Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Stacy—writer, wife to a farmer, and mom to three in rural Montana. Years ago, I dreamed of big city life, but then, I fell in love with a farmer and moved to the middle of nowhere. Together, we’re raising the 5th generation on my husband’s family farm & ranch.
Read My Essays
I write stories for women like you and me—who never dreamed of living on a farm yet have been shaped by every part of it.
Shortly after getting married, I noticed most of the captions and stories I read on social media from rural women only highlighted the beautiful parts of agricultural life.
Was I doing something wrong that I didn’t love every second of farm life? Was I the only one struggling?
Since then, I’ve tried to be honest, sharing the struggles and challenges of rural life, all while honoring the beautiful parts too.
Because I believe life is both/and.
I tell stories to make sense of the beauty and challenges of rural life.
Maybe you can relate.
Substack
These days, most of my writing takes place on Substack. Each month, I write a newsletter sharing a story + farm updates, as well as an interview series: Rural Women Cultivating a Life They Love.

Rural life can be lonely—let’s be friends! I love connecting with fellow women in agriculture and women interested in learning about this rural life. Send me a message, and let’s chat!
