What started as a national contest is turning into something even wilder.
Â
A love story with purpose.
A project built with heart.
A dream you’re part of.
Â
We’re Kevin and Julie—an animal control officer and a park ranger who fell in love while rescuing wildlife. Our story is one of love, loyalty & dirt under our nails—rescuing eagles, surviving cancer & building a life of purpose, service & wild dreams.
We entered the America’s Favorite Couple contest not just for the title or cash—but to fund a bigger dream:
- To turn our homestead into a living classroom for sustainable, joyful living.
- To expand our gardens for people, pollinators, and possibility.
- To finish our catio, share free printables, plans, and projects that help folks like you live closer to what matters.
Â
The response so far?
Overwhelming support, beautiful messages, and folks asking, “How can we be part of this?” We have no idea where this contest will end, but y'all have inspired us so much.
Â
So we created something special.
