Annette Thurmon is a modern-day homesteader who lives with her husband, Jared, and their daughter Ava in the small town of Adairsville, Georgia. After years of city life, she sought a simpler way of living and moved to the country. There she cares for her organic garden and orchard, and animals which include alpacas, miniature donkeys, chickens, turkeys, bees, and more! She is self-taught and loves sharing with others what she has learned over the years.
Her goal is to inspire others to live this lifestyle and share her daily adventures on social media - @azurefarm, her website - azurefarm.com, and the Azure Farm Podcast which she hosts with her husband.
