Our Regenerative Farm Story
We share our story selectively to protect our family's privacy while inviting you into our journey. We're currently in the creation phase of building something special. One day, we hope to welcome you for farm tours, classes, and farm-to-table experiences. For now, we're building community through the discoveries we create and share.
Hello. I'm Tiffany. This is my family. We are Team McCormick. And we like to Try New Things.
We didn't set out to build a different kind of life. We just kept following what felt true. This led us here, to this land, this work, this version of ourselves we're actually proud to live.
This is our story.
The Breaking Point
I am a little neurospicy. My brain doesn't work the way the world asks it to. It doesn't run on 9-to-5, monotony or deadlines. It doesn't fit into boxes. It needs space, autonomy, and the freedom to move at its own rhythm. (and I know I am not alone in this—maybe yours does too. If so, let's be friends. 🌿)
For years, I tried to make it work. I showed up. I masked. I tried my best to be "successful" at life. But I struggled. I was unwilling to trade my energy, my joy, my health for the obligatory daily grind that promises stability but slowly erodes you in the process.
Many of us feel this way. If you do, you're not alone. This is why we believe in trying new things—to find what actually works for YOU.
Refinement of our dreams
My family and I are truly partners in everything, and together we have intentionally built our life. To do so, we had to make sacrifices. We moved multiple times over the years — away from family and friends, but always with trust and faith. We were constantly refining what we needed to feel alive — not afraid to go where opportunity and new adventures called us.
When our youngest started school, I stopped avoiding the question that had been sitting underneath everything: What do I actually need to feel alive?
Not just to survive. Not just to get through the week. But to genuinely feel alive. To wake up and not dread it. To work and not lose myself in it.
The answer wasn't another job. It was a completely different structure. A place. Land. Time. Permission to build something on our own terms.
Adventures & Discovery
We Found It
We found land in rural Tennessee. Seven acres with soil rich from decades of stewardship. A creek that sings. Trees that have been here longer than we have. But mostly — a canvas just waiting for us to color it with intention, beauty, and the life we're building together.
A life built on real land with real intention — not just for us, but meant to be shared. We're cultivating it. Planting into it. Letting it supply abundance back to us. It wants us here. I can feel it. We're not here to get rich. We're here to live richly — with purpose, with craft, with integrity. To create beauty, inspire others, and imagine what's possible when you're willing to try new things.
When Work Becomes Play
We got straight to work. The land was calling, and we answered. We cleared decades of neglect — brush, weeds, rotting fences — not by fighting nature, but by listening to it. Every day felt less like labor and more like conversation. We were learning the language of the land, understanding what it wanted to become, and building it alongside.
We planted fruit trees first — apples, pears, plums — by hand with shovels. We caged them to protect them. Then came the berry bushes, the perennials, the baby chicks. We were trying things, learning as we went, making mistakes and figuring it out.
We're not polished. We're not finished. We're learning as we go, making mistakes, figuring it out. And that's exactly how we think it should be. It's natural for us to want to try new things.
Creating Through It All
There were seasons when my body didn't cooperate the way I needed it to. When the farm work felt heavy, or the world felt too much. In those moments, I made things. Small things. Intentional things. Clay figures, dolls, creations born from a need to create beauty even when energy was scarce.
These creations filled a void. They became a way to feel alive, to express something that couldn't be said in words. They brought me joy—quiet, persistent joy.
Now, I want to share them with you. Each one carries that intention, that care, that search for aliveness.
We keep track of them because they matter to us—they're part of our story, and we want to know where they go and the joy they bring. click here to view all keeper generations

The Dream Ahead
We're building toward something bigger. One day, we hope to open our farm to you—for tours that show you how we work with the land, classes where you can learn alongside us, and farm-to-table experiences that celebrate what grows here.
We're not there yet. Right now, we're in the creation phase—planting seeds, both literally and figuratively. But we're inviting you to be part of this journey through the discoveries we share, the products we create, and the community we're building.
When the time is right, you'll be the first to know. For now, we're grateful for your interest, your support, and your willingness to try new things with us.
Welcome to our community.
We hope you'll Try New Things with us.
