Hannah Neeleman, a 33-year-old mother of seven, achieved the title of Mrs. American on August 25th at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino.
Alongside her husband Daniel, she operates "Ballerina Farms" in Kamas, Utah, where they sell farm-grown meat and kitchen supplies.
Despite being from Utah, she represented South Dakota in the pageant and gained nationwide recognition for her pro-life response to an onstage question.
When asked about her most empowering moment, she described the feeling of bringing seven children into the world as a deeply empowering experience. Her response received a standing ovation from the audience.
Hannah Neeleman has a background as a former Miss New York City and held the title of Mrs. Utah in 2021. She holds a bachelor's degree in dance from the Juilliard School, which she obtained in 2012.
Operating under the name "Ballerina Farms" on social media, Hannah Neeleman offers glimpses into her family life with her husband and children, spanning ages 11 to 1. She also showcases their farm-related activities and advocates for a traditional agrarian way of living.
During a four-year stay in Brazil with her spouse, the couple drew inspiration from the country's expansive farming community. A visit to a cattle ranch left a lasting impact when they encountered pigs roaming freely on the land. This experience ignited their aspiration to rear pigs and cattle on pasture. Upon returning to the United States, they purchased land and launched their own farm.
Anticipated to participate in the upcoming Mrs. World 2023 competition, Hannah Neeleman continues to make strides in both her family life and her agricultural pursuits.
