About The Farmer Took a Wife

The Farmer Took a Wife is a faith-filled and farmland-inspired graphic tee business located in rural Nebraska. In 2015, I started this business after stepping away from teaching to stay home with my daughters. A Silhouette Cameo sparked my creativity, and I launched an Etsy shop called Say Something Tees and More. I wanted shirts that reflected meaningful messages rather than just princesses or TV characters. Farm-themed designs quickly became my best sellers, leading to a 2017 rebrand as The Farmer Took a Wife. Today, our business is a family effort on our Nebraska farm. My husband, Eric, and I, along with our three kids, work together on everything from packaging to spreading the word. It’s a reflection of our faith, family values, and rural lifestyle. In 2023, I returned to teaching middle school full-time at my children’s rural school, balancing teaching, farm life, and the business. As I look ahead to 2025, my focus is shifting toward wholesale, with a goal of getting unique farm-inspired tees into the hands of small rural boutiques. Our products are designed to celebrate faith, farm life, and family, offering something truly special for those who love the rural way of life. Read their story
