Hannah and Daniel Neeleman, the dynamic duo behind Ballerina Farm, are turning heads with their unique approach to family and business. Based in scenic Kamas, Utah, this couple has been documenting their lives online since launching their farm in 2017, showcasing everything from homesteading to raising eight children—soon to be nine! While Hannah embraces the challenges of farm life, she’s also firmly stated that she doesn’t identify as a “trad wife,” even though social media often tries to place her in that box.
Daniel isn’t just playing the supportive husband; he actively claims the title of co-CEO alongside Hannah, navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship together. Their journey began back in college, where they started dating, with Daniel even putting his lacrosse career on hold to support Hannah as she studied at Juilliard. Now, as they adapt to the exciting chaos of larger family life and a thriving farm business, they continue to challenge stereotypes and redefine what teamwork looks like in parenting. Who knew managing livestock and kids alike could make for such captivating content?
Their story gives a refreshing glimpse into modern family dynamics, all while juggling nine kids—because why not make it a party! Imagine the family gatherings; it sounds more like a sitcom than reality. Let’s just hope their house is big enough!
