About Us

I didn’t grow up farming. There wasn’t a master plan or a long family lineage tied to the land. What I did have was a growing feeling that the life I was living wasn’t quite lining up with the kind of life I wanted to raise my kids in. In 2016, I moved my family to 15 acres in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. I had three kids—Vivianne, Dashel, and Shepherd—and a strong instinct that childhood should include dirt, responsibility, boredom, creativity, and freedom in equal measure. I was looking for space to breathe, room to roam, and the chance to build something slower and more grounded together. ​​We started with three animals.​​..That number didn’t last long. ​​As I shared daily life on the farm, animals began arriving—some planned, many not. Friends reached out. Rescues needed help. Word got around that this was a safe place to land. Over time, The Good Place Farm grew into a working homestead filled with animals, personalities, and the kind of constant motion that comes with caring for living things every day. ​​I’m a first-generation farmer, which mostly means everything I know was learned by doing it the hard way. Before farming, I worked as a filmmaker and storyteller. That background taught me how to pay attention—to notice what matters, to sit inside the messiness of real life, and to tell the truth without trying to make it prettier than it is. That instinct guides how I farm, how I parent, and how I share this life. ​​The farm grew slowly and honestly. Pastures were added. Fences were fixed and rebuilt. The garage became a creative space. My kids were homeschooled and grew up alongside the work—feeding animals, learning to drive a tractor, doing schoolwork on hay bales, making music and art, growing food, and understanding early that care is something you practice daily, not something you talk about. ​​Somewhere along the way, I started sharing farm life online—not as content, but as documentation. The beautiful moments, the exhausting ones, and everything in between. What surprised me was how many people connected to it. That small act of sharing grew into a community of over one million people across social media platforms—people who saw themselves in the chaos, the humor, and the quiet tenderness of this life. ​​The Good Place Farm now exists both here on the land and far beyond it, as a place to tell honest stories, inspire people to slow down, and remind them that meaningful work is often messy and imperfect. Whether you visit in person or follow along from afar, you’re part of this story too. The Good Place Farm represents a newer generation of farming families—people who didn’t inherit this life, but chose it. It’s a working farm, a family home, and a place built around care: for animals, for land, and for the kids growing up in the middle of it all. ​We named it The Good Place because, short of heaven, this is as close as I think you’re gonna get.
