Meet the Farmers

Though it may be obvious, we are beginner farmers! We each share a passion for God, each other, furry animals, and simple living. We don't look like or even think like farmers for the most part, but we are getting a crash course in what it means to GROW! 

We live in this cabin. We built it ourselves in 2014 - and by ourselves, we mean my dad, the expert, and his experienced friends did most the work and we helped and learned as much as possible. What started out as an idea of a small one bedroom shack has expanded to become more than we could ever have hoped.

We live in this cabin on 40 acres that we co-own with SheBrown's parents. This is the pond that collects all the major "run-off" on our land. It is the primary watering hole for our future herds.
These are the gates we built ourselves to enclose our land.

 These are the animals that live on our land to help us with our land tax exemption and to make our hearts happy.

The guy who owns our hearts, Sergeant. He is more than a pet to us. We consider all of our pets to be our "fur babies", but this guy is the head hancho. He has eaten, slept, worked, drooled, yelled, chased, played, and licked his way into our hearts from the days before we were married. He is the original fur-baby. He is the patriarch and reason for all other fur-babies that have come after him. The only word that could come close to expressing Sergeant's place accurately would be family.





Before we had all this, we had nothing. This was a year ago. So how did we accrue this much in a year without a family inheritance or winning the lottery? God's grace. I have another blog about that but I had to give God a shout out here for all the blessings he's poured out on us. We literally work for Jesus and he pays our salary in money and favors. We give all the credit to him for everything we have; sometimes his blessings shower down from nowhere and sometimes his blessings cost a little blood, sweat and tears. We've experienced both kinds during the building of our farm and we'd love to share these experiences with you.
