About

Mari and Denis once lived in the heart of the city, navigating fast-paced careers in technology and academia. The energy and opportunities were exciting, but something was missing—a connection to the natural world, a slower, more intentional way of life.

Hoping to find a better balance, they moved to the suburbs with their young children. Mari continued working at a large university while also exploring her growing passion for agriculture and sustainability. Denis, always handy, poured his skills into renovating their home and garden. But even in the suburbs, they still felt disconnected from the land.

Then one day, they stumbled upon a small property in the countryside. It felt right—like a place where they could finally put down real roots. Taking a leap of faith, they packed up their lives and embraced the challenges of rural living.

The transition wasn’t always easy, but they welcomed the hard work. Mari blended her academic background with hands-on learning, diving deep into farming and sustainable living. Denis took on the task of building and restoring the farm’s infrastructure, making their new home truly their own.

For Mari, the heart of the farm is the flowers. From seed to bloom, she nurtures every stem with care. Letting them go isn’t always easy, but seeing the joy they bring to others makes it worthwhile. Her passion for flowers is contagious, and her bouquets have become a favorite in the community.

Beyond the flowers, the farm is also home to a small herd of goats. More than just adorable companions, they help manage the grass and invasive plants. Mari and Denis take pride in raising them with care, and over time, the goats have become part of the family.

Today, Mari and Denis work side by side, with their children playing and learning alongside them. Their journey—from city life to the suburbs to the farm—has been full of challenges, but also deep fulfillment.
