About Owner
Hey, I’m Kristy! I started Barton Craft Barn in 2020 combining my love of crafting with life living on a hobby farm. These two don’t have much in common beyond they are two things in my life, although most of my crafts could be described having a farmhouse vibe.
I have a master’s degree in engineering and love using my modeling and design skills to create beautiful things. I have enjoyed crafting in many different mediums since I was young, and I cannot imagine my life without creating!
I’m in a season of raising kids alongside my husband and growing in my Christian walk. Crafting time seems like therapy to me, and I am privileged to have this sweet business as a creative outlet.
About Barton Craft Barn Beginnings
As a homeschooling family, we decided to hatch baby chicks as part of our life cycle lesson. Then fast forward to having a flock of chickens laying eggs that we couldn’t keep up with.
This site was originally created as a place for locals to find our farm and buy our farm-fresh eggs.
Then next was the overflowing garden. We have had a garden ever since the first season we were able to when we moved to our land. I would arrive with laundry baskets full of cucumbers to playdates and bible studies.
My kids loved the homemade jam we made with our homegrown strawberries and when the strawberry patch expanded and produced so much fruit, we thought maybe others would enjoy this as well. Spoiler alert, they do! It’s the best!
Then when we created an actual business name and website, against all marketing and business advice, I added in my love of crafting in the mix.
I started teaching Cricut classes at a local craft store and used a portion of the site as a hub for my local craft students and added online craft tutorials as well.
Then the next (and most exciting) addition to the craft room was the Glowforge. I had so much fun creating, making, and imagining that I stopped creating the craft tutorials and focused on raising my family, maintain our hobby farm, and making fun things in the craft room.
If you are curious about the original website content you can follow the links to reach the pages for the craft , farm, blog, and one of my favorites…recipes! As we move forward, we have shifted the focus of the website to only include the products we sell from the farm and workshop.
I hope you enjoy poking around the site and find something that grabs your attention. Feel free to contact me with any questions about Barton Craft Barn!
