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.

[@IntrospectiveHousewife]

It depends if you grew up on a farm or were living the regular small town (rural) life. I do get sick of it once in a while because I rather have a small farm out in the countryside than live in town. We're going to look for a new place next year and hoping to find something like that in a different small town nearby. I'm never moving to a large town or city unless my life somehow gets turned upside down. I still appreciate living away from that chaos and HOA nonsense. My relatives think I'm crazy.

[@alexrusso6503]

You remind me so much of my mom. She was no farmer but just something about watching you interact with your kids and cook in those few videos ive seen made me ball my eyes out. It was beautiful to see a mom online who is actually glowing while being around her kids trying to do something without ignoring them. Any one who hates on these videos has issues. There's so many things to look at positively and be hopeful for in our own lives in these videos. From a marriage, to a business, to a happy family with children. Just stuff that seems simple but isnt and is neglected by too many ppl today. Its not about starting a farm or anything else but about those values of doing something important to you and giving it your all to build a life of actual meaning. If it helps no one else atleast your children are learning the real things behind happiness and the value of hardwork. You may not even realize it yourself and im sure your kids dont yet but those moments of them watching you in the kitchen and "helping" you are gonna mean so much some day.

You and your husband are so inspiring. Both my parents were raised on farms and I so wished all my life that I had been, too. I always wondered how my grandmothers (born in 1883) managed to do all their work while raising seven kids and my paternal grandmother raised 17 kids after giving birth to 19 after losing two at childbirth. I’m just amazed to see you all raising eight children, farming and running businesses. I certainly hope you win Mrs. World. You are so deserving. And I’m thrilled that your beautiful farm fell into your hands rather than it being developed. Sadly, so many old family farms around me are being sold to developers. Yes, our property values are soaring, but it’s so wonderful to drive by beautiful old farms, not to mention my love affair with old barns. May blessings keep raining down upon you and your wonderful family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 You and your husband are living your dream and your children are benefiting from it immensely. You all make my heart proud.

[@kibblesmcknob617]

You’ve accomplished so much in just a few years… not even a decade (10 years) yet! Whether or not you had wealth and support to begin with(it sure does make the process that much easier) it still takes determination and grit to successfully launch a farm like yours and more importantly, keep it going. I live in an exact opposite situation than yours, a neighborhood with high crime, drug abuse, domestic violence, low income, sexual trafficking, pollution… basically the very worst of the urban experience. It didn’t use to be this bad, when Covid hit, it really damaged our community. More than damaged, it took an already at-risk community and obliterated it. I’m lucky because I have a stable life, but I often wonder what I can do to help reverse the conditions around here… and after watching your videos, I think I’m going g to start with sour dough bread. I can basically walk out my front door and give it away to the hungry. I know of a family owned mill north of the city where I could get good, cheap, organic flour. Thanks so much for the inspiration! And good luck to you you and your family for 2024!

Since 2020 I’m baking sourdough bread, brewing kombucha, exercising yoga and start camping with our kids. All these stuff I would never imagine doing it if Covid hasn’t turned our life upside down. But I truely found the beauty of actually „doing“ something with my hands while calming my mind. It’s really satisfying and helped me went through several personal mental crisis.

[@jlynn20]

I love Hannah and the videos she shares. I find them inspiring and can transition small aspects of my family life towards something similar. However, I do understand people being upset over the lack of transparency about their access to wealth and resources to achieve a life like that in a matter of a couple of years. Those things matter in order for individuals to set realistic expectations when attempting to begin a life changing journey. Also, I’m a mother of 2 (soon to be 3) and knows she has childcare help as well that is never shown or discussed. I think embracing the blessings you have and sharing them honestly is more admirable than trying to portray a “we started from nothing and do it all” idea. Perhaps you had no farming experience, but you did have a foundation of resources (that most do not) to manage the beautiful life you have. I’m happy they have been able to build what they did, and am happy its people like them who have access to more wealth than the average American. I think they’re doing life right and am so supportive of their journey. ❤🤠

[@IsabelleRibeiroS]

for real, I have been following them for so long and I had no idea that they had assets and childcare, I really bought the idea that they did it all by themselves as the "true American family dream" somehow. it really changes the narrative to know these. you pointed it out perfectly, it is still inspiring, but not at all something doable for most people.

Just found you on KZbin. Great content. My Swedish great grandfather (a shoe cobbler in Sweden) moved to the Nebraska Sandhills in 1887 with his wife and four children. My grandfather was 10. Homesteaders. They all lived in a sod house until about 1930. The first winter included the Great Children’s Blizzard of February 1888. They figured out farming, too. My dad became a rancher. I love cattle.

[@rebecasanchez6410]

Now I understand how they can afford to have a nice living and cooking for all those children.... she has a full staff to help. That's great, enjoy your farm life!

