CULTIVATING ABUNDANCE
Family
By choosing a countercultural path in raising our children– and intentionally linking arms family to family– we believe we can help turn the tide of brokenness impacting homes today.
Farm
We practice abundant, regenerative farming that weaves together permaculture, heavy mulching, and thoughtful design to heal the soil and grow truly nutrient-dense food.
Faith
We follow the risen Lord Jesus Christ, welcome the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and honor our Heavenly Father, seeking to glorify God in everything we do, think, and say.
Our Story
We began with humble beginnings. Fourteen years ago, we started this crazy journey. With five children and one on the way, we felt a clear calling to return to the basics and build a life rooted in the land.
Adventurers at heart, we stepped into a journey that stretched our endurance and resolve– and has proven to be the most fruitful expedition of our lives.
Looking back on the sweat, tears, sacrifices, and countless prayers, we can clearly see the faithful had of God in every step.
In 2012, we purchased an overgrazed, barren horse farm with a vision to raise our own meat, grow nutrient-dense food, and teach our children a strong work ethic along skills largely lost in this generation.
We made a deliberate decision that our family would be part of the solution that our nation needs– rebuilding the foundation of the family and restoring the simple, wholehearted pursuit of following Christ.
The challenge of barren pastures led us to discover and practice permaculture and regenerative faming as powerful tools to restore the land.
Through many ups and downs– trials and triumphs, including our youngest daughter’s victory over leukemia– God has remained faithful in every season.
Through this channel, we share what we have learned about farming, parenting, and, most importantly, following Jesus, and we invite you to walk this journey with us.
