how it all started

Several years ago, our journey began with a simple but powerful idea: raise animals the way nature intended. Kerri and a close high school and college friend started with five cows, raised naturally, free from hormones and antibiotics on a small farm in New Haven. What started with those five cows grew over the years, and by 2013, Kerri teamed up with a local hog farm to offer whole-hog pork sausage products. As she attended farmers’ markets, her passion drew a loyal community who appreciated the care and quality behind every product.

Around this time, life was shifting for our family too. With our youngest soon off to school full-time, Kerri felt a deep calling to put her God-given talents to work in a new way. She began sending novenas—prayers asking for guidance, health, and purpose in the work we felt called to do. Inspired by the phrase, “Girl, bloom where you’re planted,” shared by a dear friend, Kerri drafted a vision that blossomed into what we now call The Wellness Barn, founded in 2014.

growing together

The “life” in The Wellness Barn comes through in our creative offerings—memory boxes, natural leather jewelry, and custom products that help make life’s moments meaningful.

Our goals remain simple: to grow as God intends, to share the gifts we’ve been given, and to stay grounded in faith and purpose as we move forward.

In 2019, we opened The Wellness Barn’s year-round market and seasonal mobile market to make our goods even more accessible. Now, as proud members of Indiana Grown, we invite you to come visit us, experience the flavors, and see firsthand all The Wellness Barn has to offer.

Let’s grow well together!
