Sarah Thompson

Sarah Thompson left a corporate marketing career in Seattle in 2021 to homestead on 40 acres in rural Montana with her husband and two kids. The hardest part wasn't the chickens — it was the internet. After cycling through HughesNet, a local fixed wireless provider, and finally Starlink, she started writing about what actually works for people trying to run a business or work from home in places where the nearest cell tower is 20 miles away. Sarah covers the human side of rural connectivity: the workarounds, the frustrations, and the wins.
