It all started with love…
Our story
We met on the first day of high school back in 2005, and have been together ever since. It was always our dream to have a house with a beautiful barn, and a family farm full of animals to raise our kids. In 2019, we welcomed our first born Evelyn and then in 2022 came our sweet Adeline.
Up to that point, our family had been running a horse boarding facility in Pungo, VA, working long and physically demanding hours. But when our girls were born, something deep within both of us was encouraging us to slow down and grow roots.
Our dream home came on the market at the perfect time and we jumped on the opportunity. Now, our desire is to simply spend more time with our family while we build our farm and shape it in to everything we know it can be. We’re excited to share with you.
Simple, yet Beautiful.
One thing you’ll notice when you come to our farm is that it is a traditional working horse barn, with thoughtful modern elements. While our aim isn’t to be the fanciest, it is to highlight just how beautiful everyday places and nature can be. While we currently offer The Barn, Courtyard and Open Field as a place for you all to take photos, we have plans for much more! We just replanted a Willow tree that’s been in our family for years, and so we are hoping it will make it through the winter, so that you all can use that as a beautiful backdrop. We also plan to plant more wildflowers in the spring, and begin work on a pond or two! We have so many ideas and cannot wait to see them come to fruition in 2025.
“Our desire is that everyone who comes to our farm will feel relaxed and at ease.
Each of our locations is curated with you in mind.”
