We’re Shon and Nina, a couple with a big dream to trade the city’s fast pace for the peace of ranch life. At The Essex Ranch, we’re embracing a more self-sufficient lifestyle—raising animals, growing food, and creating a home that reflects our values of family, stewardship, and intentional living.

While it’s just the two of us making this ranch our full-time home, our doors are always open to our kids, family, and friends. Essex Ranch is more than just a place; it’s a legacy we’re building, filled with moments that reconnect us to nature and to each other.

Join us as we share the ups and downs of this adventure, discover new skills, and bring this vision to life—one step at a time.
