Sweet BombDiggity Farms

It’s never too late to design a flourishing life.

We’re Lane and Jules.

We’ve spent our careers helping people and organizations navigate change, embrace transitions, and design what’s next. Then one day, we asked ourselves a simple question:

“What if we turned that same design process on our own life?”

So, here we are.

At Sweet BombDiggity Farms, we’re intentionally designing a life that flourishes, one season, one experiment, and one good day at a time.

And we’re sharing what we learn along the way: garden guides, recipes from the farm kitchen, stories from our farm rescues, a devotional every Sunday, and practical ideas for creating a life with more purpose, joy, and possibility.

We’re designing our what’s next. Maybe we can help you design yours.

A field we almost missed

We mowed right past it for years.

There’s a section of our field we kept mowed, season after season, without ever knowing black-eyed Susans were growing there. This year we let it go a little longer, and it came up in thousands of blooms.

We’re not mowing it anymore.

That field is why we believe it’s never too late. Sometimes the flourishing is already there. You just have to stop mowing it down.

    The two of us

    We’re Lane and Jules.

    Here on our own farm, we’re designing our life on purpose. We have a heart for these animals and this land, and somehow it all works together: the work and the life, the goals and the dreams, the farm and the garden. That’s what a flourishing life looks like to us.
