Meet Laura

Co-Founder | The Heart & Hands of the Farm

If you've ever met Laura, you've probably walked away thinking, "She can do just about anything." In fact, that's exactly how she earned the nickname "MacGyver" through Women's Alliance, a faith-based women's ministry. Whether it's building something from scratch, fixing a problem no one else can solve, or finding a creative solution with whatever's on hand, Laura has an incredible gift for making things happen.

If you've ever met Laura, you know one thing is certain—she's one of the hardest-working people you'll ever meet. Her determination, resourcefulness, and servant's heart are woven into everything she does. She's always been someone who isn't afraid of hard work, loves figuring things out, and has a way of making people feel welcome.

At The Holy Hooves Homestead, Laura is the hands behind so much of what guests experience. From caring for the animals and maintaining the farm to creating beautiful spaces and preparing for each family that visits, she pours her heart into every detail.

Outside of the farm, Laura's favorite title is Lala. She loves spending time with her grandchildren, serving at church, and creating a home where everyone feels welcomed and loved. Her servant's heart is woven into everything she does, and her greatest joy is using the gifts God has given her to bless others.

Meet Morgan

Co-Founder | The Dream Behind the Farm

Morgan has always believed that if you can dream it, you can build it.

That belief is exactly why, through Women's Alliance, she was lovingly given the nickname "Barbie." Not because of appearances, but because she believes that with enough faith, determination, and hard work, if you can dream it, you can be it.

Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, Morgan built her career in operations, marketing, client experience, and business strategy. She has a passion for building brands, creating exceptional customer experiences, and developing systems that help businesses grow while keeping people at the center of every decision.

In May 2026, Morgan stepped away from corporate America to fully pursue the vision God had placed on her heart. Today, she leads the operations, marketing, branding, guest experience, social media, and business strategy for The Holy Hooves Homestead, while also supporting operations and client experience for her family's construction company, Arnold Build & Design.

More than any title, Morgan is a wife, a mom of two, and a follower of Jesus. She loves creating meaningful experiences where children can discover the joy of farm life and families can slow down, reconnect, and make memories they'll treasure for years to come.

Our Story

In June 2025, we walked into a Starbucks with a dream that probably sounded a little crazy.

Armed with laptops, notebooks, and a whole lot of faith, we spent six hours building a business plan for what would become The Holy Hooves Homestead. When we brought the idea to our husbands, they gave us a simple challenge: "If you believe in it, put together a business plan." So we did. There were moments of excitement, moments of uncertainty, and plenty of obstacles that tested our faith. But through every challenge, God continued to open doors we never could have opened ourselves. What started as a dream between a mother and daughter has become a place where families gather, children experience the wonder of animals, and strangers leave feeling like friends.

Laura is the builder. Morgan is the visionary. One can make just about anything. The other believes just about anything is possible. Together, those gifts, and God's faithfulness, have shaped The Holy Hooves Homestead into what it is today.

We're so glad you're here, and we can't wait to welcome you to the farm.
