Meet Morgan and Taylor

Meet Morgan and Taylor

Taylor and I met at Auburn University in 2010. I was coming off of a semester spent at LEGACY school of discipleship and returned to Auburn with a desire to learn how to grow food. So, I changed my major to Horticulture with a focus in Fruit and Vegetable production. Low and behold, Taylor was in my first class. We studied together and quickly found out that our hearts were aligned in a desire for ministry, feeding people physically and spiritually. We both graduated in 2012.

After getting married, we continued our education as farm interns at Scott River Lodge in Northern California. When we found out I was pregnant with our first, we decided to return to North Alabama to be closer to family. We started RiverFly Farms in the Paint Rock Valley where we lived and farmed for 5 years. We currently live in Huntsville, AL with our three kids and two dogs.

When people find out about our farming background the most common response is, “I really want to garden but have no idea where to start.” We could not find a place where we could confidently send our friends that provided them with the simple, beautiful, and rich information they would need to begin, so we decided to create that place together. Thus, A Common Life was born.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to learn to connect with the land you have been given.

It won’t take long after meeting Taylor to notice his passion. He has a zeal and anger for life that is rivaled by few. For him, A Common Life is a product of his love for growing healthy, nutrient dense food. It is also a product of his desire to pass along the insights and experiences he’s had along his journey with the hope that it might teach, inspire, and encourage others to step out and take a risk they might not have otherwise taken.
