Photo Journal

Welcome to our family farm! Back in 2010 we packed up our 6 children & moved to the country. We started with chickens, then sheep, goats and a horse. My mom & I started making goat milk soap and we were trying to start our business when tragedy struck our family. March of 2017 we lost our barn & all of our animals to fire. We are striving to rebuild & to hope once again.  

In March of 2017...tragedy struck our family. We lost our barn and all of our precious animals to fire. So much grief and loss. We are now striving to rebuild our dream of having a family run farm and business...clinging to hope, our faith and each other...we are so thankful for everyone’s love and support during such a difficult time for our family! Many of the following photos were taken before the fire.

My husband and me on our way to help out at a summer camp. So thankful to share this crazy/beautiful life with him!

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.

All of our children help in caring for our animals. Our daughters love to play and care for the goat kids most of all!

Growing up a "city girl"...I never knew I would have such a love for these sweet creatures. Goats are so much fun!

Feeding time!

Our son and his friend helped non-stop building the frame work for our new barn.

Our littlest sweetheart was wanting to help so badly! She was able to help move some gravel and help clean up. Her favorite part was ringing the dinner bell!

My husband and our friend Brett (also foreman) worked incredibly hard to build our new barn. Many others came to help as well. It was an amazing time watching it be built and feeling hope being restored!
