What’s the difference between a farm wife, a farm helper, a farm employee, and a farmer? Turns out, the lines can get pretty blurry on a family farm. This week, we’re digging into job titles, responsibilities, and paychecks. We talk about knowing the value of your work, having some skin in the game, and why being married to a farmer doesn’t automatically make “farm wife” the right title.
We also tackle the invisible workload of motherhood, why women in agriculture are still assumed to know less than the men standing next to them. Plus, Annaliese shares an update on The Adventures of Moody Judy, a fake Taylor Swift concert inspires an idea for their upcoming Farm Girls event, and Courtney sends everyone home with a little lighthearted AI-induced existential dread. Just another perfectly normal week with the Farm Girls!

This week, we’re getting a little witchy! We welcome Emily Reuschel, host of Wild & Waking, for an unfiltered conversation about finding your own version of spirituality and letting go of the expectations placed on women, especially in agriculture.
Emily shares her journey from checking all the achievement boxes to realizing she wanted something entirely different. We dive into religion, personal growth, and the freedom to change your mind. Plus, there's talk of poop, moon water, psychic mediums, and Emily’s witchy retreat that has us ready to pack our bags. As always, it's equal parts deep conversation, inappropriate humor, and the kind of chaos only we can deliver.

We know comparison is the thief of joy, but sometimes you just can't help but be a little jealous of others! This week, we’re talking about the people we’re jealous of and quickly realize it's often not the person we’re actually envious of, but their habits, confidence, or qualities we wish we had ourselves. We also look back at things we used to be jealous of and realize maybe the grass wasn't actually greener after all.
Courtney also shares a Farm Girl Confession that is a solid parenting hack, while Annaliese's latest witchy experiment comes with some unfortunate digestive consequences. Plus, we get an unexpected education on the secret world of pinky rings, talk about getting older, and a panic-filled Facebook Live that Courtney will probably be thinking about for the rest of her life. As always, this episode is hilarious and, somehow, insightful along the way!

Call the Farm Girls old-fashioned, but there are a few things they think the world could live without. Annaliese and Courtney are airing their grievances about everything from technology and AI-generated flyers, to invisible money and giant shipping boxes. They also share submissions from other farm girls on how this world could be a little more old-fashioned.
Also, surprise! Jomo returns with another Farm Girl Confession involving boots on the ground journalism of a poop story in progress. Annaliese introduces us to Steve and a money app she's trying with her kids. While Courtney dives into beef imports and current true crime.
While it turns out the Farm Girls may want to live off-grid in the woods, they still appreciate some modern-day convenience!

This week, we're playing Never Have I Ever! From keeping receipts for future ammunition and sending almost nudes to eating actual glass and staying with terrible boyfriends too long, we share all. You’ll definitely find yourself playing along!
Things take a woo-y turn when Annaliese shares her recent intuitive reading and a pretty wild hummingbird coincidence, while Courtney opens up about the signs she's experienced since losing her grandpa. We also answer a Farm Girl Confession about making extra income in agriculture, share some side hustle ideas, and Courtney raises awareness about the proposed 765,000-volt transmission line through southern Wisconsin farmland and why landowners need to pay attention.

This week, we’re keeping it in the family and welcoming Courtney’s sister, Kristina, for a Farm Girls Unfiltered episode! We’re taking a trip down memory lane with stories of growing up as sisters, questionable childhood business ventures, and plenty of sibling shenanigans. Kristina also shares what it’s like being a corporate girly, balancing work and motherhood, and why being willing to do things scared and be just “okay” at something can take you pretty far.
We also talk about fundraising for Bike MS, and why the cause is so important to Courtney and Kristina’s family. Of course, things eventually go off the rails with workplace bathroom etiquette and the realities of pooping as a corporate girly. There’s no doubt you’ll laugh when we get into things we just don’t care about! This episode is for sure unfiltered and relatable!

This week we’re talking about getting kids excited about agriculture. From 4-H projects and livestock shows to gardens, pasture checks, and letting kids tag along for all parts of farm life, we’re sharing simple ways to get them involved. It might take a little extra patience, but giving kids responsibility, teaching them the “why,” and letting them feel like an important part of the operation can help grow an appreciation for agriculture that sticks with them.
Of course, raising farm kids also means answering some interesting questions. We’re talking semen tanks on the doorstep, explaining periods with farm-friendly terminology, nipples versus “nibbles,” and the things kids probably shouldn’t repeat in public. As usual, the episode turns hilarious as Courtney tells us how she ended up peeing outside Lambeau Field and Annaliese shares about her new buddy, Rick. It’s a wild ride, don’t miss the fun!

Welcome back to another Farm Girls Unfiltered, where we sit down with fellow farm girls for honest conversations about business, life, and everything in between.
This week we’re joined by Caitlin Schwandt, entrepreneur, educator, and founder of Wisco Cowgirl Co. Caitlin shares how a simple idea turned into a thriving mobile bar business, why she chose to sell it to prioritize family, and how that decision led her to build a new Midwest-inspired apparel brand. The conversation is packed with reminders that it's okay to pivot, collaborate instead of compete, and chase the ideas you can't stop thinking about.
Of course, it wouldn't be right without plenty of laughs along the way. From Courtney's magnet-selling business that never quite took off, to Annaliese's childhood babysitter kits, to Caitlin's unforgettable vomiting story, this episode is unfiltered, indeed! Grab a drink and settle in for an inspiring conversation about grit, creativity, friendship, and having the courage to just go for it.

We’re still celebrating 100 episodes this week! This episode is a continuation of last week’s, and we're diving back into the listeners' questions, confessions, and hilarious voice messages we were sent.
We're playing a farm-themed game of "Would You Rather," talking farm stands, wellness trends, embarrassing poop moments, and the realities of life on and off the farm. Along the way, we talk about why we're so proud of this podcast community, what it feels like to finally build something that pays off, and why sometimes the best advice is simply to stop worrying so much about what everyone else thinks.
As always, the conversations wander in the best way possible, ending with Courtney accidentally creating what might just be her next business venture. Thanks for celebrating 100 episodes with us, and here's to hundreds more!
