Once Upon a Farm: Lessons on Growing Love, Life, and Hope on a New Frontier

National Bestseller

Sometimes its not only what we plant but where were planted.

Now raising their four-year-old daughter, Indiana, alone, after Joeys passing, Rory Feek digs deeper into the soil of his life and the unusual choices he and his wife, Joey, made together and the ones hes making now to lead his family into the future. 

When Rory Feek and his older daughters moved into a run-down farmhouse almost twenty years ago, he had no idea of the almost fairy-tale love story that was going to unfold on that small piece of Tennessee land . . . and the lessons he and his family would learn along the way.

Now two years after Joeys passing, as Rory takes their four-year-old daughter Indianas hand and walks forward into an unknown future, he takes readers on his incredible journey from heartbreak to hope and, ultimately, the kind of healing that comes only through faith.

A raw and vulnerable look deeper into Rorys heart, Once Upon a Farm is filled with powerful stories of love, life, and hope and the insights that one extraordinary, ordinary man in bib overalls has gleamed along the way.

As opposed to homesteading, this is instead a book on lifesteading as Rory learns to cultivate faith, love, and fatherhood on a small farm while doing everything, at times, but farming. With frequent stories of his and Joeys years together, and how those guide his life today, Rory unpacks just what it means to be open to new experiences.

This isnt a how-to book; its more of a how we, or more accurately, how He, God, planted us on a few acres of land and grew something bigger than Joey or I could have ever imagined.
