What it is
What makes two career firefighters walk away from everything they know, move across the U.S., and start a farm outside of Lexington, Kentucky? For the Flemings, it was simple. They wanted more. More time together. More authenticity. More intentionality—for each other, and for their young son. Instead of just accepting life between shifts, they drew up a vision of something different. They bet on themselves, then bet on twenty acres in the Kentucky bluegrass—chasing success and a new kind of personal relevance, 1,878 miles from home.
A story of new beginnings, courage, and what it takes to start a family farm. The mindset that drives the bus, and the people you meet along the way. The true stories of a 700-pound steer's defiant final stand. The retired Sasquatch that lived next door. A "crazy" chicken lady who turns out not to be. Honeybees, chickens, cheesecake, old dogs, last runs, baby cows, ghosts, and hard lessons learned…
A Farmer's Footsteps is about a family's search for different—and finding what matters most. This is what happened when one family decided to reach for something amazing—when they chose to walk farmer's footsteps.
