Life is a journey that constantly surprises us with new opportunities and challenges, regardless of our age. As a married couple who has surpassed the milestone of 50, we decided to embark on an adventure that many might consider unconventional, maybe even crazy – we started Sweet BombDiggity Farms. In a world where dreams often take a backseat to practicality, we chose to defy the odds and chase our building passion for farming. We hope that you join us and a growing community as we delve into the incredible journey of farming after 50.
Never Say Never: They say that dreams have no expiration date, and we wholeheartedly agree. Age should never be a barrier to pursuing what ignites your spirit. Our desire to nurture, create, and connect with nature compelled us to take the leap into farming. It was a dream that had been tucked away in our hearts for years, waiting for the perfect moment to blossom. We realized that there would never be a perfect moment unless we made it so. So, armed with determination and a willingness to learn, we embarked on this new chapter of our lives.
Living Life to Its Fullest: The decision to start Sweet BombDiggity Farms was about more than just farming; it was about living life to its fullest. After years of routine and familiarity, we craved the exhilaration of the unknown, the freedom to chart our own course. There is something truly liberating about stepping out of your comfort zone, pushing boundaries, and embracing the challenges that come with pursuing a passion. Each day on the farm brings a sense of fulfillment, as we witness the beauty of nature unfold before our eyes.
Rescue, Raise the Best, and Grow Beauty: At Sweet BombDiggity Farms, our mission goes beyond merely raising quality animals and growing small-batch produce crops. We also aim to rescue and provide a sanctuary for animals in need. Our farm will always be home to a diverse range of rescued animals. Witnessing the transformation of a creature, who was once abandoned or neglected into one that is thriving and whose faith in humans has been restored.
Furthermore, we strive to raise the best small-batch produce by learning and implementing sustainable farming practices. From nurturing organic vegetables and fruits to cultivating beautiful flowers, we put immense care into every seed sown and every crop harvested. Our farm is constantly learning and wants to be a testament to the power of responsible farming and the incredible flavors and beauty it can produce.
Love Deeply: Love is at the core of Sweet BombDiggity Farms. It’s not just the love we pour into our land and animals, but also the love we share with each other, our family and friends, and our community. We have a vision for this farm to become a gathering place where people can connect with nature, learn about animals and farming, and experience the profound joy of simplicity. It’s a place where friendships are formed, memories are made, and love and community are nurtured deeply.
Life is Short, Build the Farm: Time waits for no one, and life is indeed too short to postpone our dreams. The decision to build Sweet BombDiggity Farms wasn’t without its challenges, but with perseverance, faith, and a sense of adventure, we have reaped so many rewards. Every day on the farm is a reminder to embrace life’s possibilities, take risks, and build the future we envision.
Starting Sweet BombDiggity Farms has been a transformative experience, reaffirming our belief that age should never be a deterrent. We hope that you will join us on this journey whether you are 20 or after 50 years old.–whether you just love gardening in container pots, in your backyard, or over acres of land–whether you raise one pet or 100– the seed is planted, dreams are scalable, and there is always something to learn from each other.
Let’s get to the farm chores!
