of us lesbians prefer dogs. But dogs are not wolves. I think she's really reaching there.

      And the one thing that really gets me, is how for sooooo long she's touted Astrology as total and complete utter crap. But now she's screeching about how much sense it makes? Just do a search on her bleg for all her "astrology people are idiots" posts. And that's sad cuz if she wasn't an animal abuser, and I was one of her idiot foollowers, I'd send her my copy of "Astrology for Lesbians" book. As it's a really good read if you are in-the-know and need to find a way to avoid the second date U-Haul inevitability. Cheers.

    2. I literally, laughed out loud at the "Guide to Lesbians" line. When she called herself a "futch" on Instagram I groaned. She needs an "out" bumpersticker for her truck, Taylor, with "PUSSY POWER!!!" on it. The locals will love that. JFW has always been a poser. Remember her kooky kilts and the pagan phase? When I looked last year for her Ty's Good Hand site it had been deleted. I guess that it wasn't "gay enough" for her new image. Or maybe the few remaining members got sick of being used by JFW to do her "farm chores."

      Delete
    3. LS, that is what happened. Jenna had them do all sorts of chores for her and then was always whining about "her farm." I think they got tired of her bullshit and lies and disbanded.

      She is quite the poser. Always has been, always will be.

      Delete
    4. Hahaha, Tyr's Good Handout officially bit the dust? Makes total sense, as she NEVER talks about Heathenry anymore. I wonder when was the last time she placed a bowl of milk, whisky, dog hairs, body lice, and possum teeth underneath her King Maple tree? Cuz that's the kind of lame shizz she did when she first started trying to be an Instagram influencer. Oh, the memories.

  12. I just want to say that I am really impressed with the articulate, and intelligent people who come to this blog. Seriously. Not only do you see through her BS like laser vision, but you take the time to explain to new readers what is going on. Jenna is a victim in her head, and lives her life this way. The only victim in her life are her animal props and those who she takes money from.

    2. Tara left Tyler and she's out now? And then Jenna decided to "come out?" How laughable. Anyway imo, Jenna is just desperately trying to find a mate. She can see her future looming up quickly. It didn't work with guys so she's hoping it will work with women. Sad.

      I don't want to begrudge anyone finding a partner in life, however she needs to really take a good hard look at herself, her choices in life, how she spends her time, and how she treats people and animals. Truth hurts.

    3. Anonymous 7:41. JFW didn't have any long-term, romantic relationships with men that worked out, so she's trying women on now thinking that they'll be fooled by her bullshit. It also makes me annoyed how she keeps calling her date a "girl." It's dated, sexist and anti-feminist, too. It goes along with that creepy statement she once said. It was something stupid like: "It's been foretold that a virgin who hasn't seen Buffy will be my wife." She's coming across as almost being predatory with her "I'm a femme top!" label. Spouting all of the lesbian lingo in the world won't make her gayness authentic, because she's always been a poser and wannabe.

    7. It was "roughly" around the same time. If memory serves, she started hinting about her newfound sexuality before the Tara revelation. And then when Tara made that IG post, I vaguely remember wondering if that's what had inspired the Pig Shocker. She just can't do her own thing -- has to come up with new shit to increase the donations.

  14. From the attention whore's own mouth (https://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/
    Carry a Hammer:

    "I’m still attention-hungry and overly-enthusiastic, but tempered by a mountain farm that taught me patience and self-reflection. I am still off-the-charts imperfect, but I am not scared to like girls."

    Again, they're grown women, Jenna, not "girls." And if you're really attracted to underage people, then you need to get into therapy. I saw that you "Seconded." your support about therapy the other day that someone else tweeted, yet you've never mentioned getting any on your blog: https://twitter.com/coldantlerfarm/status/1227354613835276289. You'll say anything just to get noticed by the hip cliques on Twitter. And the "off-the-charts imperfect" personality is true, too.

    And:

    "I can do the kind work of being a person not interested in hurting anyone else. I can be patient with people. I can gather wood and sit quietly."

    Yeah, she's just so "kind" and "patient" to people on Twitter who have different, opposing beliefs from her own, and also to her clients who have pre-paid for projects, and yet haven't received them yet for a few months. And she has "hurt" those who have helped her out in the past. Like the old man and young girl who donated to her faux farm when they couldn't really afford to. Then she "thanked" them by using their money for items other than what they were intended for (fencing, shelter etc...).

