Well folks, we’ve got some catching up to do over here. In the past month, we’ve given away most of our belongings, converted our sprinter van into a home for the road, and we have set out on an adventure to find our home & farm (Click for video!).
What was once a dream has become a reality and we can’t wait to share it with all of you. As I grew our 1/10th acre plot in Santa Cruz into a small permaculture homestead, I started realizing how much I dream of doing this on a larger scale, with space to teach others as well on the same land. And so, after years of thinking about this, Justin and I decided what better time than now to put these dreams in motion.
The biggest question became… where? Where do we set up this community farm school? Well, the world is our lobster as I like to say.
We are starting with exploring North America, interviewing regenerative farmers and folks within communities to learn what they love about the land they decided to call home. We will explore how climate change has been affecting land throughout these regions and how farmers are responding to these new challenges. And through all of this we know we will not only find home, but grow an incredible circle of friends far and wide to enjoy life’s adventures with.
If you know of a regenerative farm interested in sharing the hard work they are doing to save our soils, please have them fill out the following form for us to see about scheduling a visit:

Join us for our search to find Smiling Soil Farm – Follow our Instagram & Youtube for regular updates. I will be sure to also share stories from the road here as well
Big smiles,
