Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen are the founders and creators of Discover Ag, a female-led multimedia company, top-ranked podcast, and television series committed to making agriculture relevant and compelling once more. Through their platform, the two creative entrepreneurs seamlessly integrate themes of food, farming, western culture, and pop culture to highlight the remarkable diversity of modern agriculture, featuring stories from oyster farmers and vanilla growers to cattle ranchers, dairy families, and beyond.

They have since extended the brand with the video series Discover Ag On The Road, a groundbreaking cinematic adventure hosted by a quick-witted, millennial cattle rancher and dairy farmer. The series transports viewers directly into agricultural settings, exploring the origins of everyday food, introducing the dedicated people who produce it, and revealing the intricate processes behind familiar products.

Their expertise has also taken them to speaking stages throughout the United States and internationally. Focused on cultural relevance, authentic human narratives, and curiosity-driven inquiry rather than conventional agricultural reporting, their work fosters greater trust in the food system and inspires the next generation of agricultural leaders.
