Now, Anna is raising her kids where she grew up, rediscovering her roots, and learning what it means to be part of a multi-generational farming legacy. Join her journey of reconnecting with the land, integrating into the family business, and balancing motherhood, farming, and modern country living. 🌾 In this episode/video you’ll discover: • How Anna’s childhood on a sheep and goat farm shaped her values • What inspired her and her husband to leave city life behind • The unexpected twist that brought them back to the family farm • Challenges and joys of integrating back into family farming • Raising kids on the land and teaching the next generation about rural life 🐑 Keywords farm life australia, family farm story, leaving city life behind, returning to the farm, australian farming family, caravan around australia, homesteading australia, farm family vlog, raising kids on the farm, rural living australia, back to the land story, farm life journey, sheep and goat farm, aussie homestead, country lifestyle australia

When Brooke returned to her family farm, things looked very different. After years of drought, destocking, and leasing out the land, her father had pivoted into agricultural technology — working with tools like drones, farm data systems, and precision ag tech to help other farmers future-proof their businesses. Now it’s Brooke’s turn. She’s stepped into the business not just as “the farmer’s daughter,” but as a project manager, leader, and equal partner. Together, Brooke and her dad are helping farmers upskill in new technologies, proving that innovation and tradition can thrive side by side. 💬 Brooke’s story is about resilience, family, and redefining what it means to work on the land. From battling perceptions (“Oh, you just work for your parents”) to managing large-scale agtech projects, Brooke’s showing that the next generation of farmers isn’t just inheriting the farm — they’re reinventing it. If you’ve ever felt the pull to go back to your roots, take over a family business, or carve out your own path in agriculture — this interview is for you. #WomenInAg #NextGenFarming #FamilyFarm #FarmTechnology #AgricultureInnovation #FarmingLife #FarmersDaughter #AgTech #SustainableFarming #RuralStories #FarmingPodcast

🎙️ The Ultimate Farm Wife – Season 9, Episode 1

Guest: Bridgitte Brooks – Founder of Homestead Road

We’re kicking off Season 9 with an inspiring conversation with Bridgitte Brooks, fifth-generation wool producer and founder of Homestead Road.

Homestead Road is more than a clothing brand—it’s a movement to educate, connect and celebrate rural women through timeless, versatile, and sustainable Australian merino wool pieces.

As a mum of four, Bridgitte knows firsthand how clothing impacts the way women feel when their bodies and identities shift through motherhood. She saw a gap in the merino activewear market—where choices were either overly technical or too plain—and set out to create something different.

Now, Homestead Road offers effortless, modern athleisure designs that move with women through every season of life—whether that’s working on the farm, running errands, or heading out for the evening. These garments reflect the reality of being a busy, multitasking rural woman: strong, stylish, and always on the go.

💡 In this episode, Bridgitte shares:

• Her journey from fifth-generation wool producer to fashion founder
• The role clothing plays in confidence, identity, and empowerment for rural women
• How she’s bridging the gap between sustainability, quality, and everyday practicality
• What makes merino wool such an incredible fibre for modern living
