Flown The Coop

Today was fun!

Finally, a project that was fairly instant gratification.

Up until now, we’ve been doing all the non-glamorous projects that you don’t see and projects that seem to take months.

And now we have a beautiful ceiling & signature wall. :)

I’m looking for a local Sergio. 🇮🇹➡️🇨🇱

In 2019, we took a cooking class at Sergios Home Experience in Italy. We cooked alongside him, learned traditional dishes, shared a meal and soaked up that incredible view.

It wasn’t just something we saw in Italy.

It was something we experienced.

And years later, we’re still talking about it.

I wonder if our area has one...
Maybe it’s cooking your grandmother’s recipe. Making sausage. Learning to garden. Picking flowers. Working cattle. Painting. Making bread. Tasting wine with the person who made it.

You don’t need to own a tourist attraction.

You might just need something worth sharing.

So…where is our Sergio?

Tag someone in our area who has a skill, story, tradition or passion visitors should experience. 👇

Just a little update from The Coop… today we’re painting! 🎨

We are nowhere close to moving in, but in case you forgot the plan:

After 11 years in our little blue cottage, Jeff and I are renovating The Coop to become our new home — and eventually, the blue cottage will become another Flown The Coop Stay.

Still a LONG way to go, but today… we paint. 🏡

One project at a time. One big dream in the making.

This is what it looks like when a little town works together. ❤️

Business owners, local organizations, and community members around one table with one goal: help Burton thrive.

We believe sharing our town with visitors doesn’t change what makes Burton special—it gives us a chance to support our local businesses, preserve our stories, and keep our community growing.

Tourism is economic development in a town of 300.

And there’s a lot worth sharing here. ❤️

Don’t just visit. BELONG.

Take the farm tour.
Talk to the winemaker.
Ask the shop owner where she eats.
Sit on the front porch.
Stay another night.

Because the best trips aren’t about checking everything off a list.

They’re about slowing down long enough to know the people, hear the stories, and feel like maybe… you belong here too.

I’m Tiffany. I live in a town of 300 people, and I’m on a mission to convince you that some of the best vacations happen in places you’ve never heard of.

Come curious. Leave feeling like a local.

This is small-town travel.

The best trip isn’t the one where you see everything.
It’s the one where you leave feeling like a local.

Where people wave when you pass.
Where strangers actually talk to you.
Where the person behind the counter remembers your name.
Where you slow down enough to notice the people—not just the places.

That’s the kind of travel I want more people to experience.

I’m Tiffany. I live in a town of 300 people, and I’m on a mission to convince you that some of the best vacations happen in places you’ve never heard of.

Would you rather SEE more on vacation—or FEEL more?

Never a dull moment in the country. 😂🐓

I went out to the chicken coop for one egg.
ONE.

And apparently the wasps had other plans. 🐝😳

This summer has already been a rough one for my chickens. We lost a few, and

I finally felt like I had everybody healthy and doing well again.
And now… a new situation has arisen. 😂

Wasps in the chicken coop.

Country life isn’t always slow mornings, fresh eggs and pretty sunsets. Sometimes it’s running out of the chicken coop while being chased by angry wasps.

But you know what?

I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Never a dull moment when you live in the country.

Tell me: what’s the most “country life” thing that’s ever happened to you?
