Thanks for following along!
I'm just a farmers daughter turned farmers wife chasing my dreams of running my own boutique, being self efficient, raising up cowkids & feeding the world. Following in the traditions of our families.
Our little family resides on the family farm raising out two boys, Sawyer & Sutton.
Sharing our journey as a farming family, enjoying the simpler things in life + supporting small businesses along the way.
I grew up in small town, Indiana, where you'd see just as many horse buggy's as cars. I've grown up a farmers daughter, tending the ground & raising up hogs & cattle. When I wasn't on my horse or in my grandma's garden picking weeds & sneaking a few raspberries, you could find me playing sports. Let's just say I wasn't your "average" kid. I worked hard & learned more about how our country thrives than most people know to this day & I couldn't be more thankful for that.
I'll never live down my 7th grade crush. Scribbling "Allison Rose Fought" down in the front of all my notebooks. Good thing I was just practicing. From the LaGrange Co. 4-H Fair, I'd caught my eye on a skinny, blonde hair, blue eyed country boy I damn near fell off my horse for. After an unexpected double date (where I went with his best friend), he finally thought I was pretty cool. Now, over a decade together, 4 years married + the happiest little human. I could go on & on, but you can check out more of our love story in Raising Rustic Roots!
I went to Purdue University + graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Arts focused in Interior Design along with a business degree. After some convincing Parker attended Blackhawk college to obtain over 3 degrees in Ag + Farm Management. During my junior year, TRF was born, we both graduated, I started working at a local shop & Parker on the family farm. We got married, bought our 1st home, I left my 1st job, started another, then had Sawyer & Sutton
We've also started our cow herd, a little chicken coop, + so many more things. It's been a wild ride so far, but I couldn't be more thankful to have such a hardworking man by my side.
