About Me
About Me
Hi, I’m Peter Schmitt, and together with my best friend and partner, Kyle Harms, we run Happy Feet Farm. From building shelters to caring for our goats and rabbits and soon some hogs, Kyle has been by my side every step of the way. His dedication and shared passion for self-sufficiency make this journey even more rewarding.
Growing up on a farm in Iowa taught me the value of hard work and a connection to the land. But it wasn’t until recently that I fully embraced the homesteading lifestyle. After years of questioning what’s in our food, I decided to raise happy, healthy animals and grow food my family can trust.
Today, I juggle two lives—working 10-hour third shifts while dedicating every free moment to building a sustainable, self-sufficient farm. Last year, I started raising goats, and now I’m excited to begin raising rabbits. For me, farming is more than animals or crops; it’s about creating a simpler, more efficient way of living and teaching my family the importance of self-reliance.
