About Us

Amanda Hampton Bravender is not your ordinary hair and makeup artist; she's a culinary aficionado, lifestyle influencer, and avid storyteller. With over 17 years of experience in the beauty industry, Amanda has honed her skills in various facets, from corporate sales and product development to social media management and freelance work. Her journey has taken her across the country, working on everything from musical theater productions and ballets to weddings and events.

In 2020, Amanda and her husband embarked on a new adventure, starting a bee farm and rescue operation. As a husband and wife team, they have turned their passion for bees into a thriving family business, involving their five children in the process. Their farm is home to not just bees, but also chickens and a horse, creating a lively and educational environment for their family and visitors.

Amanda's dedication extends beyond her farm. She volunteers with 4-H, teaching kids about sustainability and how to harvest honey. Through community outreach programs, Amanda educates people on making sourdough, gardening, and overall self-sustainability. Her efforts aim to inspire others to embrace a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle, sharing her knowledge and passion for homesteading and nature.
