About Me & VEZA
Hey there! I'm Jessica. I discovered VEZA (Croatian word for CONNECTION) after a long season of feeling disconnected from myself, my family, my relationships, my passion, and more. I was struggling with burnout professionally (in the realm of trauma social work) and found there wasn't much left of me at the end of the day. Its impact touched every area of my life. It wasn't that I was completely absent of joy, peace, and connection during that time, but it was that I had to FIGHT so hard for it. I found myself going "to the farm" on lunch breaks, bringing my kids out on the weekend, and even inviting clients from work to join in the healing nature of equine interactions and the simple joys of a farm experience. The power of these beautiful moments never ceased to amaze me. Connecting with a 1,000+ lb prey animal, soaking up the sights and sounds of the farm, sharing the moments together... we always left feeling lighter, centered, and with a lil more joy in our hearts. I knew this was something special. I later had the opportunity to become certified in the SPUR Model which is an equine facilitated social intelligence approach to relationship building. This training opened my eyes to the possibilities of culminating everything I've learned as a helping professional, event planner, parent, spouse, friend, and horse enthusiast...to inspire growth and deeper connections in a unique, experiential way.
About the Farm
Where Veza Lives Today
Veza is now rooted on a multi‑generation family farm in Garfield, AR with a long agricultural history—once a working dairy farm, and still very much alive with cattle, open pasture, and the rhythms of the land. Rolling hills, winding ravines, and peaceful ponds shape the property, creating a setting that invites both grounding and celebration.
This farm is home to the Veza herd and a barn designed for gathering. Open, welcoming, and full of possibility, the space now hosts events of all kinds—from birthdays and family celebrations to receptions, weddings, and meaningful community moments. It’s a place where people come together, slow down, and connect.
Honoring the Journey
Veza’s story began at P&P Legacy Legacy Farm in Rogers, AR, and we carry deep gratitude for the people, experiences, & times there that shaped our earliest days. We owe so much of our journey to this sacred beginning.
And while Veza's journey didn't end there— our mission remains unchanged and carries on beyond geography. The setting has changed, but the heart of Veza remains steady: honoring the Lord, connecting with nature, and creating spaces where people feel welcome, safe, and inspired.
