It’s another example of how their operation has evolved to include not only production agriculture, but also education, mentorship, and new ways of bringing people into farming.

Part 7 of Amber’s story is how the farm has evolved over the years. As the operation has grown, the family has continued to find new ways to share agriculture with others. Her children have developed their own farm market, giving them hands-on experience in agriculture, business, and connecting with customers. The family has also added a farm stay through a rental house on the farm, where they offer farm experiences that help visitors learn more about agriculture while providing supplemental income for the operation.

In Part 6, Amber shares about their family getting settled into Stone County as Austin began his teaching career in Mountain View.

Agriculture continued to be a big part of family life. They still had their goats, and as the kids got older, they began showing lambs and pigs. Before long, the family added hair sheep to the farm as well.

Each new chapter brought new experiences, new livestock and plenty of opportunities for the kids to learn and grow along the way.

In Part 5, Amber shares about she and Austin making the move to Stone County and the search for a place to call home.

She tells the sweetest story about how they ended up finding Miss Viola’s house — a home that already held special meaning because Amber had known Miss Viola while growing up there.

Sometimes the right place finds you in the most unexpected way, and this part of Amber’s story is such a good example of that.

In Part 4, Amber shares how their farming journey started small, growing gardens in their backyard and at her in-laws’ home in a subdivision. Eventually, they purchased an old farm in Bono and went to work bringing it back to life. They added a flock of laying hens, grew fresh produce for their family, and eventually added Boer show goats to the farm. What started with a simple backyard garden was quickly growing into something much bigger!
