Meet Brooke and her five beautiful children
This is Brooke and her five beautiful children. Her husband, Billy is a New York City firefighter and a fourth generation farmer on Long Island. While working on their family farm in Long Island, Brooke had a bigger dream for her children. She had always wanted to live in upstate New York, own a horse farm, and give her children a little more space to run free. When the pandemic hit, Billy jokingly sent her a text saying, “Now is the time to get that dream started!” She took him seriously and began looking for land. She found a 30 acre horse farm in upstate New York. It had a 20 stall barn and a little three bedroom farmhouse that needed a lot of work. She sat down with Billy and hashed out a plan. They didn’t let the fear of the unknown stop them. She says they promised to never to look at the years. They see the challenges as days and they vowed to fill those days with beautiful memories. Originally, when they started the project, she thought that she would board horses. During that first year, she hosted a community event and saw the positive effects of farm life on the local children. She decided to transition the facility from boarding horses into a space where kids can play, enjoy nature, animals, and farm life. In the past three years, she began hosting some community events. Recently, she hosted an event with the mindset that if she got 100 attendees then it would be a success. The event ended up having 700 attendees! The family is incredibly grateful for the support of their community and hopes that they can leave a beautiful legacy and traditions for future generations. The one thing they want to tell the world is, “Dream Big!” Thank you for visiting!
