Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Stacy—writer, wife to a farmer, and mom to three in rural Montana. Years ago, I dreamed of big city life, but then, I fell in love with a farmer and moved to the middle of nowhere. Together, we’re raising the fifth generation on my husband’s family farm & ranch.
Read My Essays
I write stories for women like you and me—who never dreamed of living on a farm yet have been shaped by every part of it.
Shortly after getting married, I noticed most of the captions and stories I read on social media from rural women only highlighted the beautiful parts of agricultural life.
Was I doing something wrong that I didn’t love every second of farm life? Was I the only one struggling?
Since then, I’ve tried to be honest, sharing the struggles and challenges of rural life, all while honoring the beautiful parts too.
Because I believe life is both/and.
I tell stories to make sense of the beauty and challenges of rural life.
Maybe you can relate.
Substack
These days, most of my writing takes place on Substack. At the end of the month, I write a newsletter sharing a story + farm updates, and a couple of essays throughout the month.
