At 29, Daisy May Campanella, famously known as Daisy on the farm, is embarking on a new chapter after inheriting 230 acres of land in Missouri that has been in her family for generations.
Daisy is originally from California and has been living in Florida with her husband, Phyllip Dylan Campanella, whom she met in 10th grade. After 10 years together, the couple eventually got married and built their life in Florida.
In a video shared on her social media platforms on September 4, 2026, Daisy disclosed that the couple has left that life behind and moved to Missouri with their two dogs to restore the family property and turn it into a working farm.
She also revealed that she comes from a large family.
“I’m originally from California; my mom had me when she was 16. She was in a big family; my grandma had about 8 kids, so we have a really big family.”

Further, Daisy opened up about the unexpected inheritance and her plans for the sprawling property.
How did 29-year-old woman inherit 230 acres in Missouri?
According to Daisy, her great-grandmother originally purchased the 230-acre property, although she does not know exactly when.
She said her grandmother told her that her great-grandmother paid around $20,000 for the land.
I’m not sure which year she bought it, but I know she paid around $20,000. That’s what my grandma told me. I’m not sure if that’s correct, she stated.

After her great-grandmother died, the property was inherited by Daisy’s uncle, Teddy.
After my great-grandmother died, my uncle, Teddy, inherited the land, and then once he died 2 years ago, he left everything to me, she told her followers.
The inheritance turned out to be much more than just 230 acres.
What else did 29-year-old woman inherit?
Along with the property, Daisy inherited old tractors, vintage trucks, tires, wood paneling, fencing, scrap materials, and buildings filled with belongings.
The land wasn’t all I inherited; I inherited old tractors, vintage trucks, buildings filled with lots of stuff, and containers filled full of vintage items my great grandma owned and decades of stuff, she added.

When Daisy and her family first visited after her uncle’s death, they quickly realized the farm would require considerable work to become functional again.
Because Daisy was living full-time in Florida, she was also concerned about leaving valuable items and equipment on the property.
Her uncle Gary, Teddy’s brother, offered to move to the farm and stay there.
I told him I would love for him to be here as security, and we immediately started building him a house. We did get two campers, which he stayed in, and the other we knew we would live in when we would stay in our bigger camper, which we are still living in, and Gary has moved into the house we built him it is not fully finished yet.”

Did 29-year-old woman leave Florida?
What began as an inherited property eventually became a permanent project for Daisy and her husband.
In an update shared on September 23, 2026, Daisy revealed that they had rented out their Florida home packed their belongings and their two dogs, and driven for about 17 hours to Missouri.
The couple is currently living in an RV on the property while they work on their plans.
Daisy says their goal is to bring the forgotten family farm back to life, restore the property, raise animals, build their homestead, and eventually produce what she describes as clean, healthy food.
We’re just getting started, she said.
29-year-old woman plans to turn the farm into business
Daisy is also looking for ways to make the property financially sustainable.
She explained that she initially looked for ways to make money from the farm and was connected by a mentor to a farmer in Florida who focuses on producing organic food.
The connection has helped Daisy begin exploring poultry farming.
A farmer experienced with broiler chickens is expected to visit the property, and Daisy plans to sell chickens through his company.
So we will be selling the chicken through his company, and eventually I do want to start selling things through our own company, but I do want to have a little farm shop here where everybody can come and shop, she added.
One of her ideas is to open a small farm shop where visitors can purchase products made or produced by her family.
Will 29-year-old woman’s family will help build farm shop?
Daisy’s vision also includes giving her relatives an opportunity to contribute their skills.
Her grandmother knows how to sew and knit, and Daisy has suggested that she make blankets and other handmade items to sell at the farm shop.
I told her she should make some blankets, and then my husband’s mother is a painter, so I was thinking she could do some cute barn scenes and sell those here also and make a possibility for things that people can come and purchase and help support our family in living here full time.
The goal is to create a place where people can purchase items while helping support the family as they work toward living on the farm full-time.
Building a future on the family land
For Daisy, restoring the farm is about more than bringing an old property back to life.
She and her husband hope to have children within the next year or two, and she wants to make sure they have a stable source of income.
“I’m just waiting on the income part because as much as I do want to move here, we wanna have kids in the next year or two, and I wanna make sure they are fully set up as well. I don’t want any stops because I’m not getting any younger, she stated.
For now, that means living in an RV, completing construction projects, restoring the land, and figuring out how to make the farm financially sustainable.
The 230 acres came to Daisy unexpectedly through her family’s history.
Now, she is trying to turn that inheritance into something that can carry the family into its next generation.
