<p>Growing up, Kentucky was simply a place I couldn&rsquo;t wait to be free of.&nbsp; I was way too big for such a small town, and as soon as I was ready for college, I was out of there.&nbsp; I studied painting at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.&nbsp; Then, it was on to Italy.&nbsp; Next, Chicago.&nbsp; My plan was to just keep moving, traveling, seeing as much of the world as possible, never settling down.</p> <p>But it was in Chicago that I met some urban beekeepers, and I fell in love with bees.&nbsp; And in learning about bees, I started to learn about food.&nbsp; As I became more and more interested in where my food came from, I started to understand that this wasn&rsquo;t just an interest of mine, but a passion.&nbsp; When I decided to learn how to farm, it became obvious that there was no better place than my very own Kentucky.&nbsp; And so, this nomadic city girl settled down on the farm&ndash;&ndash;Bugtussle, Kentucky, to be exact.&nbsp; It was truly the simple life &ndash; we&rsquo;re talking no electricity, no cell phones, no bathrooms.&nbsp; But while living at Bugtussle, I fell in love with the simplicity.&nbsp; I fell in love with the state I had so despised, with the dirt, the vegetables, the pigs, and, of course, the other intern.&nbsp; Jesse and I soon began making our own plans, and things just seemed to work themselves out over and over&ndash;&ndash;we started our own farm - Rough Draft Farmstead. We ran a CSA and had amazing customers. We had chickens and bees and rabbits. And then we were kicked off our our land. BUT - beautifully, we were offered some land back in BUGTUSSLE of all places. It is our dream come true - and now we are building an off-the-grid cabin on our new homestead. Read more about the campaign <a href="../../bugtussle" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>- Hannah.</p>
