Meet the Farmhand

Emily

Emily is the heart behind Little Roots Co Homestead. From bottle feeding baby goats and lambs at all hours of the night to caring for chickens, gardens, and daily farm operations, she keeps the homestead running one chore at a time.

What started as a dream of building a slower, more intentional life quickly turned into a growing homestead filled with animals, gardens, muddy boots, and more “just one more” moments than she can count.

Emily handles the day-to-day animal care, social media, farm content, product design, order fulfillment, and homestead operations behind Little Roots Co.

Her favorite part of the homestead is raising bottle babies and sharing the reality of farm life the chaos, the humor, the hard work, and the rewarding moments in between.

When you support Little Roots Co, you’re supporting a real small family homestead built with a lot of love, long nights, and hard work.
