Our Mission Milk & Honey Ranch exists to help people reimagine what life is all about. Our Story In 2021, embarking on a mission to reimagine life, Milk & Honey Ranch was intended just for the Phillips family—a vision for a weekend getaway to escape city life. Brent researched hundreds of properties, but nothing felt right until he ran across a piece of land overlooked by others. On the market for over a year, its condition and the needed work were evident. But, as soon as he stepped foot on the ground, he fully envisioned what the land could be. A passion also ignited that it needed to be their permanent home and lifestyle—not just a getaway. It took the family a little while to buy into the permanent vision, but it was full steam ahead once they did.
