After moving from Edmonton to a rural farm in Alberta for love, life changed dramatically. Despite having a stable urban job and social life, the allure of a quiet farming existence became a catalyst for deeper fulfillment. Quickly adapting to life where cows outnumber humans, the transition fostered an appreciation for the peaceful surroundings and community. Over the years, love blossomed not only for the partner but also for the neighbors and environment, resulting in a profound sense of belonging and happiness in family life.
When I first moved to the farm, my friends had questions. I had a social reputation, and people wondered how I'd handle living in the middle of nowhere.
I had built a life I was proud of, and that life had absolutely nothing to do with cows. Then, I met a farmer.
From the second I moved, I never questioned my decision. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with my new neighbors, the nearby community.
Over 15 years later, I love my life, enjoy raising kids here, and have learned what community means.
