I’m Emily Barber, a passionate storyteller, homesteader, and U.S. Army veteran with a deep love for farm life. Growing up in Alexandria, Louisiana, I developed a strong connection to nature and animals—something that has stayed with me throughout my life and now shines through in my writing.

After serving 17 years in the military, I decided to follow my heart and pursue my love of storytelling, earning a BA in English. Today, I share the magic of farm adventures through my books and my YouTube channel, Hoof N Homestead. Whether I’m writing or filming, my goal is to bring the beauty of resilience, community, and the simple joys of country living to life. With warmth, wisdom, and a touch of humor, I invite readers and viewers alike to experience the wonders of farm life right along with me.