    1. What an outright fabrication that she's not interested in hurting anyone else.

      Let's not forget how much she and some of her disgusting followers chortled when the 26-year Town Justice, husband and father Carl Ackley, died in a farming accident (November 2018). Robyn added multiple laughing emojis. Kevin asked "Was this judge also the mayor and dentist?" Wes added "Also owned the local tire shop." Erin posted "Oh my. Poor Carl" with gif of "sad face" peanut butter. Nuria added "I'm going to hell if it exists. I haven't laughed this hard in days." Mick posted "Hahahaha haha omg!...the first thing I've laughed about all day!"

      No wonder people don't want to date after they read her online "brand."

  16. Dating enticement from the Fake Feral Farmer's blog (2-4-17):

    "After these hours of hunting, chores, dead things, poop, and mold I went inside and made a cup of afternoon tea and didn't wash my hands or worry about residual deer blood on my lips. I was grateful for no longer moving. Later that night I would invite my working dogs in my bed —under the covers if they liked — and fall asleep breathing in black silky fur and feeling toenails rake past my naked body. I will not have showered first.

    If this all sounds gross, that's fine. I'm not everyone's ideal partner, for sure. But I can assure you there are five sets of clean sheets in this house, which are changed every single time I shower (twice or thrice a week)..."

    Wow. I commented on this during Coast's May 2019, discussion of "rural" living. The deer blood in Jenna's write-up (entitled "Germ Freaks & Ice Cream") came from a fawn carcass Jenna found. She had no idea how the fawn died, or even if it suffered from a transmissible disease. She didn't appear to use any precautions before handling the carcass.

    Based on posts, her freezer has been used to store meat shares, soap ingredients, rats, squirrels, wild animals and dirty jeans (to freshen them up).

    My suggestion to any would-be date?? Go eat at a restaurant.

We don't know of any real farmers who have such a callous attitude.

    4. LS, what about the time she wondered out loud if she would find her aged horse dead in a back field because of inclement weather? She wouldn't need to worry if she provided a proper shelter from the winter elements. And, please, if I hear one more time from FFF that her imported Fell Pony lived outside in its native land, I'll be the one who needs therapy. The UK does not have the extreme temperatures of the US, nor the low winter temperatures of upstate New York. They rarely have snows that last and temperatures are more consistently in the 40s (high) and 30s (low). Therefore a young, healthy pony, like Merlin was at the time, would have no trouble living outside, or even living inside a rough shelter. However, FFF lives in upstate NY. She keeps an aged Pony into a survival situation, with inadequate shelter, probably no supplements (it makes them too energetic, you know) and no blanketing. God know what the water situation is. She should be ashamed of herself.

  18. From the latest bleg post (Warming Up! 2/13) the hard working feral 'n scrappy Pig Shocker is preparing to take several well-deserved days off:

    "Today was a long day of preparing for a few quiet days off. I have plans for romance and adventure, and I am hoping both go well. But a farm isn't something that wait for either and today was spent doing three times the usual client work and emails than a usual work day to make up for it."

    >>>Why can't she do that amount of work every day? Her lazy ass wouldn't be so far behind with client orders if she did. So normally, she does the least amount of work in order to increase her quality of life...at the expense of her foollower's patience and goodwill.

    >>>She also has big plans to increase her work load with more animals, bigger garden, bees and new construction:

    "One handy friend wants to rebuild the deck off the living room (sorely needed the current one is in very bad shape, has been since I bough this place). Another friend wants to help me cut down some brush and make space for pigs to roam in new areas."

    >>>As usual, she's getting suckers to do the work for her. She even aspires to run with "Sherman" -- just like her author buddy who is more successful than her:

    "I want to possibly raise a male goat or alpaca for packing, as in backpacking with - a dream I started back in Vermont a long time ago and wasn't prepared to follow through with."

    >>>She also made sure to keep everyone "tethered to her potential" with this drivel:

    "But these things are all swirling in my mind. It doesn't mean they will all happen but they are active."

