Everyone has a story… the Big Family Farm’s story began during the Pandemic and we haven’t looked back. Thank you for supporting us, so much more to come! And thank you to Embodied Magazine for the wonderful article. It was an honor!

Our dream (and us ☺️) made the cover of Embodied Magazine] ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ricky and I had a dream to leave the city, buy a farm, raise some free-range kiddos, and live our best life! Not everyone agreed. Not everyone believe we could. And that’s because it wasn’t THEIR dream. (and that’s okay!)

TAKE NOTE: NO ONE will fight harder for your dream than YOU.

Keep going! You’re gonna make it! 👊🏻

We’ve been fortunate enough to get fresh from our neighbor and so our kids are being introduced to fresh cream and all the perks that come with it. My daughter has learned the meaning of some old farm colloquials like this.
