  • Ep 22- The one where we are not the farm.

    Welcome back friends! This episode we talk about how farmers feel the farm defines them. We want every farmer to understand that they are more than the farm. They are important, loved and so appreciated! We welcome a special guest Kate from Uptown Farm who wrote the blog, Farmer you're not the farm. As always stay grateful friends!

    "So I need you to hear me again - YOU ARE NOT THE FARM.


    You are a man who works harder than anyone I know. You are a man who is honest to a fault. You are a man who always finds new ways, better ways. You are a man who can keep the big picture in mind while maintaining laser focus on the details. You are a man who quietly, and humbly, prays for God to help you on the tasks he’s laid before you.

    You’re a husband. A father. A son. A brother and an uncle. You are a farmer, a damn good one too, but you are not defined by the farm.

    Your family and friends - we love you, regardless of your corn yield or planted acres or the price you sell your calves for."

  • Ep 21- The one where we weather the storm.

    Hey guys, I'm sure like the rest of you we have had so many highs and lows mentally in the last two weeks and we just wanted to chat some ways we have coped. Staying positive in such an unknown time is really hard but very necessary for your mental health to stay at its best! We are praying for each of your families health and well being during the duration of 2020.


    "The lord is near, do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

    -Philippians 4:5-6

  • Ep 19- The one where we talk to the comsumer.

    Welcome back! This episode we chat on how we advocate for agriculture to bridge gaps between producer and consumers.

    The funny thing people seem to overlook is that we as producers are also consumers. We mothers shop and have the options to choose in the grocery store as consumers as well. We share our story to try and bridge these gaps, bust some myths and bring light to how amazing we feel Agriculture is! 

    We also interview Brandi Buzzed on advocacy and fear based marketing as well.

    You can find her here- https://www.facebook.com/BuzzardsBeat/ or Instagram @brandibuzzard

    We feel she is a great advocate for the beef industry and are humbled she took time to be on today!

  • Ep 18- The one where we are enough.
    This episode definitely goes out to all our Working/ Stay at home Momma friends and listeners this week. As Kylie and Whitney struggle in their own day to day guilt as moms, wives and home makers we decided to chat it out and let you know its OK to not always feel OK. What you are doing in your current season is enough, do what you can with what you got and keep failing forward! Remember to always stay grateful even when times are hard. Even the smallest gratitude can make up for a pretty crummy day.
