Credit: Ballerina Farm InstagramHannah and Daniel Neeleman, the husband-and-wife social media influencers and founders of Ballerina Farm — at over 10 million followers on Instagram, almost that number on TikTok — announced on their social platforms that they will be moving to Ireland with their eight kids and Hannah’s mother, Cherie Wright.“Daniel and I moved the gang across the pond for the next little while to attend Chef school,” Hannah wrote in her social media post. Specifically, Ballymaloe Cookery School, a school they had visited in November and posted about on their platforms.“This school is settled on a 100-acre farm,” Hannah posted in a video on Nov. 19. “These chefs are sourcing only the best ingredients and just making everything slow and from scratch. … Each student makes a three-course meal every day, they have a 12-week course.”Now, just under two months later, the family hopped on a plane back to Ireland.The decision to go on this “very big adventure” is not a signal that they’re done with farm life, or their Kamas community, said Ballerina Farm Director of Marketing and Communications Ellie Ix.“As a brand that’s focused on content and testing what it means to be in the kitchen from home, this seems like a natural segue for them to go and do this together and really connect with how different people are cooking, farming, farm-to-table concepts, and they’ll bring all of that knowledge back to the Kamas community,” Ix said.Daniel’s post to his social platform @hogfathering expressed the same goal.“Hopefully we can learn a lot about food and farm to table. This is a working farm here in southern Ireland,” Daniel said on social media. “So, this is an adventure. It’s something we’ve been preparing for for some time now, getting the team ready back in Utah for us to work remote and allow us to go and come on this work trip.”“It’s business as usual on the farm in terms of operations,” Ix said.The Neelemans bought the 328-acre Ballerina Farm in 2018 and live on that property with their eight children. The farm sells a variety of food and home goods, like pork, beef, pastries, aprons, soap and candles, most recently announcing the release of their Farmer Protein Powder.A portion of their farm is up for annexation into Kamas, now one step closer after a November meeting of the Kamas City Council. The Neelemans are proposing to include livestock pastures, orchards, gardens, a farm store, a café, an event center, a barn and chicken coops on their 14-acre part of the land up for annexation.Currently, Ballerina Farm products are sold exclusively on their website, ballerinafarm.com, said Ix.“Ballerina Farm is still very much in Kamas. That’s where the dairy farm is. And there’s a few other projects in the works that will be in Kamas, so the presence isn’t going anywhere,” Ix said.The post Kamas couple, founders of Ballerina Farm, move family to Ireland for 12-week chef program appeared first on Park Record.
