The Fruitful Family - Faith. Family. Legacy

Faith. Family. Legacy.

We’re Brad and Starla, parents of nine kids, building a life together in southern Indiana.

The Fruitful Family began as a conversation about how our faith shapes our family and the way we live. Now we’re restarting that conversation—and bringing you along for more of it.

Here you’ll find honest conversations and real-life stories about raising a large family, marriage and parenting, faith and family worship, farming and growing food, hunting and the outdoors, building a family business, motherhood and homemaking, and learning the skills we hope to pass on to our children.

We certainly don’t have it all figured out. We’re learning as we go.

But we believe some things are worth cultivating, preserving, and passing down.

Welcome to The Fruitful Family.

Leaving a legacy for generations to come.