    >>>Oh, that sounds fabulous! Let me donate some cash for all your new projects! And if that wasn't enough she just HAD to remind all her foollowers just how poor she is:

    "The firewood situation is getting hairy. I am done with all the utility, truck repair, hay, feed, and insurance bills for the month but only halfway to the mortgage and no cash for firewood."

    >>>Translation: If the date goes well, she's gonna need some extra cash to help secure her desired sugar mama. You know, to be able to take her to fancy places!

She forgot she also posted on IG that yesterday was the day for watching "Pitch Perfect" with drinking buddy teacher (snow day, y'all) and watching pay-per-view Frozen 2, complete with screen clips of the movie to "prove" her bat-shit theory it's a lesbian coming out story. Gosh, project much?

    2. The pack goat... poor Finn. He's one of the reasons she got kicked out of her Vermont rental. She imprisoned him on a short chain in the yard, and animal control was called. At that time, she also got in trouble for the rabbits. Her version: the animal control officer told her the place looked "pristine." Hopefully, there's some sort of record of the most recent animal control visits where she had to rehome practically every animal so that her "dreams" of more animal hoarding never come to fruition.

    3. It's also interesting how she doesn't allow comments on her blog now, and hasn't for a very long time. Once in awhile she'll do it, I think as a kind of tentative test, but the FFF knows that there are a lot of people who loathe her for good reason. Since she only wants kudos, and no constructive criticism, JW can't cope with any negative public opinions.

    4. yes the very modern Miss FFF will not allow comments and if you want to make one you must first "right" it out in long hand then find an envelope stuff it in find a stamp put it on and address that sucker and wait outside for your mail lady to come by so you can give it to her and she will take it directly to Miss FFF and deliver it to her.

  19. How often does this girl buy feed and hay? In her "Hammer" post on 2/11 she writes that Patty "helped me get hay for my animals and loaded it into her truck..." then in her 2/14 post she writes "I also ran out to get the feed, hay, and groceries needed..." She seems to mention these purchases regularly, WAY more than she should. I know her argument would probably be that she can't afford more than that, and/or that she's unable to store it (someone else mentioned how she keeps hay in her truck bed - this seems to be true, in the past she's written about Merlin escaping and eating hay out of the truck, and we know the inside of her barn is too messy for storage), but that's a ridiculous waste of money to buy feed that way. And the groceries - remember how she posted about not having bare cupboards, and keeping frozen food and prepackaged meals on hand like a good prepper? Instead of, you know, putting up her own food and keeping dry goods on hand??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm pretty sure the ever-enabling "Pember Patty (PP)" is the frequent hay source. FFF posted several times that PP allows her to pick up hay from their farm. In truth, FFF has probably burned every hay supplier in town, likely due to non-payment, late payment or posting weird online stories. Last year, I'm pretty sure one local hay supplier point-blank told her hay wasn't available - at a time when LOTS of hay had been grown due to very rainy season. Yes, they were hoping to lose her as a customer!

      Funny how FFF turns a simple chore (getting grain and hay) into a complicated mess. Most horse/livestock owners get hay delivered ONCE (maybe twice) and pay the small charge for delivery (or they get it themselves and fill up their barn). They also get grain delivered on a regular schedule - again for a low cost (or they pick up). But this supposes proper storage for animal feed, that is, clean, safe and protected from the elements. Shammers, what are the odds the fierce feral farmer has proper food storage for her animals??? ZERO you say?

      So I'm guessing FFF scoots over to PP as often as she can, hoping for free dinner, drinks, donated household "treasures" and hay with a promise-to-pay and a hope-like-hell-PP-forgets-what-she-takes!

    5. I am a livestock farmer, and I buy hay twice a year, then store it in my hayloft in barn. Most (REAL) farmers I know buy large amounts of hay once, maybe twice a year. But, JW does not A.)

  20. Twitter Twaddle:

    "Be my Valentine! Support this scrappy mess of a happy place!!!"

    I thought that she already had a "date" for VD. I don't think that many normal adults would take her up on that awful offer. But I agree with the "scrappy mess," and not at all with the "happy place!!!" part. Half the time her plumbing doesn't adequately work well, and she's confessed multiple times to using her backyard as a toilet. Her hovel is also filthy with doggy dander, hawk shit and other assorted detritus. And don't get me started about the slummy exterior. Her horses live in a freezing hell during the winter, and livestock like pigs, eats on top of their own fecal matter. Yep, it sure sounds like a jolly place to live. No one needs to "support" a middle-aged, able-bodied and college-educated jerk who is too lazy to support herself.

