Our Story

Hi there! Welcome to our farm! My name is Samara, but you can call me Sam. This is our story. I never imagined I would end up doing what I do now. Growing up, I thought I would be a mother in a lively and chaotic household filled with children, busy with sporting events and various activities. However, I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted that. Although my house is still noisy and chaotic, it is in a different way.

My husband and I met in college. After the birth of our first child, I decided to be a stay at home mom, but still wanted to pursue another career. However, my journey in the other career was quite difficult. I realized that God had other plans for me, though I can be slow to listen. It was a painful experience, but ultimately, it was part of my growth.

In the meantime, we were trying for more children, and I learned how to can and grow a garden. Then Covid-19 hit, and I quickly realized how much I relied on the grocery store for our food. This experience led me down a path of discovery and learning. But let us start from the beginning.

After the pandemic—though I use that term lightly—we decided to grow our family through adoption. The medical community wasn’t providing us with any answers about having more children, so adoption became our next option. We were excited about this journey but knew it could be expensive. To raise funds, I started learning how to sew and create items to sell. As a result, over the past four years, I have made a lot of the clothes for my daughter and myself, which has expanded our family’s wardrobe.

Next, I experienced extreme stress in my life and developed a serious illness that triggered an autoimmune disease. It was not easy, but I later realized it was a blessing in disguise. During this time, we had also started a little farm. Through everything that happened, God helped me understand and embrace something extraordinary about motherhood and being a wife that He wanted me to learn. I wish I had learned it sooner, and because of that, I stopped pursuing my worldly career to fully embrace the amazing divine role God gave me.

Not only did He reveal my divine purpose, but He also guided me to an herbalist who helped me heal through herbs and a better diet. Once my autoimmune issues were resolved, we began a path toward healing that would allow us to continue growing our family.

With that we started our little farm named after my favorite and first Icelandic sheep Sweet Momma. She runs the show. Now with the help from our animals I have started making my own soap, shampoo, body butter, yogurt, cleaning supplies and so much more.

Recently, we became pregnant, but unfortunately, it was brief, and we experienced a miscarriage. I do not tell you this to be sad, but to bring hope. We know this means our bodies are healing and soon our family will grow not just with animals.

Over these years, we have learned so much, and we want to share our journey of faith, family, and freedom through the naturally simple life we strive to lead. We hope to connect with others who may be struggling with the same challenges we have faced and continue to face. So please join me on my journey of being a farm momma trying to live like a pioneer in a modern world.
