ABOUT US

Small Wonders Farm was established in October 2022 when Michael and Patricia Hayward moved with their family from Northern California to Westmoreland, Tennessee. As homeschool parents, the Haywards believe that life is full of learning opportunities and wanted to bring something to their new community that would be both educational and recreational; something that would build community and serve the families in the area. The Haywards have six kids ranging from 4 – 28… all homeschooled.

Michael enlisted in the United States Marine Corps out of high school and served six years in the Marine Reserve, He worked 21 years in a clinical medical lab, and served 18+ years as the lead Pastor of their small Southern Baptist Church.

Patricia has overseen preschools, Been the director of their church's children's ministry, Directed Vacation Bible School, and started at least 6 different businesses. 

Michael and Patricia currently serve with a missionary care organization called A Jesus Mission as the House Church Support Network Directors.
