Definitely not the smoothest. I have gotten really lucky in terms of opportunities and experiences, but that doesn’t mean that my own self discovery and trials as a freelance artist have been easy.

The name Growing Hearts represents a greater purpose behind everything we do, not just on our farm but in how we desire to live life. We are believers in Jesus Christ, passionate about discipleship and growing in love for His people. One of the things we love about farming is how it instills resilience, faith, and resolve in our kids. So one reason we do this is because it’s just another way of growing THEIR hearts. Read more>>
