ABOUT BETH
My name is Beth Kourik, and I’m so happy you’re here! I share about backyard chickens, slow living, and building a simpler life from the ground up. If that sounds like your kind of life, come join me!
MEET BETH
I’m a former city girl who traded bright lights for starry nights, and I’ve never looked back! These days, you’ll find me in Wisconsin, learning the art of living slowly and caring for our growing flock of backyard chickens.
Welcome to City Life to Farm Life, my cozy corner of the internet where I share real-life stories, lessons from the land, and gentle reminders to reconnect with what truly matters.
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. I loved the downtown energy, Cardinals baseball, and being close to everything. But life had a different rhythm waiting for me.
Years later, my husband Scott and I packed up for small-town Wisconsin. We landed on 25 acres with big dreams and very little experience. We even planted 6,000 Christmas trees. Let’s just say only about 60 percent made it, and we learned a lot along the way.
This land has become our greatest teacher. Every season reminds me that slowing down isn’t about doing less. It’s about being more present, more connected, and more alive.
