Transcript excerpt

Ballerina Farm is quietly building an agritourism empire. It began in 2017 when the couple bought 328 acres in Utah. What started as sharing their homesteading life online has grown into a 10,000,000 follower community and a $7,000,000 e worse business selling sourdough kits, meats, and homewares. In 2023, the family visits France, specifically French dairy farms for inspiration. In 2025, the couple attends Ballymaloy Cookery School in Ireland. They visit farm hotels and return home to open a farm stand in Camas and a flagship store in Midway, where the lines are reportedly out the door. Local approvals have paved the way for a 14 acre agritourism site with orchards, gardens, and a creamery. Today, we're not just watching a content empire. We're watching the next great American agritourism destination being built in public in real time.
