Short company description:
I own Sheehan Homestead, which provides Critters on Call and STEM on Call. These offerings are mobile petting zoos, goat yoga, nature school, and STEM activities.
How did you get started in your field of work?
We started Sheehan Homestead after reevaluating our careers and life goals. Ann-Marie, a dedicated educator, and Michael, with a background in corporate sales and an Executive MBA, both felt the call to create something more meaningful and personally fulfilling. Inspired by Mike’s EMBA capstone project on ‘Homestead Retreats,’ which aimed to offer a respite from professional burnout, we decided to establish our own small-acre farm. This allowed us to combine our passions—education, animal care, and sustainable living—into a venture that not only serves our community but also aligns with our values and desires for a healthier lifestyle. We believe this is only the beginning as we have a long-term vision that is both broad and deep.
What makes you unique?
One thing that sets Sheehan Homestead apart is our unique blend of education, local community engagement, and the joy of interacting with animals in unexpected places. We specialize in bringing educational and entertaining experiences directly to our customers, whether it’s a goat joining a yoga session or a bunny making a special appearance at a child’s birthday party in a neighborhood where the HOA tightly regulates grass length- let alone pets. This approach not only enriches local events but also supports businesses by increasing foot traffic, catering especially to venues such as ice cream shops or casual community gatherings. Our efforts to integrate agro-tourism with suburban and urban living help in educating the public about sustainability and animal care, making each event we host both fun and informative. This nexus of nature, animals, education, and business underscores our commitment to not just entertain, but to foster a deeper connection between our community and the environment, providing a unique, memorable experience that also supports our entrepreneurial journey in a meaningful, sustainable way.
How has your business changed in the past 12 months?
We have been able to work hundreds of events, meet hundreds of thousands of people, and to work with several dozen organizations in the community..
Describe a Failure in your Career
I have not grown this business as quickly as it deserves. This is a business that spreads joy, wellness, and learning in the community. As proud as I am of what we accomplished- this is something that deserves to grow like wildfire.
What about your company makes you the most proud
We put smiles on over 250,000 faces over the last year plus.
How do you motivate people to give their best?
I try to support them and then offer actionable optimism.
