Welcome to Our Best Life Hobby Farm, where everyone gets to live their best life.
The idea of rescuing farm animals started when Pete and I were first married. We have always both loved animals and I have always wanted to own a pet pig (I even put it in my wedding speech). This farm is our dream come true.
Fast forward to now, we have 2 amazing sons Maks and George, who were both born with autism, and are minimally speaking and nonspeaking. George is also diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
We didn't know what their interests would be. As adults, Maks loves all things landscaping, George loves all things creative (especially baking).
Sadly, there aren't many opportunities for people with their profiles to be given a chance to learn new skills, and offered purposeful and meaningful work.
Pete and I combined all our interests and thus Our Best Life Hobby Farm was created.
We wanted to be able to grow something that we could put funds back into the farm to support the animals. We wanted something that could be standardized, skills that could be built on and also it is very important to be part of our community. Flowers seemed like the PERFECT fit! We are growing our family's roots in community and nature one flower at time.
