It’s built, grown, fixed, and shared.”

What Is Half Dozen & One?

Group of nine people, adults and children, standing together and smiling in front of a decorative wall.

Half Dozen & One is our family-run maker and lifestyle brand, built around the things we already make, grow, fix, ride, and use.

It brings together handmade goods, sewing, farm life, food, practical projects, motorcycles, travel, and the everyday work of building a creative family business.

We are not creating a lifestyle for the internet. We are sharing the real one already happening around us.

Megan’s Country Daycare

Megan’s Country Childcare is a licensed, play-based farm daycare in Hughson where children learn through outdoor exploration, caring for animals, gardening, creating, and meaningful everyday experiences. Our goal is to help children grow into kind, confident, capable, and resilient people while enjoying the freedom and wonder of childhood.

Children playing in a muddy outdoor area, some are crouching or sitting, engaged in digging or playing with water, with a bush and a white picket fence in the background.
