You know that you’ve found your soul mate when his dreams match yours. When you realize that you’re both envisioning the same life together that you’ve dreamt about since you we’re a little kid.
Since this is all so new to me, I just wanted to take a moment to tell our story and how we got here so that you know our journey, where we are now and can follow along with us as we continue to grow.
We started out on two flat acres with a single wide trailer and a shed. We created something on that two acres that most people would have never imagined doing with such little land to work with. It’s where we watch our dream start to come to life. It was small and just a hint of what we wanted, but it was exactly what we needed to start with. In 2016, we purchased our first two head of cattle! We raised two heifers, tons of chickens and welcomed our son at that home. We made memories, lived life and embraced the little things there. But He had bigger plans for us!
We quickly began outgrowing our 2 acres when our heifers gave birth to their first two calves in Fall 2017. After long talks and a ton of back and forth we decided that we had to purchase more land. We gave ourselves a deadline of April 2018 to find more land or we would take our calves to the sale barn. After years of praying, looking for land and frustration galore, We found our home in March and went into contract on April 5th 2018.
The road was so full of ups and downs, and to be completely honest, it still is. But we love it here and we’re excited to continue to grown and expand while we live out our dream and offer locally raised/grown food to our family and friends.
All of this is to say, never stop dreaming. Never give up on that thing that keeps pulling at you. Find a way to make it happen! You will never regret going after your dreams but you will always regret not trying!
