How it all began

Today Firefly Farm is home to Lauren and Chad but looking back to the very beginning of Firefly... Way back in the before times (covid) in the summer of 2019, Chad and I were out on a random afternoon country drive and a tiny for sale sign tacked to a post in the trees caught my eye as we passed and I yelled; “Stop the car”! I’m sure Chad thought I was nuts but that’s not the first time haha - he stopped, backed up and I think I was out of the car before he even stopped.I ducked under the rickety gate (which brought a flood of happy childhood memories- a story for another day) and I stood in the most beautiful meadow, that was untouched for years and full of wild flowers. As my finger tips grazed the grasses in the wind (another core memory) I thought - this is it. This is where I’ve been moving towards my whole life. So began the hardest and wildest ride of even buying this land. I honestly wouldn’t even let myself believe it would happen. It took weeks of back and forth and much negotiation… I held my breath every time the phone rang and then this heavenly place in the Slate was ours. 55 acres of nature. I couldn’t believe it. Even now most days I still can’t.
