Choose Joy With Us
When you wear The Kinship Bracelet you stay connected.
To the land and the animals.
To The Invisible String.
To each other.
The bracelet will remind you that in spite of anything, you can just choose joy now.
Real presence is knowing where you matter in this moment. That's when you never need to ask yourself where you're making a difference, again.
We don't ask for, or receive, corporate handouts.
We run on you.
Each bracelet means we can immediately buy 100 pounds of hay for the herd that eats 80,000 pounds each year. It means our family can continue this work, and it includes 12 months of The Daily Porch —a guided practice from the farm to find presence and choose joy.
The only way we're going to build a better world is with people.

The bracelet is just one way to stand with us. Explore the other ways, including The Daily Porch for just $5.00 a month
We don't have bloated infrastructure here, we don't need thousands of people. We need three people a day to keep the herd fed and the work moving. We'd be honored if today, that means you.

Living Without Labels
If you can't find joy right now, where will you find it?
In 2014 a horse named Lucille was found pregnant and shot, left for dead, alone.
But Lucille's story was never meant to be defined by circumstance.
Here, Lucille teaches us that life happens when you show up for the moment.
Lucille is the oldest member of our livestock herd, more than 30 animals living on this land without the labels humans put on them.
This is what you support.
Keeping Family Farms Alive
I know what it feels like to bleed for something and still feel invisible.
If you can't share something, does it even matter?
We have become tribal for all the wrong reasons.
People unite over division now.
We're told everything should be a fight.
But life isn't about the fight, it's about finding the joy in spite of it all.
Even when it's not guaranteed. Even when it's messy. Even amidst loss.
Our working family farm—two dads and an ambitious 9 year old boy deep in the heart of Texas—is learning we don't have to hold it all while choosing joy in this moment.
Here, your support buys hay, it plants for pollinators, it supports the late nights when no one else is there, and it keeps real people connected in a world where we have lost our footing.
We find meaning here because we choose it.
That's because we all wear the bracelet together.
-Brett, Founding Farmer-
Each bracelet sold means we can purchase 100 pounds of hay for the animals of The Invisible String Sanctuary
Come As You Are
Most of the things that pull us apart are not real, and what really matters is only how you show up, today.
We provide the Saturday weekly From The Porch as a gift to the world, a way to share the life, the peace, the perspective and the resilience a life on the land provides.
But The Daily Porch and The Invisible String Bracelet are for those who want to stand closer. This isn't just our farm, this isn't just a family business. The circle is a place that holds you when you step inside.
When you wear the circle on your wrist, you aren't just supporting us, you're the literal infrastructure of this sanctuary.
We'll meet you on the porch.

The Invisible String
Sanctuary with No Borders
What starts here, grows with you.
When you purchase a bracelet, you are choosing this moment.
Humans are the only ones living in the past and the future, all the time.
Not the animals. Not the land.
This is the place where they teach that presence is just being here.
Start Living Here, Again
When you wear The Invisible String Bracelet, you're connected to:
The Invisible String Sanctuary
Currently 65,000 square feet of land devoted to critically endangered Blackland Prairie restoration and vibrant nectar corridors that support pollinator migrations.
The Legacy Barn
Our growing sanctuary farm houses more than 30 "livestock" animals living without the labels humans imposed on them.
Legacy Learning
The one-of-a-kind outreach program from the sanctuary targeting urban youth. More than 58% of these youth have had no meaningful interaction with a large animal or agriculture.
Our program uses the stories and animals of the Legacy Barn to provide SEL and STEM educational experiences, for free to participating schools, supported by you.
Each child in a Legacy Learning seminar receives a youth Invisible String Bracelet (paracord version) as they enter the circle with all of us.
The Ones Who Call This Place Home
The gentle spirits finally living without labels.
Lucille
A pregnant mare who was shot and left for dead.
Lucille and her daughter are the ones who started it all.
Woolsworth
A 4H meat project who has survived TWO meat pens.
Woolsworth now follows the horses like a puppy.
Dolly
An extremely rare white highland cow destined for meat because she is infertile.
Now, she's an ambassador for the breed's gentle nature.
Poca
A Kiger mustang from one of the most rare and isolated wild herds in America.
Poca now runs on land she can't be taken from.

The Invisible Strings
Resting underneath the tension in our lives is a deep connection to each other and natural world.
These are the invisible strings you can feel but never see, but show up in the simple moments when life reveals it's not all just chaos.
When you live inside the circle, connection is a constant.
