Our Journey to Farm Life

Welcome to our farm!

We’re the Parkers, a couple of city slickers with 4 kids, who traded in rush-hour traffic, overpriced brunch, and a steady supply of takeout for fresh air, muddy boots, plenty of weeds, and chickens with attitudes.

It all started when we thought, “Hey, wouldn’t it be cute to have a little garden?” Fast forward 12 months, and we were knee-deep in compost, trying to Google “how to raise chickens” with an aggressive rooster who attacks when annoyed.

Why We Moved

We wanted more space, more time, and fewer parking tickets. The dream was simple: grow our own food, slow down, and maybe get a cow (because… why not?). What we didn’t realize is that tomatoes are divas, fences are a must (come to find out deer like gardens also), and farm life is basically CrossFit with more dirt and less hydration.

Our Mission

We’re here to share the real (and ridiculous) truth about farm life — the wins, the fails, the eggs laid in unexpected places, and everything in between. Whether you’re planning your own escape from the city or just here for the laughs, we’re happy to have you.

So grab a coffee (or a pitchfork), and join us as we figure out how to run a farm with zero experience and questionable footwear choices. It’s not always pretty, but it sure beats traffic.
