The Woman Known as 'Ballerina Farms' Is Not the Problem ... Your Envy Is

Black and White Cow, Keith Weller/USDA/Public Domain

Accounts are going wildly viral on Instagram and Tik Tok for what is called 'trad wife' content. Trad is short for 'traditional' and it is a push back by women of a younger generation against the notion women have to work corporate jobs to be successful. The accounts generally show very attractive women taking care of their homes, cooking and caring for small children. One of the most successful is an account called 'Ballerina Farms'. I was introduced to 'Ballerina Farms' by my Mom. My Mom is in her 70's but loves watching her content for the farm animals and the recipes. 'Ballerina Farms' also sells products like starter kits for sourdough. Any time a woman finds success, there is also going to be a whole bunch of criticism launched at her as well. It's inevitable.

Correct. People don't like women looking up to another woman who has a bunch of kids and loves her husband.

It seems there are way more problematic women on the internet, honestly.

Obviously, these are beautiful pictures, but they are clearly curated pictures she used for content like magazines or item descriptions for catalogs. They are meant to be appealing to the eye. If you watch her regular every day content, it's full of dirty kitchens, messy kids, and basic farm living.

If a viewer looks at another woman's life and 'covets' it, that is on the viewer and not on the woman showing her life. 

As a woman who is almost 50, my 'aspirational' homemaker was Martha Stewart. I loved watching her shows and learning how to decorate or arrange flowers. Did I ever believe I would be as talented at baking as Martha? Of course not. It was 'aspirational' content. I used it to make me a little better than I was before. It's a similar situation for today's young wife watching people like 'Ballerina Farms'. Most of them will never have their own working farms. Perhaps, however, she might inspire several young families to go in together to split a cow from their local farm and eat less mass produced meat. Maybe, she will encourage women to begin baking sourdough bread rather than always purchasing highly processed bread loaves. As more and more neighborhoods are allowing residents to have a few chickens, she might encourage a family to get six chickens and take care of their own egg needs from their back yard.

Also, this is a great decision if a woman finds herself 'envying' others and not using these accounts for inspiration or education. Just because these accounts don't serve one person well, doesn't mean they don't have tons of value for some young women. Instead of criticizing women, make your own decisions about curating your social media feed to best suit your lifestyle. If you find yourself envious, that is a sign to do some 'inside' work and figure out what you need to change. Blaming 'Ballerina Farms' for your discontent is the ultimate example of shirking personal responsibility.
