BRYARTON FARM: Our Story
After meeting in college Michael and Sara Jo, both artists, married in 2009. They shared a dream of owning a historic farmhouse in the country as a creative space for their art and design studio. So in May of 2014 Michael and Sara Jo jumped at the chance to start a new adventure together when they purchased an 1893 farmhouse on a forgotten farm in beautiful rural Kansas. They named the shabby little farm Bryarton Farm as an alliteration of sorts. Briar = the beautiful untamed Kansas prairie, the letters A R T at the heart of the name represented that God wired both of them as artists, and Ton = to save this tumble down piece of America’s heritage they knew would take a TON of work. The word Bryarton seemed to spell out their dream perfectly.
“We love going for family walks down our country dirt road and envisioning our little farm as it must have been over 127 years ago”
