Fig & Vine Farm began in 2015 with a move we did not expect.
When oil prices fell and Sean was laid off from his work on drilling rigs, our family left Louisiana for Central Texas. It was an uncertain season, but we believed God was calling us here. Looking back, we can see that He was putting us where we belonged.
Five acres and a lot to learn
Our five-plus acres became home and the place where we built a homestead. Over the years, we have raised goats, pigs, rabbits, sheep, and all manner of fowl. Angell has grown just about everything that will grow in this climate.
The farm has never been only one thing. It is animals at the fence, garden beds filling up, work that needs doing, and a family learning what the land can teach us.

Going dome
We also live in a dome house, which tends to make people curious. What is it like living in a dome house?
That is a circular question.
Around here, we do not go home anymore. We go dome.
Where we belong
What started with a difficult change became the place we intend to stay. This land has given us room to raise animals, grow food, make a life with our hands, and keep learning together.
We love it here. We love it here. And we have no plans to leave—ever.