      I maintain my hypothesis that there is some other income source for her.

      Even if she were doing PA work, it wouldn’t bump her income enough.

      Sketches / design is not turning a profit - she just isn’t charging enough for those services to live off of them. Ditto soap, pig shares etc.

It's also funny how we were right about the ugly, bile brown pleather jacket being worn. I'm surprised that she didn't bring her hawk for show & tell, and wear the Indiana Jones wannabe hat.

    3. "Your free donations keep me from becoming a mature adult" Anonymous, this is SPOT ON! Reading her recent blog post just infuriated me. There are so many wonderful blogs out there, with great writing, and she writes nothing but self-serving begs and narcissistic crap. Plus, she can't write!!! Her writing is some of the worst I've ever read. I'm now convinced that her editors bascially wrote her books. The fact that she mentions not having a "trust fund" in her bags is telling. Nobody I know would ever even think of trust funds as a regular thing. It tells me that she has delusions of grandeur and has hobnobbed w NYC elite, so that she views life in terms of rich kids and celebs. It also tells me that she comes from a middle to upper middle class background and can't understand any of the realities that true farmers deal with. My guess is that she gets a regular paycheck from social security, SSI, disability payout, annuity from a lawsuit (I wouldn't doubt she's the kind of person who actively searches for potential lawsuits), or inheritinance. The lie about barely making it each month is just not plausible. She does NOT have farm income, and even if she does, it's so minute that she couldn't survive on it. Most (real) farmers have to work off-farm. Her pet sketching business and soap making absolutely does not pay all her bills. There's a steady income from one of these aforementioned sources and she lies to her followers about being close to poverty. It's sad and disgusting. This woman had things just handed to her! Plus, she has a college education. No excuse for begging. Her writing is also so bad that any book deals she got were based on her connections to the publishing/design world. So many homesteaders and farmers with real stories to tell never get the chances, breaks, handouts that this woman has been given. And they don't use animals as props. I remember reading her first book and the story about the rabbits that she tried to raise in Idaho, in her garage, and how she let her dogs startle one of them to near death. Then she bragged about calling a neighbor w a 22, and how she shot it because it was her responsibility. I was thinking, it was your responsibility to keep your damn dogs away! Then, in same book, when she talked about the makeshift chicken coop (some kind of plywood A-frame) caving in on her hens- I was shocked! She seemed blase' about it, and was surprised the chickens survived. This was all way before she got the USDA and donors to GIVE HER the money for a house. It's a house on property, by the way, not a farm. My tax dollars were used to help her buy a HOUSE. No humility in those early animal deaths, no humility in the help she got to finance her house. It's just shocking that she continues to say the right thing to dupe people into giving her money. The best thing for this narcissist would be if she went off social media and tried living a real life, w real sentiments, and real interactions w real human beings. But, I have a strong suspicion that she already does that, and the online persona is just that, a persona aimed at extracting dollars from unsuspecting donors.

      https://www.instagram.com/byte15johnst/

      The footage shows from left to right: Some guy, Natalia, some girl, Jenna. As the camera pans towards them you can see Nat notices the camera but continues to eat and chat with that guy. And note that Nat is turned away from Jenna and the other girl. Also at this very moment you can see that Jenna is looking at/yapping at this other girl who is staring straight ahead.

      A few clicks later Jenna is now looking towards Nat and the guy and you can now see that the girl is drinking water and still not looking at Jenna. At this moment Jenna tries to jump into Nat/guy's conversation and loudly asks "Is that Travis?" And if you slow it down enough you'll see that Nat/guy never even looked over at Jenna. And "watergirl" is still drinking and staring straight ahead.

      Then, it's really quick but you see Jenna finally notices the camera and doesn't smile but instead follows the camera with an annoyed-looking glare. Meanwhile, watergirl never stops drinking and has still not even glanced in Jenna's direction. Either the salty pizza cheese made her super thirsty, or she figured out she doesn't have to talk if her mouth is filled with water.

