SHARING OUR DREAM WITH YOU
This channel is all about the adventures, hard work, and farm lifestyle chosen by two city kids who wanted live the dream of modern farming, while preserving the quality of life found in traditional home cooking and living off the land.
Nestled in the fertile, mountain valleys of Utah, Ballerina Farm is named after Hannah, a former Miss New York City and graduate of the Juilliard School of Dance. Daniel is a history major and now holds his MBA to guide the ever-growing business. The children are wild, hardworking, and homeschooled by their mother as they learn to farm, rodeo, dance, and grow barefoot and free.

Thanks! So many challenges with the winter weather but the team really came through and we'll be opening our doors soon!

That’s amazing! My Dad worked at a dairy farm and he was the one who milked the cows.. even though the milking machines were hard at work he was the one to bring cows into the milking barn and then manually switched them out after milking and cleaning between cows .. he worked hard and he always smelled like a cow barn.. technology has come a long way as far as milking cows goes .. what a cool barn and farm you have!! Much love to all❣️

[@savannahjones299]

A family that uses their money to do something like this should be praised. And yes you have to have money to do this. But understand they didn't start off with all this they worked hard on all of it if you gave some time to listen to their story. when your business grows your able to do more. Theyve been doing this for a few years now and haven't just gotten started. Maybe you shouldn't listen to every rumer you hear. I think what they are doing is awesome and beneficia. It inspires me. I don't compare my life to theirs and im not a failure just because im not blessed in the same way. Thats okay. They are blessed to do what they do and i appreciate that they're putting their money towards something like this instead of an outlandish life with a diet that will eventually cause extreme health issues. Keep doing what your doing ballerina farm.

Wow!! It's state of the art. Since this video was taken months ago, has the dairy barn now been completed. I can not wait to see the final reveal. I think about you and your family often. Please tell your Mama she is in my prayers.

[@brendahofer4640]

My family farm is struggling so much to keep our family farm still in the family since the 1800 ……. It makes me so sad to see family’s devastated by the current dairy industry ….. How much money is being put into this barn with robots and state of the art equipment, when family mom and pop farms are going out of business and there family heritage is being lost for ever . There is know way you could afford an operation like this unless you have endless of money or know someone that can use funding or grants that was given . I wish you and your family best of luck , it is a beautiful set up !

[@dorothyg6269]

Agreed. I have mixed feelings about this family. It’s great they want to farm and have a “simple” life but he comes from a family that has boatloads of money so they can afford it easily. Farming is hard and it’s not something you just jump into … unless you have lots of money.

[@lenabeltran5920]

So they have too much money to be farmers? That makes no sense. If they have the ability and desire to use their resources this way then they should. This set up is not putting the small farms out of business, it’s the places that cut corners and can drive profits up by doing the bare minimum to care for their animals.

[@catherineg6861]

I don’t think it’s necessary to guilt people by what they’re investing in. It’s unfortunate your family and other farmers are going through that. It’s none of your business really what they buy with THEIR money, how much they’re worth, or whatever else people like you are hung up on. I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to celebrate a successful small business that gives jobs to people.

[@user-mk6uq3bu6v]

They have 8 million followers, do you know how much money that makes them? A ton. They built the farm and their community, they built this from the bottom up and you’re trying to make them feel guilty because you’re family wasn’t successful?

[@catherineg6861]

@@dorothyg6269 and how do you know what their finances are? How do you know they got it from his father! They’ve built their business from the ground up and they’ve documented everything on their IG account, including when their first farm didn’t do well. They’re very transparent and show a lot of the behind the scenes. Mixed feeling about what exactly? Celebrating a small business that gives people jobs? Yet I’m sure you’re still one of the millions that supports Bezos by buying through Amazon. Do you have mixed feelings about that too? Or maybe you have mixed feelings about the other things you buy.

[@kamivelasquez3119]

​@@bluesky7288Good thing, too, because she is hardworking and very busy. With the farm growing the way it is and their social media accounts becoming quite successful, there is no way one person could do everything that needs to be done in their home. I needed to have a nanny as a single mother of four - in order to do full time medical transcription. I was not even close to being wealthy. Hannah's videos share lots of great looking recipes. The kids are healthy and loved. Many well to do people live much more shallow lives.

MAM, her father in law is a billionaire! She employs a personal assistant and home school teacher for the children as well as baby sitters. They are devout Mormons from equally large families. They had 20 employees but now hired many more. This is a BUSINESS and youtube is her marketing. Go online to her store where you can but much of the cooking ingredients, cookware and meats.

​@@bluesky7288You're so naive if you think wealthy people don't install in their own children their own work ethics to become wealthy themselves. Generational wealth isn't built by giving all your money to your children without them having to do anything on their own. You and I don't know their business model for the barn but I can guarantee you that her billionaire father in law didn't gift them no money.

[@bluesky7288]

@@JaZmine147 He is the ONLY boy in a rich family of 9 so his father favors him. Mormons believe in traditional non working mothers. All of them have trust funds set up for them. That's how you shelter income from taxes. Look at the Trump family. So her husband has access to lots of money and the bank will loan to him. Farm cost $2.75 million. Then Had to build house. Now bought 2nd farm and building store and dairy for 180 cattle. You are naive.
