Hannah Neeleman, famously known on social media as Ballerina Farm, has popularized the trad-wife lifestyle by documenting her family of 10 in rural Utah online.
According to the New York Times, she has more than 22 million across social media platforms, surpassing other homemaking personalities like Martha Stewart and Joanna Gaines.
Soon, fans who watch her homesteading ways on their phones will be invited to experience it in real life.
Neeleman and her husband, Daniel Neeleman (the son of JetBlue founder David Neeleman) plan to expand Ballerina Farm — beyond the screen.
The Times reported that the Neelemans bought 14 acres of land in Kamas City, Utah, which they plan to turn into "an educational farm complete with animals, a visitor center, a restaurant, and an event space to attract day-trippers."
Their center will be part of a 129-acre land annexation in Kamas.
The region is hoping to attract more tourists
Located near Park City and Salt Lake City, Kamas City has long been seen as a rural "supply station." According to KPCW, a local news outlet in Park City, the Neeleman proposal "could be the most visible example of 'agricultural tourism' in the valley, where farms generate income with visitors."
The Neelemans plan to include livestock pastures, chicken coops, orchards, gardens, a creamery, a farm store, and an event space. At the center, visitors will be able to buy meat, butter, and ice cream produced on the farm.
As more millennials are drawn to homesteading, the center is expected to attract tourists, particularly those who follow the Neelemans online.
