What if the pursuit of happiness wasn’t just a slogan…

Instead, it's the daily rhythm of your family’s life for the next 250 years.

You already know the screen-filled, fast-paced life is quietly stealing something precious from your kids, your marriage, and your legacy.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, the Founders’ question is staring us in the face:

Are we truly pursuing happiness -
or just producing more?

Pivot to Pasture is the practical answer.

It’s the proven path to move from screens to soil, from overwhelm to presence, and from “busy” to deeply connected.

Ready to lead your family with the same intention and rhythm you bring to the things you care about most?

What We Believe About the Founding Principles

We believe America’s founding documents reveal timeless truths: rights come from our Creator, government is a servant of the people, principles and faith sustain liberty, and stewardship of land builds independent, honorable citizens.

We are not here to tell you what your values should be. Instead, we're going to hand you the tools to define your own values, clearly articulate what those values look and sound like in daily life, build habits that reflect and amplify them, and learn how to influence others and shine your light as a result.

The “pursuit of happiness” is not consumerism but a daily rhythm of presence, family connection, regenerative practices, and generational legacy.
In 2026 we pause, reflect on what's going well and where we’ve drifted, to intentionally pivot back - protecting what is true, good, and aligned with our values for the next 250 years.

Pivot to Pasture offers a practical, family-first way to live the principles we cherish - starting with reflection today and building legacy tomorrow.

A 250-Year Reflection

As America celebrates 250 years, we'll fire up the grills, watch fireworks, march in parades, and enjoy the memorabilia. But we'll also pause to reflect.

We'll reread the Declaration of Independence and the founding documents.

We'll ask ourselves:

Are we still living the principles our founders intended?

What's going well? Where can we rest, re-center, and get back to what truly matters?

What must we protect and carry forward?

Instead of worrying about things we can't control, let's focus on what we can improve - starting with our hearts, our families, our communities, and our values.

That's exactly why Pivot to Pasture exists.

We're here to help anyone who genuinely wants to make a pivot to pursue happiness and live the life they envision.

Our resources blend timeless wisdom from the founding fathers, Scripture, thought leaders, proven business practices, regenerative stewardship, and "soft life" rhythms.

We include simple prompts to celebrate small wins and stay connected with others on the same journey.

We're passionate about making the next 250 years even better than the last.

So join us.

Let's recenter. Remember who we are. Carry forward what is true, authentic, natural, good, and pure.

We can each make a difference - with our hearts, our hands, and everything we think, say, and do.

This is our truth.

This is our legacy.

This is our time.

About the Founders

Hi, I’m Kirsten Simons - the founder of Pivot to Pasture and a proud steward of River Birch Farms in Southwest Washington.

For more than 15 years I’ve juggled a full corporate career while building a hands-on homesteading life with my husband. I can tell you from experience: the pivot from busy urban routines to a purposeful, land-based lifestyle is not only possible - it’s deeply rewarding and one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

As a lifelong learner and former aspiring veterinarian, I bring everything I’ve learned in consulting, training, and systems thinking straight to the farm and into every resource I create. You may know me as the Shepherd Artist. I manage the health and reproduction of our critters, as well as their glorious fiber. My husband Bob always says: "I'm responsible for the front end and what comes out the back end, and she is responsible for everything else in the middle."

I’m passionate about rediscovering those almost-forgotten homesteading skills and timeless knowledge to preserve our bounty of wool, fiber, and garden goods, then sharing those skills in a way that feels practical and doable. Whether I’m mentoring new land stewards or walking someone through their first lambing season, my goal is simple: to help you build real confidence in animal husbandry, regenerative practices, and self-reliant living.

I’m a proud Daughter of the American Revolution and a direct descendant of a Patriot who fought for our nation’s independence. Perhaps that is why I feel so deeply moved to create and offer resources that help us re-center on our founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - principles of virtue, faith, self-reliance, stewardship of the land, and ordered liberty that our Founders lived as daily rhythms, not distant ideals.

As a homesteader at River Birch Farms that is passionate about generational legacy, I watched modern life pull families further from the very values that built America. That’s why I founded Pivot to Pasture: to help us pause in this 250th anniversary year, reflect on where we are and where we we’ve drifted, and intentionally pivot back to the “true and solid happiness” the Founders envisioned.

Through the free 250th Reflection Guide, the 28-Day Reset Journal, and the Legacy Leadership Toolkit, we’re reclaiming simple, regenerative rhythms - screen-free presence, family connection, land stewardship, and virtuous living - so we can pass a stronger inheritance to our posterity.

I’m not going to tell you what your values should be. Instead, I’m going to hand you the tools to define your own values, clearly articulate what those values look and sound like in daily life, build habits that reflect and amplify them, and learn how to influence others and shine your light as a result.

When I’m not teaching or tending the flock, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen or out in the pasture, celebrating slow, intentional living - right alongside my husband Bob. We are so glad you’re here.
