Podcasts about farm life

In this episode, we visit with Orin Nusbaum from Nusbaum Farms in Bellfountain, Oregon — a grower, husband, father, and content creator who's cultivating more than just crops. Orin gives us a glimpse into what life looks like on his diversified farm where he grows a variety of crops and provides fresh produce to local markets and his surrounding community.We explore how the farm has evolved over time — including planting 10 acres of oats in fall 2022, a crop that may have been a first for the operation — and how he navigates the unpredictability of farming, like this past season's surprise combine fire. Orin also shares how his family plays an active role on the farm: his wife, kids, and even the dog stay involved in everything from harvest to road trips to answering calls when things get busy.Celebrating 20 years of marriage, Orin and his wife have built a life around faith, family, and farming. Their teamwork, especially during harvest and hay season, is something that truly sets Nusbaum Farms apart. We talk social media, small-town support, and why it's so important to be present — both online and in the rows. If you love stories about families growing food, navigating challenges, and doing it all together, this episode is for you. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

This week, Jason is joined by fan favorite from season three of Farmer Wants a Wife, the one and only John Sansone! John isn't just the guy who brought heart, honesty, and a little southern charm to the show, he is also part of a proud legacy, helping his family's fifth generation farm, a place that's been in his family for decades. On top of that, he is also currently a graduate law student looking to dip his toes in the world of law & order. From early mornings in the fields to late night fireside chats on national television, John gave us a glimpse into what it means to balance love, land, and legacy. In this episode, John opens up about his mindset going into Farmer Wants a Wife, the surreal bubble of reality TV dating, and the career opportunities he was weighing before signing on. He shares the slow-burn story of his relationship with Claire, his candid thoughts on prenups, and what really went down during casting. John also weighs in on the Samantha situation, talks about his professional goals, and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at brand deals—including how ChatGPT led him astray on one. From growing up in a farming family to being courted by other reality shows (and why he said no), John gets real about his path, his plans for the future, and where he currently stands as a law student. Plus, don't miss a rapid-fire round to close things out.  John reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

In this episode, my guest is Isobel Knight, an Australian succession planning specialist and owner and director of ProAgtive - Australia's leading farm family transition planning business. Isobel specializes in ensuring that the next generation has an opportunity to participate in agriculture and believes that valuing family above all else is the key to future success. We will explain what it means when mom and dad “go soft” during the farm transition, plus the consequences of not having a family-centred process in place for the next generation. We will discuss how succession planning is not a single event, but an ongoing process, which, if started early enough, can protect farm family members (particularly mom and dad) when they're at their worst and most vulnerable.  Access the full show notes for this episode at elainefroese.com.

In this episode of Big Money Strategies, I'm taking you behind the scenes for a real, unfiltered look at what a typical day looks like running a business from our family farm in rural WA. Spoiler: it involves a lack of water, a toddler on the roof, and still serving clients at a high level. From client coaching and content creation to parenting, farm life, and chaos control, I'm walking you through how I run a multi-six figure business without the calm, quiet workdays most people picture. This one's for the women doing big things in wild circumstances—because your life doesn't have to look perfect to build a powerful business.

