It’s a picture-perfect summer morning amid the rolling green hills of southwest Ohio, and Melissa Renee settles into her chair on the deck of her two-acre homestead.

Drinking a cup of coffee, she takes in the sights and sounds of horses neighing, birds singing, hens cackling, and the hoot from a solitary owl. She waves at an Amish family riding by in their horse-drawn buggy.
