Welcome to our little plot of Earth, Hoshiana Hill Farm, beautiful and alive! For those who understand farming at all, alive is nothing short of miraculous. Beautiful is just a cherry on top! We do not take these blessings for granted, as we try to be good stewards of our land and our lives.

​

We, Scott and Carrie Kokoska, are incredibly blessed with 7 children, ranging in ages from 19 to 9 years old. Additionally, four dogs, 13 cats, 35 chickens, three horses, five cows, five ducks and a family of sandhill cranes call our place home. We are by no means off-the-grid-ers or even homesteaders​. I wouldn't even really consider us to be farmers. We are a family that believes in learning, creating, living responsibly and being joyful with what we are given.

​

The Joy of Living is a family project. It began as a school project and developed to much more. We are passionate about many things, including our farm, art, animals, food, nature and our walk with God. We will be sharing posts of projects, adventures, spiritual lessons, and the beauty of daily life. As a family, we want to celebrate our personal journey of living and share that joy with any who may stop by!
