The Paris Review published a feature exploring the cultural landscape around Ballerina Farm, the influential homesteading brand run by Hannah Neeleman in rural Utah. The piece examines a neighboring business that reflects the region's blend of traditional Mormon culture and evolving youth identity.
Ballerina Farm has drawn national attention for its "tradwife" aesthetic, with Neeleman becoming a polarizing figure in discussions about Mormon women, modern domesticity, and influencer culture.