      At least that's my take on it.

  27. "Help and SUBSCRIBE! I'm just like NPR" she hollers!!!

    Let's crunch some numbers, shall we?

    $5.00 x 12/mo = $60.00/yr
    $10.00 x 12/mo = $120.00/yr
    $15.00 x 12/mo = $180.00/yr
    $25.00 x 12/mo = $300.00/yr

    She wants people to pay her those rates for a bleg she hardly writes in? And when she does, it's all about how broke she is and only sometimes she bothers to mention the animals. Hardly anything about farming or homesteading. Just a few updates of which animals are still alive.

    So let's imagine out of her supposed 4,800+ foollowers, 10 of them and stupid enough to subscribe to her bleg:

    4 people paying $60.00/yr = $240
    3 people paying $120.00/yr = $360.00
    2 people paying $180.00/yr = $360.00
    1 person paying $300.00/yr = $300.00

    That's a grand total of $1,260 that the Pig Shocker wants for hardly writing anything. Now, what if we were to generously imagine not just 10, but 50 subscribers that she'd LOVE to have?

    50 people paying $1,260/year = $63.000

    Wow...I'd love the chance to "earn up" easy money like that for writing nothing but made-up disasters and how anxious and terrified I am. I could do this! I've never experienced a root canal, but I figure I could just copy and paste from her bleg. So where do I sign up?

    It doesn't take a super genius to figure out how the "date" happened in the first place. Pig Shocker's victim was invited as part of a large group get together.

    Something along the lines of: Hey me and some friends are meeting up at the brewery vday night to hang out. Beats sitting at home alone. Wanna meet us there?

    After she agrees to attend, Pig Shocker immediately starts practicing writing their names together and telling the dogs all about their new step mom.

    2. I dont think that woman beside Jenna in the video was her date.

      I think her date bailed.

      I think, based on my own experiences as a woman dating women, that in the messaging / email phase a date was arranged, Jenna told Date about her blog / instagram, and posted the kissy photo... at which point Date ghosted.

      Because kissy photo demonstrated poor judgement and low emotional intelligence, I think Date saw the writing on the wall.

      People flake all the time in early dating stages, and Jenna actually gave Date a reason to flake...

      So then Jenna tagged along for this group thing in a loud brightly lit setting.

      That is not a first date setting at all.

      And I agree the woman Jenna was seated next to was not interested in Jenna.

    3. I agree with what you all wrote. And WDH's hilarious line made me literally, laugh out loud: "After she agrees to attend, Pig Shocker immediately starts practicing writing their names together and telling the dogs all about their new step mom." If the date had gone well at all, then there would've been bragging about it by now on either Twitter or Instagram. BTW: That public kissy face was weird. It's pathetic that a middle-aged woman would act so childish. But she named her truck, Taylor, too. Only someone stuck in a perma-teen mentality would do that.

      Delete
    4. Interesting theory, Anon 11:13 - The tagging along makes sense as the restaurant was 20+ miles away roundtrip so it's not like she chose that over her own local stomping grounds being that her truck, Taylor, only can be driven a few tiny miles around Cambridge these days.

      Cuz if that girl was her date, even if she wasn't interested you'd think that merely being politely receptive would've been something she could've mustered up, despite a mouth-breathing wildebeest dominating the conversation.

      But if that was her date, it's kinda hard to tell, but she looked to be a serious book type -- and upon mentioning her love for books, the Pig Shocker interrupted and cackled, "Gosh, I LOVE books TOO! I have all 13 of Taylor Swift's autobiographies!!!"

    2. She just posted a new meme on her Instagram-stories page. It's a pic of a woman holding up a still-bleeding human heart in a manner that implies that she ripped it straight from the chest of someone who disappointed her. And the caption reads:

      "YOU MUST LEARN TO GET UP FROM THE TABLE WHEN LOVE IS NO LONGER BEING SERVED"

      Ouch. So the date didn't go as planned. Well, at least she seems to be learning. Too bad she hasn't learned how to properly take care of her animals.

    4. PDD. Was Shannon Doyle the original owner of her hawk? (https://www.instagram.com/heyshannay/?hl=en). I thought that Auburn was given to her by a going away for college student who lived locally. She's intimated, by the pic credit, that SD is her date. And Pember Patty is her most massive, dumb enabler.

