Welcome to our 50-acre family farmstead, Buffalo Acres. We are John and Tisha. Along with our three awesome kids; Tyler, Jacob, and Rylee, and grandparents; Nana and Papa, we are living 100% off-grid in the high desert of Northern Arizona.
The adventure is just beginning…
Like most of you, the years from 2019 to 2021 really opened our eyes to changes that were taking place in society. Lockdowns and empty store shelves; mask mandates and experimental vaccines; wars, riots and entire neighborhoods being turned upside down… it was like the world was going crazy. Then our oldest son’s first day as a high school freshman was met with sounds of gun shots! Thank God those sounds turned out to be large firecrackers being set off in the trash cans outside. It may have been a stunt, but it was enough to convince us that we needed a change. We decided to stop dreaming about it and take that leap of faith! We sold the majority of everything we owned, including our home, and moved to the country. We bought a camp trailer and 50 acres of raw land just outside of Seligman, Arizona and there, 65 miles from the nearest Walmart or Home Depot, Buffalo Acres was born…
As you explore our expansive grounds, you’ll encounter three barns that serve as homes to our beloved livestock. Our egg-laying chickens roam freely, providing us with fresh and nutritious eggs every day. The goats add their playful energy to the mix, with their endearing personalities and gentle nature. Witnessing the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals is a captivating experience that offers a deeper appreciation for the interdependence of farm life.
In addition to our thriving livestock, our farm is a hub of creativity. We have artisans who specialize in crafting leather goods, each piece a testament to their skill and dedication. From hand-stitched wallets to finely tooled accessories, our leather creations embody both functionality and artistry. Furthermore, our ceramic pottery is crafted with meticulous care, showcasing the beauty and versatility of this timeless art form. Each pottery piece, shaped by hand and fired to perfection, bears the mark of our farm’s heritage.
Beyond the enchanting sights and sounds, our farm is a place where nature’s rhythms harmonize with our commitment to sustainable practices. We prioritize responsible land management, cultivating an environment that promotes biodiversity and conservation. Our dedication to ethical farming and craftsmanship extends to every aspect of our operation, ensuring that each visitor experiences the authenticity and integrity of our farm.
