Gilan's forests are more than just woodlands.
In the lush, breathing heart of the ancient trees, where every leaf tells a story, and every shadow holds a secret, Elaheh and Mahsa found their life’s purpose.
With their endless shades of green and morning mists weaving through ancient trees, these forests became more than a mere landscape.
They are living memories, breathing ecosystems that have witnessed generations of human stories.
Here, where the Caspian forests embrace the mountains with their dense, velvet touch, the sisters discovered a language older than words: the silent dialogue between the human spirit and nature.
For many, "happiness" is simply one aspect of life, but this feeling has become their life’s goal for these two farmer sisters.
The sisters chose to leave behind urban life and dedicate themselves to preserving their family’s farmland in Rezvanshahr. They established their own farm, believing the shift had brought them a happier, more peaceful way of life.
Mahsa, a PhD student in environmental studies, is deeply concerned with ecological issues. Elaheh, studying psychology, expresses her passion for photography through the online content she creates.
Their Instagram page, filled with stunning imagery and artistic compositions reflecting their geographic location and Elaheh's photographic skills, has gained a wide following.
The sisters often share their dreams, such as opening an art gallery at the heart of their farm or setting up a stand to sell a variety of bread and cheese, inviting their followers to join them on this journey.
They encourage their audience to dream big, visualize their goals, and share ideas while taking practical steps toward achieving them. They inspire followers who admire their lifestyle and dedication.
On their Instagram and YouTube accounts, the sisters not only showcase the beauty and tranquility of farm life but also discuss the challenges and hardships that come with it.
From battling pests without using pesticides due to their commitment to organic farming to the physical demands of agricultural work and the struggle to balance it with their studies, they share their experiences honestly with their audience.
For those interested in adopting a similar lifestyle, they offer practical advice.
Elaheh and Mahsa outline the dos and don’ts of starting this journey and share their own experiences as a guide to help followers make informed decisions.
Their love for gardening, caring for plants and animals, and connecting with nature, coupled with a passion for exploring fresh flavors, are central themes in many of their posts.
After some time on the farm, they decided to market their organic products under their brand, "Mishin."
As entrepreneurial women, the sisters have expanded their business, delivering farm-fresh products like peanut butter, sweet potatoes, and ginger directly to customers and selling them in person.
