About Us

Meet John and Sydney

At our core, we are nature people. It is what has driven most of our passions and decisions throughout our lives. We met in 2011 as brand new zookeepers, ready to make a difference in the lives of the animals we cared for and the people we encountered. During our 10 years of zookeeping, the idea for Leaf and Feather Farms grew in our hearts.

In 2021, we moved from Houston, Texas to the Michigan to pursue our new dream. It took over a year of searching, but at the end of 2022 we moved in to our new home and Leaf and Feather Farms began.

OUR GOALS

-Create comfortable accommodations and memorable experiences for guests

-Share our passion and knowledge about the wildlife and ecosystems around us

-Make connection to nature fun and accessible

-Encourage sustainable and environmentally friendly attitudes and behaviors

WE WERE ON TV!

We had the opportunity to film our home buying experience on HGTV’s House Hunters! Because we were looking for both a home and acreage to build Leaf and Feather Farms from, our property search was complicated and led us to a lot of weird places. Now we can share some of those experiences with you! Check out Episode 22907 and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates on this adventure.