      Twit Shit (Let the begging begin again):

      "Happy to report that this month's truck repairs, utilities, insurance, heating, feed, hay, etc are all paid! Now I am working every day towards getting work done and money earned to mail in a house payment to keep things safe. Sharing what I have to offer helps!"

    5. saw this and my first thought was she said she lost her insurance since she couldn't pay it since Poodle Doodles didn't come through with the hard cold cash. I knew once I wrote that I thought she was dumped and she read that she would be posting her blather about a wonderful weekend. If you have to "recover" from a weekend she must have drunk Jackson/Cambridge dry.

      Delete
    6. Hmmm. From interpretation of photographic evidence, she was intrusive and apparently ignored at Byte on Friday night. No doubt she then shuffled over to Argyle brewery for Saturday night (hey, how's that sobriety coming?). For Sunday, she shared a photo of Pember Patty's place at dusk, taken by Shannon D, who recorded FFF showing off with Auburn on January 26. It seems FFF can't help but invade PP's premises when she wants to show off.

      But, it's a VERY smart move to hide her hovel for Valentine's weekend, lol. Ain't no amount of hay tall enough to hide Dead Animal Farm's shit and misery.

      Last, a huge thank you to "Luckless Slinger" for correcting my misinterpretation of Shannon's place in Pig Shocker's world. She's not a past hawk owner; she's a would-be hawk holder. Say, I wonder how she likes hawk chalk on walls???

  31. LS. Thank you. I got my enablers confused. I will delete the reference and correct. On January 26, Shannon Doyle took a video of FFF and the captive-hawk-who-should-be-released. FFF was of course showing off her toy.

    3. When Pig Shocker first got interested in falconry, it had NOTHING to do with "saving" juvenile raptors. If you look at her public postings, you'll see that she did it to play-pretend, look "cool" and maybe make some friends with her newest hobby. She had ZERO interest in altruism. As required of a newbie, another person trapped her bird, and she used others to build the raptor jail. Few of her birds actually caught their intended prey, so they were likely at a disadvantage when they escaped. I think Pig Shocker created the fictional story of "saving raptors" to make the factually incorrect NYT story sound better, to make herself look more significant and get more attention for her kill-hobby.

      Of all the birds she's held hostage as playthings, by the way, only one (her first) had a verifiable and correct separation. Her second was said to have died in her house; her third had a very questionable "release" (no notice, no photos) soon after scratching her on the face; her fourth flew away (wearing leathers right before a major winter storm, may it RIP); her fifth (Auburn) is still held prisoner even though it is PAST TIME to release.

      Bottom line is she uses the birds as props to sell her brand and to sell product. After reportedly being slapped down by NYSDEC she has stopped the direct advertising using raptors, but the offensive and celebrity-whoring posts remain on her blog, in Twitter and on Instagram. She routinely tells people to read her "ten years of writing" so she continues to use past birds as advertising fodder.

      Anyone else remember her pathetic beg for pity-purchases that effectively said "Buy my soap, so the hawk can eat."

      What a POS she is.

    4. PDD. Yeah, she's a rotten human being. As I've said many times here, it's all about her manipulative marketing. She doesn't deserve to have any animals, because she can't take care of them, and also uses them as pet props.

I have never wanted any of my own because I don't want to take care of them.

I am honestly shocked and I have been reading her shit for years mostly just to see what kind of crap she is up to now.

    I used to follow her thinking I would learn something but when she quit her job after begging for a down payment on her place and then kept begging for more and more money well then I couldn't stop watching to see where it would all go. Go see this "crappy" little video and I do mean crappy before the scammer takes it down.

    8. You can make a hillbilly hay feeder outta just about anything. Free stuff! Four pallets tied together with bale twine will work in a pinch. A 4 or 5 foot piece of field fence tied to a fence will make a nice little pocket feeder to get your horses fodder up off the ground. Hell, a kitty pool works! We get those cheap at the dollar store and believe it or not, they work pretty well in a pinch. A sawed off 55 gallon barrel works well. Ten dollar hay nets work good. $20 of cheap pine lumber will make a decent little feeder for two old horses. My gosh, Pinterest, Instagram and the whole stinking internet has a zillion ways to make cheap feeders for all kinds of livestock. Feeding on the ground like that is just amazingly lazy.

