I started with a backyard flock and a dream and grew it into a 20-acre operation with over 4,000 birds, multiple livestock, and self-serve farm stands running year-round. We even completely rebuilt in a YEAR after a flood cam and wiped out everything from our flocks to our gardens.  All while raising four kids, staying present in my marriage, and keeping my relationship with Jesus at the center of every single decision.
