About
The Farm: AZ Farm & Wellness
AZ Farm & Wellness is a therapeutic farm and holistic coaching service where people of all ages can find a safe space to learn, heal, and grow. Through farm therapy and wellness coaching, we guide individuals in caring for themselves—nourishing the body with wholesome food, easing stress, and building self-esteem, confidence, and purpose.
​
Founded in March 2017 by Ariel Beauchamp (formerly Zimmerlein), a 5th-generation farmer, AZ Farm & Wellness began as an extension of her original farm, AZ Farm (est. 2015). The farm’s mission expanded to include nutrition and wellness services, helping individuals embrace a local, whole-food lifestyle while restoring their health.
​
Located in Marseilles, Illinois, the farm is owned and operated by Ariel and her husband. Using regenerative organic agriculture practices, AZ Farm & Wellness grows nutrient-rich produce without synthetic chemicals—supporting healthy soil, thriving plants, and resilient people.
​
By cultivating diverse heirloom and organic varieties, AZ Farm & Wellness not only nourishes people but also preserves seed genetics and supports biodiversity.

Ariel's Story
Holistic Health Coach. Farmer. Speaker.
Ariel’s passion for health was born from her own struggles. She lives with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.), a genetic condition that causes fragile bones. By the age of 15, she had endured over 30 fractures and 22 surgeries. Alongside her physical challenges, she faced depression, anxiety, family trauma, and bullying—leaving her searching for a way to break free from cycles of pain.
​
Her journey into farming and nutrition at Southern Illinois University Carbondale became the turning point. Through working with food and reconnecting with the land, Ariel discovered deep healing. She overcame anxiety, released depression, and now lives pain-free—devoting her life to helping others find the same transformation.
​
Ariel believes that while pain and struggle shape us, healing and choice are always possible. With the right guidance, every person can reclaim health, energy, and purpose.