      I'll bet Patty doesn't even do that for her steeds.

NO animal eats, drinks, or sleeps where it shits unless it is FORCED to. By refusing to buy or build a goddamn hay rack, jenna is forcing her horses to do something that goes completely against their instinct and is so, so unhealthy. Why does the ASPCA seize dogs from puppy mills? Because they are forced to live in similar conditions.

    This is awful. I grew up with horses, and we had a big round hay feeder in the pasture and hay racks in the stalls. And we went around with a wheelbarrow and picked up poop from the pasture every week!

    2. As a horse owner, I call horse 💩 on her "impromptu" photo.

      First, horses need regular feedings of hay, continually being ideal. So she would know if she feeds her horses an evening meal of hay - and the timing. Therefore, she wouldn't just "dash out" to feed the horses.

      Second, no horse person runs through snow when you have boots everywhere. Slip on boots, feed horses, change back into shoes. We are to believe she went on a date with soaking wet stockings and dress shoes?

      Third, more evidence that LAF Pig Shocker merely tosses food over closest gate, where horses must come to eat. By the level of the gate, there is at least 1-2 feet of mashed-together hay and manure. Yes, she treats them the same way she treated goats - give them food on top of 💩 and don't clean up.

      Fourth, notice the light-colored trees near the gate? The horses have likely eaten bark off the trees, girdling (killing) the trees. This happened with her pigs in the pig gulag. Horses like to nibble on wood, true, but they do it less if they have sufficient hay and mineral supplements. Pica exists in horses too.

      As for who took the photo, I'm betting a timer on the camera or perhaps one of her local enablers. I mean, who the fcuk takes a photo of themselves tossing hay (and not enough) to horses'? This is the sort of contrived photo she specializes in!

      Cut the crap on the "foreclosure" bullshit because we all know it's nothing but lies. If she were truly worried about foreclosure, she wouldn't be going to bars, flying her stupid hawk when there is work to be done, buying outfits, mountain smashing with her dog and carrying heavy gear just to make tea (hello, most people just carry a thermos)....that was the stupidest thing I ever saw btw.

      She writes about the same damn thing over and over. "This farm is up against it." "I need $500 to make my mortgage." "I have to see the dentist again." "My truck won't start."

      Then she writes..."And I'll tell you this for free. If this next book doesn't sell, or flops, then I will. I will have to. " She means sell the farm.

      THAT'S THE MOST LOGICAL THING SHE HAS SAID THESE 10 YEARS. YES JENNA, SELL THE FARM! PUT THESE POOR ANIMALS OUT OF THEIR MISERY.

      Then "Or change my life drastically in some way because waking up ready for battle every day just to keep a roof over your head and your house warm enough to keep the pipes from freezing is worse than smoking three packs a day."

  45. Apologies, but this is kind of long. I’m reading a very good book by Mark Manson called, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” which, of course, attracted me as that’s sorta me in a nutshell… heh. Clarification: It’s not about not giving a fuck about ANYTHING, but more about caring about the right things. He’s got some good insights.

    Anyway, this excerpt explains the FFF to a T, I thought.

    “Jimmy is entitled. That is, he feels as though he deserves good things without actually earning them. He believes he should be able to be rich without actually working for it. He believes he should be liked and well-connected without actually helping anyone. He believes he should have an amazing lifestyle without actually sacrificing anything.

    Once people have developed the thought pattern to constantly construe what happens around them as self-aggrandizing, it’s extremely hard to break them out of it. Any attempt to reason with them is seen as simply another “threat” to their superiority by another person who “can’t handle” how smart/talented/good-looking/successful they are. Entitlement closes in upon itself in a kind of narcissistic bubble, distorting anything and everything in such a way as to reinforce itself.

    People who feel entitled view every occurrence in their life as either an affirmation of, or a threat to, their own greatness. If something good happens to them, it’s because of some amazing feat they accomplished. If something bad happens to them, it’s because somebody is jealous and trying to bring them down a notch. Entitlement is impervious. People who are entitled delude themselves into whatever feeds their sense of superiority. They keep their mental facade standing at all costs, even if it sometimes requires being physically or emotionally abusive to those around them. But entitlement is a failed strategy. It’s just another high. It’s not happiness.”

