Nara Smith, the influencer best known for her unconventional homemade products like Takis and sunscreen, recently spent a day at the picturesque Ballerina Farm in Utah, where she joined forces with former dancer Hannah Neeleman. Smith, along with her husband Lucky Blue and their three children, visited the farm after a whirlwind appearance at New York Fashion Week, making time to connect with the Neelemans for brunch and old-fashioned farm fun.
Smith and Neeleman connected in the tight-knit community of successful Mormon influencers with traditional, family-centered lifestyles. Their crossover appeal has earned them significant followings online, each embodying a blend of modern social media and old-fashioned values.
The day on the farm was packed with activities, starting with a brunch hosted by the Neelemans. Afterward, the group headed to the dairy barn, wrangling all eleven children between them for a cow-milking lesson. Smith, in a soft-toned voiceover, admitted that milking a cow was much harder than it looked, despite how effortlessly Neeleman made it seem. It was a surprising revelation that Smith, who’s known for her down-to-earth, hands-on approach to life, hadn’t mastered this farm skill already.
In between the cow milking and kid wrangling, Smith mentioned how nice it was to catch up with Neeleman, hinting that their conversations touched on various aspects of their lives. One can’t help but wonder if they discussed the recent media coverage of Neeleman, which painted a somewhat grim picture of her life on the farm. Neeleman had since responded, insisting that her life was exactly what she wanted. It’s equally possible that the two simply bonded over shared experiences as working mothers and the pressures of being the primary breadwinners for their families.
Despite the heavy topics they could have touched on, the day at Ballerina Farm seemed to be filled with joy and laughter, with Smith and her family fully embracing the farm lifestyle. Whether they discussed cows, careers, or family life, the bond between Smith and Neeleman remains strong, grounded in their shared values and unique influencer journeys.
