Good Vibes

JUST A DREAM

It all started here. Living in the city of Madison, a passion for animals, and a dream to give back to these creatures that show us so much love.

JUST A FARM, NOT A FARMER

Life in WIsconsin took us from the city to the farm. Embracing our new normal, my passion for animals lead me to embrace the farm life and these nutty goats joined our pack. As our family grew bigger, so did our hearts, dreams and ambitions.

GOT MILK?

After almost 10 years in Veterinary Medicine, home DIY projects were consuming my mind. Let's be honest, I became OBSESSED. In 2019 I quit my job and opened my Etsy shop, Rusty Red Rooster Decor. After 2 years of product research and development and a few bestsellers, I realized this side hustle was exactly what I was missing. This businesses relieves the creative itch that my corporate job lacks and allows me to care for my animals the way they deserve.

BALANCING ACT

After a few years on Etsy, juggling farm life and a corporate job, I was still looking for more. Because who doesn't want more stress?
