Get to Know Whyld Chyld Farm

After twenty years surrounded by concrete, crowds, and the hum of city life, they traded noise for birdsong and pavement for soil. What started as a longing to breathe deeper became a mission to live differently — and to show others they can, too.

Today, on a small stretch of Northern Michigan earth, they’re building something rare: A regenerative farm that protects the wild instead of pushing it out. A sanctuary where biodiversity isn’t a buzzword — it’s the blueprint. A place where people can learn how to live with the land, not on top of it.

Wyld Chyld Farm is more than a project. It’s a family‑run rebellion against the idea that farming has to harm the world to feed it.

"Nothing about this place is traditional, and that's the point."

Wyld Chyld Farm is meant to be shared. It’s a classroom, a gathering place, a living example of what happens when you let nature lead. We want people to walk our paths, touch the soil, meet the animals, and feel what it’s like when a farm becomes a sanctuary.

This is our family’s wild return — and an open invitation for others to find theirs.

"We're building something gentler, wilder, and defiantly our own."
