Hi! I’m Deeanne!

Hey, I’m Deeanne—founder of Hummingbird Acres, and I’ll be the first to admit: I didn’t grow up with acres of land or a perfect farmhouse kitchen. In fact, I started just like you—overwhelmed by chaos, drowning in Pinterest boards, and wishing for a simpler, calmer way to raise my family.

Now, our home isn’t Instagram-perfect (it’s usually loud and covered in flour), but it’s full of real food, real routines, and real memories. I’ve learned how to build a life that fits us—and you can too.

If you’re craving a calmer, more connected family life—without giving up the modern comforts you love—you’re in the right place. Let’s take messy action together, and create the home you’ve always wanted.

What our Busy Moms Have to Say

From Chaos to Calm
“I used to end every week feeling behind—kids everywhere, house a mess, dinner was always ‘whatever’s in the freezer.’ The Simple Start Kit finally made things doable. I planted my first garden with my three kids, and for the first time, we actually ate a salad we grew ourselves. It sounds small, but it changed everything. I’m less stressed, my family’s eating better, and I finally feel like I can do this—even in the suburbs.”
Emily, mom of 4, Virginia
Skeptic Turned Action-Taker.
“I’d tried a dozen ‘simple living’ programs before. Nothing stuck. Hummingbird Acres was different—the steps were actually doable, and Deeanne’s emails made me feel like I wasn’t failing every time life got crazy. My sourdough starter is finally alive, my mornings are less frantic, and my kids are helping in the kitchen. For the first time, I’m proud of the routines we’ve built, instead of feeling guilty all the time.”
Sara, suburban mom of 3
No Farm, No Problem
“We don’t have acres, we have a backyard the size of a postage stamp. But thanks to Hummingbird Acres, my son and I grew tomatoes and herbs in pots, and he tells everyone about ‘our harvest.’ I stopped comparing myself to Insta-perfect homesteaders and started enjoying our version of simple living. If you want progress over perfection—this is the place.”
Rachel, working mom, Ohio
Permission to Start Messy
“The best thing about Hummingbird Acres? No shame, no pressure. I’ve failed at so many routines before. Here, I finally felt seen as a busy mom—imperfect but trying. The support, the quick wins, the ‘messy action’ mantra… it’s what got me started and what keeps me going, even when life is nuts.”
Lindsay, mom of 2, Maryland
