Rooted in Love: Our Family Story of Homesteading, Learning, and Living Together
Welcome to Love Is The Source Farm — our home, our heart, and our living experiment in what it means to create a life of freedom, connection, and abundance. We’re a blended family of six, rooted here on 15 acres in central Florida, where the swamp meets the food forest, and where every day brings both challenge and joy.
Who We Are
We’re Hannah and Cory, parents, farmers, teachers, and dreamers. Together we’re raising four incredible kids — three older ones who live with us part-time and bring so much energy, creativity, and laughter, and our baby, who reminds us daily of the beauty of new beginnings.
We’re a blended family, figuring it out as we go, but deeply committed to creating a home filled with love, rhythm, and purpose.
Homesteading on 15 Acres
Our farm is our classroom, our sanctuary, and our playground. We tend to:
🐓 Chickens and ducks for eggs
🐝 Bees for honey and pollination
🐶 Three Great Pyrenees farm dogs who guard the land
🌳 A growing food forest with bananas, moringa, turmeric, citrus, herbs, and so much more
We live by the rhythms of nature — planting, harvesting, composting, and continually learning how to work with the land instead of against it. Every season teaches us something new.
Homeschooling & Learning Together
Education in our family doesn’t look like desks and bells. It looks like:
Harvesting honey, collecting eggs, and chopping vegetables for dinner
Math and science through building, planting, and baking
Quiet mornings with books and creative projects
Adventures into nature, YMCA trips, and community experiences
We see homeschooling as a way of keeping curiosity alive and giving our kids the freedom to learn in alignment with who they are.
Our Family Businesses
We don’t just homestead — we’ve built a lifestyle that integrates multiple small businesses, each one connected to the land and our passions. Together, we run:
🛒 Farmers Markets — where we share our farm’s products, from freeze-dried powders to honey and herbal goods. The kids even offer their homemade crafts, learning firsthand about creativity, entrepreneurship, and community exchange.
🌱 On-Site Nursery — where we grow and sell plants ready to thrive in Florida’s unique climate.
🌳 Food Forest Installations — helping others design and plant abundant, regenerative systems on their own land.
♻️ Compost Deliveries — bringing living soil and organic matter to our community, building fertility from the ground up.
🛍️ An online store featuring cacao, tallow, freeze-dried powders, herbal medicine, and more.
🧘 Yoga and wellness offerings — retreats, teacher trainings, and ceremonies led by Hannah.
This patchwork of businesses sustains us and gives us the freedom to live life on our own terms.
Hosting People From Around the World
One of the most beautiful parts of our life here is opening our farm to others. We host volunteers, WWOOFers, and visitors who come to:
Learn about permaculture and agroforestry
Experience homesteading rhythms firsthand
Connect with nature and community
Share meals, music, and stories
Every person who comes through our gates leaves an imprint on our family and carries a piece of this place back into the world.
Why We Do This
Homesteading, homeschooling, running multiple businesses, raising kids, and hosting people isn’t easy. Some days are messy, loud, and exhausting. But the deeper truth is this:
We believe in living close to the earth.
We believe in raising kids who know where their food comes from.
We believe in building a life of freedom and reciprocity, not just survival.
We believe that love truly is the source — of resilience, abundance, and joy.
This isn’t just our story. It’s our offering. To our children, our community, and anyone who feels the pull to create a life that is rooted, wild, and deeply human.
🌿 Come visit us at Love Is The Source Farm — whether at the farmers market, through our online store, for a nursery visit, or right here in Florida, where the swamp meets the food forest and the family table is always open.