    2. Duckmama, you're right. The description exactly fits FFF, a forever-child who wants to live an entitled dream life while others to pay for it.

      She's clearly jealous of people who are happy, have partners, travel or lead better-managed lives. She tries so hard to convince herself (and her readers) that her "fictional life" is somehow better. It isn't. She harms and neglects animals, and she uses people. It's frankly pathetic that a healthy and educated adult chooses to beg and scam for money instead of working to create a genuinely self-sufficient life. If animals weren't harmed, I might actually feel sorry for her.

  48. SELL THE FARM! SELL THE FARM!

    From the bleg "Every single one of us knows there's a desk or a ditch out there calling our names and we don't have to struggle with making our land work. We can sit down to a spreadsheet or pick up a shovel - yet we remain."

    FFS, office work is not equivalent to DIGGING FREAKING DITCHES LIKE A PRISON WORKER.

    "...get back to the job and life I hated..." Again, FFS, having the enormous privilege of living in a part of the world where one can access a desk job makes us wealthier than the majority of humans on this planet. I hated accounting (the slavery of finance and spreadsheets, poor moi) and so I don't do that anymore. I do other administration work. There is a whole world of decent-paying work out there, and I don't even have a degree. I am hoping once my mortgage is paid down a bit, I can leverage some of that equity to begin my own post-secondary education and maybe do even better paid work. But as it is, here I remain, toiling over a ditch - I mean desk.

    I sincerely hope she is in therapy. "The minute this farm went from joy to fear..." Girl, you've lived these eight long years in a state of fear (apparently) and lacking the resources (ahem INCOME) to truly thrive. You've spent nearly a decade now trying to convince readers this is some sort of dream, you made it, what a magical life!

    Yet the constant solicitation, the posting of piddling income goals, and the expressions of stress and fear tell a different and frankly depressing story.

    Not even getting into the poor animal husbandry. No one who wants to farm should feel good about the situation perpetuated at CAF.

    Girl, sell that farm so you can walk away with something. Yeah it'll be heartbreaking, and I do have sincere empathy for anyone having to liquidate and walk away from a dream. Sometimes that's reality, and you're better off counting your blessings and finding long-term practical solutions. Speaking of which -

    "Knowing I have ten days to make this payment happen..." Then you had *no business* taking the weekend off, that was shamefully short-sighted.

    "I know this blog went from hopefulness and joy of country living to the constant uphill clawing to keep what I have." But you're not keeping what you have. You can't maintain your property, your definition of savings is having enough in the bank to make a mortgage payment. All these years and no nest egg? You're losing ground you can't see.

    And for what? There is no reason you need that "scrappy freehold" - for feeder pigs? Hens? Hawks and horses? Perpetuating a romanticized fiction of your own life? Side gigs that pay a few hundred a month, and farm income that pays a few thousand a year? It's been ten years, and what are you actually doing?

    "90% of my energy goes into simply figuring out if I get to keep my house this month."

    Is another book going to save all that? The story of CAF and Jenna is not at all inspirational.

    1. And PS - I would totally follow a blog of the post CAF Jenna. I'd rather read about a great camping trip with 6 other women once a year, the occasional trail ride, and how to grow squash on a rooftop city garden and convert your collies from farm dogs to agility contenders. Go meet a cute girl in a dog park! I would truly love to see Jenna reinvent herself. The end of CAF could be a real opportunity. You don't have to be original to be authentic and engaging.

  49. An evening in my life. Back in Jan. I had a tooth break off in the back after taking a bite of bacon at Cracker Barrel. Well went to the dentist and it was $1700. for a new crown, didn't really have the money for it at that time and didn't want to take it out of savings so I did the big girl thing and put it on my credit card. You see I have no blog to beg in. Tonight had a coughing fit for some reason and I swear I just had a cap come off that cost even more than the other one by a different dentist 2 years ago. So now tomorrow I will need to call the dentist and see how fast something can be done and I will have to pay for it. You see I have no blog to beg in. I am still working 4 or 5 days a week I am 72 and pay our own bills. You see I have no blog to beg in. Damn this grown up shit is for the birds, how do I start a blog?
