We are a conservative Christian family living in rural Kansas on an acreage. Our family consists of Tom & Dana; Brandon ('84); Sarah ('91); Nathan ('95); Jonathan ('97); Rachael ('99); and Samuel ('01). We have a growing number of cows, chickens, goats, turkeys, cats, and dogs! We have a small family business and raise grass-fed beef and pastured poultry seasonally. Our family blog has updates on family news.

dad (tom) desires to have a larger family business so we can be self-suportive, but is currently working full-time as a military contractor on Fort Leavenworth. He retired from the Army after 22 years of serving his country. He enjoys farm work, tending to the animals, and is very talented; but most of all, he loves being with his family. We could not ask for a more loving or caring leader and father!
mom (dana) is the homemaker and keeps very busy with regular duties...which include cooking, ironing, gardening, and schooling the children. She does a great job homeschooling us five children in school and gives much of her time to do this. She occasionally finds time to expand knowledge about her interests, such as canning, growing vegetables for the family, and herbs & nutritional healing. She is a Nutritional Herbologist and is very knowledgeable on herbs and their uses. She also is very dedicated to her family and takes great care of us!

brandon is currently serving his country in the U.S. Army, stationed at Ft. Bliss, Texas.

I, sarah, enjoy sewing & designing modest clothing, photography & image editing, graphic/magazine design, and learning homemakings skills. I have played piano for over ten years now, and started harp two years ago; I really enjoy music!

nathan is a very sensitive and generous brother. He is also very smart. He is our "main milker" of the five milk goats. He enjoys being outside with his brothers and playing violin--it has been neat to see him progress as he is helping Samuel learn also. He helps Mom practice cello as well.

Born on Nathan's second birthday in Korea, jonathan is our great inventor! He can figure out how to make or use just about anything, like Dad. Along with caring for the animals with Nathan and Samuel, he enjoys playing outside, climbing trees, and being in the woods. He plays piano and has a skill for music.

rachael was also born in Korea--her name means “little lamb of God” and she was born on Easter morning. She enjoys being with her brothers and is usually involved in about anything they are doing. She likes to cook, be outside, and play piano.

samuel has quite a character, being the youngest! He is always with his big brothers and loves to zoom around on his bike, climb trees, “hunt” animals, and play violin.
