    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.

    I do counseling and the advice I give everyone with martial issues is: families do best when mom and dad are both home and everyone helps and has fun and healthy work - so if you can do that...do it. It's how families are supposed to be till the money system came and forced fathers from their homes and families, and the issues grew from there. Thrilled for y'all!

      I remember when I started school how nice it was to have my mom home. Then when I was 10 my parents divorced and my mother had to work. I ended up becoming a second mother to my younger siblings. When I married and had children I worked. I had surgery and while recuperating that is when my children told me how nice it was to come home from school and find me home. My husband and I work as a team and will celebrate our 50th anniversary this year.

    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.

    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’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!

      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.

    They are perfectly content with what they have.
    I think The Ballerina Farm is a true statement of being a family, who work hard , play hard & appreciate life together.

    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. ❤🤠

      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.

      @Booboonancy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I’m 20 minutes new to this channel and I was thinking that they already had serious assets. Of course, it doesn’t take away what they have accomplished but it is not a trivial detail. My first inkling was seeing the AGA oven, now that’s serious equipment 😂

      I am always happy for people when they have more than I do because I know they have worked hard to accomplish their goals. It doesn’t matter to me if it was given to them by a wealthy family or they worked their fingers to the bones I am still happy. For I am Thankful for my many Blessings and am very content in the life God has given me. You go girl!!!

    Continue not paying any mind to the enviers that think every single high/middle class american should stay in the city and live a luxury/modern life - well according to GOD true luxury is in heaven, we love you Hannah, i pray for your fruitful family everytime your face pops up lol.

    Dear Hannah, thank you for sharing these stories! I’ve watched your videos for quite a long time and I always wondered why on earth would a former ballerina become a farmer and raise 8 children 😂 but I totally understand it! You and your husband are remarkable brave persons to live your dreams! Covid 19 has changed my personal life too. 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. Still I admire how you raise 8 children, own your business and still being able to manage all these stuff around the farm. Big LOVE for that!❤ pls keep doing what you like and what inspires you! All the best for you and your family! Greetings from Germany! 🇩🇪 Celine

If you have seen what her father-in-law has done in the aviation business, you would know that their families are no strangers to hard work, and I think deserve every success.

    Just found you on TH-cam. 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.

  • @TallBirdAcresHomestead

    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. ❤
