Who are The Hungry People

Hey Hungry People blog is written by Wilson and Dana Judice. They write from the family farm in Southern Louisiana where they raise children, chickens, sugarcane, soybeans, a vegetable garden, and the occasional hell.

Wilson is the farmer of the pair. He has a BS in Agronomy and an MS in Weed Science from LSU. (Not that kind of weed!) He has been working as a farmer since he was 11 years old, but knew he would be one long before that.

Dana is the farmer’s wife. She is a WAHM to the couple’s four children. She works as a bookkeeper for the farm as well has her e-commerce business. Ever heard the saying “behind every great farmer is a wife with another job”?  (Update:  this farming stuff is time-consuming!  The online business is on hold right now, with her inventory stored away in the attic.)

Between the two of them are 4 children:

#1 is a 13-year-old boy, Wilson’s son from his first marriage. He doesn’t live with us full-time, but we hang out as often as possible. He’s into football, baseball, basketball, reading, deer hunting, squirrel hunting, shooting guns in general, horses, movies, and video games. We sometimes call him B for clarity. He is also the oldest of the group by 6 months, a fact which he loves because it can never change.

#2 is a 12-year old boy but Dana’s son from her first marriage. He does live with us full-time with the every-other-weekend trips to his dad’s. He is into football, baseball, deer hunting, hog hunting (he’d like to but we don’t get many chances), shooting, 4-H, chickens, pigs (at his dad’s), rabbits, (just getting into) horses, and girls (big time). Occasionally called C, he will always be 6 months younger than B, but is currently about an inch taller. This is his claim to fame in the family.

#3 is Dana’s 8-year-old son from her first marriage. He also lives with us full-time and visits his dad with #2. He finished chemotherapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on 11/11/11 and is doing very well. He is into baseball, video games, movies, reading, and just playing with his toys. We call him L and he wishes he were 12 years old.

#4 is the Princess, our 4-year-old daughter together. She lives with us only when her grandparents send her home. (Seriously, she does live here, but she’d rather be with them.) She is into pink, babies, dolls, Barbies, princesses, movies, getting messy, art, sneaking out of the house, taking her clothes off outside, annoying her brothers, and waking up way too early. She is a classic farm princess and we call her M.