[@phillipsmom6252]

Yep, the internet is fake. You see only what they want you to see. It also helps that her husband’s parents are super rich. 👍

[@angelaseverino6874]

Doesn't her husband own a jet company?I mean, these people are crazy rich and they have so many people working for them.I found this out on youtube actually

We also dipped into farm life during Covid and it really sparked similar desires for us. We moved to our small farm property (only 5 acres) last summer and we’ve raised meat birds, turkeys, and laying hens. We also got our first two dairy cows (mini jerseys) and we are hoping for a calf next fall! We both work, and homeschool our kids (3/4 of them- one attends school). And it’s a HARD life, but also beautiful. We don’t have a business, it’s very expensive to do all this. Our goal is to provide food for our family. If something grows from this, it would be a wonderful blessing. For those complaining about their wealth, or whatnot. I’m not sure they’ve ever been transparent about their finances but I too look at what they do with both envy and awe. I can guarantee we do not see the hard parts of their everyday, no one picks up a camera in the hardest moments. I’ve loved seeing the growth of their family, business and farm and hope they continue to inspire people to come back to their roots, and come back to the land. ❤

This is such a revelation! I'm even more impressed with you now, Hannah.

Hello from Chile. My name is Esmirna and I congratulate you for having left your city life to live a country life and raise your children among nature. It doesn't matter what people say about whether you had money or not, the important thing is that you made your dream come true and now while you learn about this new life, you can share it with us and we learn along with you. Thank you very much. My hug from the ends of the earth!!!

[@cahatlady]

Thanks for sharing Hannah. I started following you on IG after you went to that 1st M5 Entrepreneur workshop in Fort Jones. Your hard work is paying off & it's great to see you expanding your business & providing not just food, but jobs to your community.

[@aniitra]

Your natural beauty beats any makeup! Either way, you look gorgeous. An amazing job you are doing with that big family and multiple chores you do! I am so impressed!

[@ruth8583]

So happy for you and your family. God bless you all❤

May God continue to bless you and your family keep having those babies you and your family are amazing. I live in Utah and grew up in Yankton South Dakota

[@lindavinesett8983]

This woman is AMAZING....she never stops and 7 beautiful children so far that are happy healthy snd will be good honest Christians that can actually contribute to society rather than take from it and all the money in the world cannot buy that. God bless them and their beautiful family

[@cynthiarooke7339]

Are they Christian? Of course, it doesn’t matter… just good folks! 👍

[@bluesky7288]

Mormons are quite different from regular Christians.

[@j.p.saverance8972]

@@bluesky7288Are they mormons?

[@bluesky7288]

@@j.p.saverance8972 Yes both from large famlies of Mormons. Most of them own businesses. Father in law a billionaire, owns Jet Blue and 3 more airlines. Lots of Christians follow her. I dont think she wants to say they Are because it might turn off people to buying the products they sell. Social media is her marketing tool.

[@RossisHomestead]

Bought my house 4 years ago! I live on 10 acres in a small nothing fancy house with a small barn. I’m slowly building up my homestead. I have chickens and dogs. Hoping to add goats and cows next year. Along with a huge garden! We just got a tractor so baby steps and a lot of hard work but one day I will have my dream homestead! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@TheBallerinaFarm]

That is awesome!

[@Akshowpigs]

I love seeing people and families getting into agriculture ♥️

[@TotusTuus8]

Thank you for sharing your journey! My husband and I can relate to you guys so much! I am SO thankful I found your channel a few months back. It seems to have popped up at such an important time in our lives. We also moved from NYC to an area that is known for its agriculture and sustaining one’s own family. This lifestyle is so attractive to us now that we are raising our children in such a different world then what we grew up in. We have been going back and forth on whether we should plan on moving again and starting a little homestead. But being from the city we have no experience and have never been brought up this way! So we are learning little by little. This year we started a pretty large garden and had a great harvest! I learned how to can and preserve food for the first time. Now we are entertaining the idea of a family cow and chickens. And this solely came from watching your videos! I truly feel like it is something I can do. Anyway, I cannot express enough to you how you have inspired me! I asked for your sourdough starter kit for Christmas. Fresh bread is my next project to learn! Thank you and may you all continue to have much success! Merry Christmas to your beautiful family and Ballerina Farm! ❤

[@cahatlady]

I hope you're following her on IG, too.

[@alibarrfilmz]

What a great comment! Congratulations on taking action!

[@kat517]

You have really inspired so many young people..good luck

[@trishaorr1987]

We are planning to move to New Zealand from Canada and our daughter has a 250 head dairy farm. My dream is to have a dairy cow so we can have fresh milk, butter etc. and a beef cow for all our meat and chickens. I am now making all my own bread! On my second loaf of Ballerina Farms Sourdough which I made! So delicious! Kudos to wanting to raise your family on a farm. Just wish I did it 30 years ago.....but still going to do it small scale and I am 60 years old! Never too late to start! Much love to you all! xo

[@TheBallerinaFarm]

That’s so inspiring! Farm life is very satisfying! Congratulations!

[@jq8974]

I love family and land and working with my hands.... and moms who love being mom without coddling and buying pink stuff all day long. So thankful to find you guys ♥

[@angm6091]
