Why Braided Branch Co.?

Summer 2022 three ranch wives, newly friends were bonding over coffee in a quaint coffee shop, the conversations were deep, the chatter quick, and the encouragement left us all with a high.

“What if we did something for ranch wives that encouraged them through what we all love the most, our faith and ranching?”

We left that day seeing the need for more encouragement and truth in the ranching community. We were not exactly sure were we would go with it, but God gave us each a fire to come steward this community.

From constant uncertainty, to complete security

Eventually after many chaotic play dates, the idea of Braided Branch Co. came to birth.

THE BRAID was inspired by Ecclesiastes 4:12, A cord of three strands is not easily broken, and we believe a community of ranch wives who encourage each other on the foundation of their faith will not easily be broken, but will stand strong against any storms to come their way.

THE BRANCH was inspired by the many times branch is used throughout the Bible. It signifies many great things in scripture, the almond branch, the stump of Jesse, and the well known scripture John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Apart from the Lord as ranch wives we can do nothing, we need his strength to survive our calling. Thankfully He hasn’t asked us to do it alone, he has given us a community of other ranch wives to build each other up.

So Who’s Kadi Walnofer

Hi Y’all, Kadi here!

I am one of the three friends who enjoyed that sweet coffee date a year ago. It is wild to me, that I am here now. For many years I have had this desire to create a community for Ranch Wives at home and online, with much patience and listening to God’s right timing here we are!

I am a ranch wife, mother to three children under three, stay-at-home mom and my favorite title, daughter of the king!

You can find me here, on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. I do not know exactly what the Lord has planned for me or the future of Braided Branch, all I know is I am very thankful he gave my two friends the spark to help me develop this community. They are my ultimate prayer warriors, and our story reminds me that nothing is by coincidence.
