Who we are
At Azure Farm, we believe in laughter, loving fiercely, and slow living. We believe in pursuing a life where less is more and embracing nature’s blessings. We want to create a community with those both near and far and, hopefully, inspire you to slow down and enjoy the simple things.
We created our on-demand video platform - HomeGrown - to entertain and educate anyone looking to begin this journey. It is our greatest joy to share organic gardening ideas, ways to care for your animals, inspiration for your home, and healthy garden-to-table recipes.
LET’S MEET
OUR FAMILY
Farm Mom, ANNETTE!
Hi Friend! I’m Annette and I’m so happy to have you be a part of our journey. I'm a midwest girl turned southern belle after marrying my husband, Jared. I studied nursing in college, designed wedding gowns for many years, then returned to nursing.
Although I LOVED those careers, I knew I had a calling for more. So I transitioned to full-time farmgirl, homemaker, and mom. We were blessed with a beautiful baby girl in 2019. Ava Rose is already following in her mother's footsteps and taking over the cooking in the household!
Simple Country living became my passion, and my love for the farm became my full-time job. Learning to slow down and live with intention has been so rewarding. I look forward to learning all I can as I witness all of God’s creations daily on the farm.
ideas guy, JARED!
Howdy, Y'all! You know how some people have various hobbies and addictions? Mine is ideas - I love coming up with new ways to do something. I love to learn about things people believe that are outside the typical. I like to think of myself as a contrarian.
When not scooping Alpaca manure to put around our plants, I'm probably working on a marketing plan or writing an article or script for my day job. I love living in the sticks (that's code for country) and think everyone was destined for this.
I believe kindness is king, candor is queen and making remarkable experiences for those around us is the essence of life. If you have any ideas, questions, or just want to tell me where to buy a razor, I'd love to hear from you :)
OUR little girl, Ava rose
Ava Rose joined the farm in 2019 and it has been an amazing adventure ever since. You can daily find Ava singing to the chickens as they parade out of the coop, or cooking with Annette making yummy recipes.
She brings so much joy and laughter to the farm and we can’t wait to see what adventures the years will bring.

OUR FARM CELEBRITIES
It started with chickens and ended up being a zoo.
Well, almost ;-)
Today we've got chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas, a goose, alpacas, donkeys, a miniature horse, rabbits, goats, and barn cats!
Although we may think we run things around here, the animals actually run the show!
If it's not our Alpacas strutting their stuff, or our chickens demanding snacks, it is Oscar the cat making himself comfortable in our planter boxes!
Nevertheless, we adore every single one of our animals.
They make us laugh and keep us on our toes.
We truly are a #happyfarmily
THE Story BEHIND AZURE FARM
Our story
Azure Farm is located about an hour north of Atlanta, Georgia. Seven years ago, we moved out here to make our dream come alive and start our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics.
Our desire for bling and phones that ding quickly diminished and was replaced by a love for gardening, harvesting food, caring for animals, quiet evenings, and sunny azure skies.
The farm is our happy place, our safe-haven!
There's nothing more fun and fulfilling than working with our hands and being blessed with the garden’s produce or having the privilege of caring for animals and experiencing their affection. It stirs an unmatched sense of appreciation and accomplishment.
We want the same for you!
We are passionate about sharing our love for gardening and what we have learned about growing the most nutrient dense produce possible. We love animals and sharing what has worked fo us in raising them and how they can be a great blessing in your life. We also believe in sharing healthy garden-to-table recipes that are made solely from plants.
We hope sharing peeks into our daily life can inspire you to enjoy the outdoors more, slow down, and appreciate what matters. We hope you enjoy these special moments with us and even recreate them in your own home.
Thank you for following along and allowing us to join you on your journey!
Fun facts
Our photos
Most images on Annette’s Instagram unless otherwise noted were taken and edited on Annette’s iPhone!
Photography has always been a passion of hers and it is a joy to capture beautiful images around the farm.
Below are the two photographers whom Annette loves and whose work you see on this website.
Logo
The flower you see in the Azure farm logo is a peach blossom. Being from Georgia peaches are one of our favorite fruit to grow in our organic orchard. They represent so much of what we love and do at Azure Farm.

did you know?
We are a plant-based homestead and farm. None of our animals are used for their meat or dairy and we ourselves don’t eat meat or dairy. it is a way of living and eating we have found to bring us the best health.
Our animals all serve a specific purpose on the farm and we are grateful for their “ help”around the farm.
For delicious plant-based recipes go to our Recipe Box.
Random fun fact
Annette does most of her farm chores in a bathrobe each day. She likes to call it #bathrobechores. I mean let’s face it bathrobes are warm and cozy so why not.
If you do the same be sure to tag Annette so she can share in the excitement alongside you.
OUR PODCAST
Our podcast is where it is at if you are looking for a weekly dose of laughter, some farm stories, inspiration, and some heart-to-heart talks.
It's a creative way for us to give you a behind-the-scenes peek into our daily life and farm shenanigans.
There may be a lesson or two in there, but mostly Jared entertains Annette with his lame jokes ;-)
You can find us on iTunes and Spotify!
