Who we are
We’re dreamers at heart, tending our little urban homestead with love and intention. The garden, the bees, and the steady rhythm of caring for the earth remind us what it means to grow—together. We believe in encouraging one another to see the beauty in each day, to keep learning, and to become better versions of ourselves through kindness, curiosity, and connection.
Dakota is loving know as “the fixer man” at our house. You name and he will figure out how to build it, make it, or fix it. From chicken coops and our tiny house to small motors and cars. Most recently he has acquired the skills of roof and shower leaks.
More than projecting he enjoys being in the kitchen. He is the kind of cook that goes off script and it always tastes delicious. Recipes are merely a suggestion. He sees ingredients and translates to masterpieces.
Life with Dakota comes with no shortage of comedy. He keeps things light and has fun with everything he does.
Amie is a planner and an excessive organizer. She is a writer, dreamer and entrepreneur. Even though she lives so creatively she is no stranger to tools and hard work. Amie loves projecting on the farm as much as she loves tea and typing.
While Dakota might prefer to be in the kitchen Amie loves to gather people. There is no shortage of invitations to join a clothes swap, garbage pick up, or some kind of celebration at the farm.
With her type one eniagram personality order is sacred to her. It comes naturally and it is a gift she treasures sharing with others.
Above it all Amie has massive belief in people. If you bring up a project, business idea, or even just a road block in life she will be the one to say, “you can totally do that!”
About the farm
We bought this property in 2018 thinking it would be a starter home before we moved to the country. Little did we know this was the beginning of our story. When the world shut down in 2020 I told Dakota, “the farm is here.” I wasn’t waiting for “someday” any more. I was convicted we needed to do the best with what we had before we got more. I felt impostor syndrome so bad when I started saying we had a farm. Little by little my confidence grew. After collecting hundreds of pounds of food, countless eggs, and gallons of honey it started to feel real. I knew that someone else needed the encouragement that I did. After sharing the farm experience through short term rentals for almost two years, I could feel a seed. There was still more. We designed urban farm retreats to capture all the most important things about the farm in way that will send guests home with confidence that they can do it. Honestly, the biggest hurdle is probably the impostor syndrome.
