About Hannah Neeleman

Hannah Neeleman is the heart and soul behind Ballerina Farm—a breathtaking, family-run farm nestled in the mountains of northern Utah. A former professional ballerina and Miss South Dakota, Hannah traded pointe shoes for muck boots and hasn’t looked back since. With elegance, grit, and a love for the land, she and her husband Daniel have built a thriving business that celebrates sustainable living, hard work, and the simple beauty of farm life.

At Ballerina Farm, the Neelemans raise pasture-raised livestock, bake gorgeous loaves of sourdough, and craft high-quality, artisanal goods—all while raising their eight kids in the great outdoors. Hannah’s background in the arts shines through everything she does, from the graceful way she moves through a day of chores to the beautifully curated glimpses of farm life she shares with her ever-growing social media following.

Whether she’s wrangling kids and cattle or prepping for a sourdough bake, Hannah brings authenticity, joy, and intention to it all. Her life is a testament to the idea that you can chase your dreams, raise a big family, and live close to the earth—all with style, strength, and a whole lot of heart.
