Our Background

Hi! We're Mark and Kristi. Our story began in 2004 when we married with a shared dream: to build a life full of animals, laughter, and a little bit of chaos. Every child we’ve welcomed into our lives has added more joy (and yes, a little more chaos) to our journey. For over a decade, we poured our hearts into running a dog and cat rescue, saving thousands of animals from our local shelter. Those years taught us the power of compassion, the resilience of animals, and the incredible difference a loving home can make. Today, our dream has grown into a beautiful reality on our hobby farm. Here, we embrace the wild, wonderful days that come from raising kids and caring for our animals. From the playful antics of our creatures to the everyday lessons they teach, our lives are richer because of them. We believe deeply in the importance of connecting kids with animals. Whether it’s fostering compassion, teaching responsibility, or simply finding joy in the small moments, there’s something magical about growing up surrounded by creatures big and small. On our farm, we focus on raising animals with care, ensuring they become good stock for other families in our community. We also channel our passion into designing apparel inspired by this life we’ve chosen — celebrating the laughter, lessons, and love that come from living alongside animals. Thank you for stopping by and joining us on this journey. Whether you’re here for a glimpse of farm life, to find a thoughtful design, or just to share in our passion for animals, we’re so glad you’re here!
