Joel Naaf, a fifth-generation farmer at Naaf Farms in Marshall County, Kansas, carries on a family legacy that began when his ancestors arrived in America in 1869. After high school, Joel pursued a career in music, later using his master’s degree in Special Education to help students facing academic challenges. Nearly two decades later, he returned to the farm to work alongside his father, brother, and nephew. Today, Joel feels incredibly fortunate to farm, raise his family, and continue playing music—a life he describes as hitting the jackpot.
