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.

Thousands of black-eyed Susans blooming in the unmowed section of our field, with the tree line behind

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.

From our farm

What grows here

Our farm is intentionally small. It’s part of the life we’re designing, so we grow what we love and share it close to home.

    The two of us

    We’re Lane and Jules.

    At this point in our life, we get to do the work we love together: writing books, teaching, leading workshops, and consulting. Then there’s the farm, the animals, and the garden we’re designing on purpose. A flourishing life isn’t one thing. It’s the combination. Some things aren’t negotiable: our family, our grandkids, and our relationship. Everything else is an opportunity.

    Lane Morris, PhD

    Lane has spent more than 30 years helping people and organizations grow and navigate transitions. He has been at the University of Tennessee for decades, where he is a full professor, the Fisher Professor of Innovation, and an Associate Dean at the Haslam College of Business. The farm was a shift for him, and he’s embraced it wholeheartedly. He’s passionate that every animal here gets the very best care, from the cleanest water to soft bedding, so each one feels cared for, free of fear, and like they belong.