Interested in more content from RENEW? Sign up for our newsletter: https://renew.org/resources/newsletter-sign-up/  Today's episode will help us rethink how we approach ministry by trading a factory mindset for a more organic, relational, and patient way of cultivating spiritual growth. Farm vs. Factory: Embracing Gospel Principles in Ministry In this insightful session, Matt Reagan explores the concept of 'Farm vs. Factory' in the context of ministry. Focusing on the differences between organic, life-giving ministry and the high-demand, high-output factory model, Matt aims to guide attendees toward practices that are nourishing for the soul and effective for the kingdom of God. Drawing parallels between farming principles and gospel teachings, Matt emphasizes the importance of deep, transformational relationships, the power of seed-growing, and the commitment to kingdom values. Through a Socratic method, prayer, and interactive discussion, attendees are encouraged to reflect on their ministry experiences and realign with life-giving practices. The session also delves into the challenges of modern church structure and offers practical advice for maintaining spiritual health and focus amidst complexity. https://reallifetheologypodcast.supercast.com/  Key Takeaways  00:00 Introduction and Purpose 04:32 The Power of Seeds and the Kingdom of God 09:05 Challenges of Ministry: Feeling Like a Factory 14:28 Brainstorming Session: Factory-Like Aspects of Ministry 33:03 Mass Production and Church Concerns 35:16 Church Policies and Discipleship 36:04 Job Comparisons: Church vs. Farm 40:48 Farm Life and Ministry 42:48 Challenges and Rewards of Farming 47:42 Farm Life Lessons and Spiritual Growth 56:25 Final Reflections and Encouragement "Farming vs. Factory Work in Ministry"   In this episode, Matt Raegan draws a sharp contrast between two approaches to ministry: farming and factory work. Using humor, personal stories, and scripture, he challenges church leaders to embrace a slower, more organic model of spiritual growth. He opens with a light moment—encouraging people to connect with those around them, even if it's awkward—before diving into a deeper reflection on how the Gospel grows like a seed. Drawing from a Chipotle ad romanticizing farming, Matt uses it as a metaphor for how ministry should look: relational, patient, and rooted in care. He shares his son's journey into ministry as a living example of how faith takes time to develop. Like Jesus' farming parables, Matt emphasizes that the Kingdom of God isn't built on production lines but through nurturing environments where people can truly grow. He contrasts this with the "factory" model—rigid, impersonal, and driven by output—which can lead to burnout and disconnection. Ministry, he argues, should be more like tending a farm: slow, intentional, and deeply personal. Throughout, Matt invites the audience to reflect on their own experiences—acknowledging the emotional weight of ministry and the fulfillment that comes from doing the hard, faithful work of cultivating people's hearts. He closes with a powerful call to action: commit to the farming model. Plant seeds. Nurture the soil. Trust God with the growth. A final prayer ties it all together, asking for the strength to lead with patience, love, and a long-term vision rooted in the Kingdom. This episode is a call to return to ministry that feels less mechanical—and more alive.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today on the podcast I'm excited to have an interview with Kaleb Wyse. Kaleb is the creator of Wyse Guide and the author of the new cookbook There's Always Room at the Table. When Kaleb Wyse started documenting his daily life on his farm in Iowa, he didn't think many people would take notice or even care. After all, his way of life is simple, guided by the seasons—he spends his days gardening, preserving, baking, and cooking, a rhythm not all that different from that of his parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents who worked the land before him. But it turns out that people from all over the country connected with Kaleb's simple, back-to-basics way of living, and fell in love with his hearty, homestyle cooking. From casseroles to biscuits, his recipes hit the sweet spot of nostalgia for some—and are a breath of fresh air for others. Today on the show we're here to visit with Kaleb, learn all about his journey first on social media, leaning in to his life in south-east Iowa on his family's farm, and then his journey to writing and publishing his first cookbook.  Things We Mention In This Episode: Connect with Kaleb Wyse at Wyse Guide There's Always Room at the Table  Receive a free copy of the Art of Cookbook Creation checklist  

Farming life and the essential work of producing food for the world has long been celebrated in art, literature, and essays.Richard Scheuerman, an educator, author, and 1972 history graduate from Washington State University, wrote three books that take a deep dive into art and books about farming. He covers a huge span of time and geography, from the Bible to modern literature.In those three volumes—Hallowed Harvests, Harvest Hands, and Harvest Horizons—Scheuerman calls for all of us to keep farms and agrarian work top of mind. Our very existence depends on a part of our society, where our food comes from, that often gets forgotten or ignored.He talked with Washington State Magazine editor Larry Clark about the themes of the books, how we need to appreciate food production, and more about art and literature that speaks to the nature of farming, harvesting, and the agrarian life.Read more about the books in a Washington State Magazine review (Spring 2025).Buy the books at Triticum Press or Palouse Heritage Farm.Support the show______________________________________________________________________________Want more great WSU stories?

Mark and Kristin Kimball pioneered the full-diet CSA model when they founded Essex Farm back in 2004. Now 20 years later, they reflect on where they've been and where they're headed with host Katie Kulla. Katie is especially well positioned to ask them about the joys and challenges of a full-diet CSA, since she transitioned her farm from a more traditional CSA model to a full-diet CSA for a few years, inspired directly by the Essex Farm model. Mark and Kristin share their journey into farming, the challenges and successes of running a year-round farm, and the details of the full-diet CSA model they have developed.They talk about how they train their members to eat seasonally with the full diet provided by the farm, the changing role of horses as work animals on the farm, and how their farm bridges political divides through food. Mark and Kristin discuss how the farm has changed over the years, how they have learned to build a strong farm team to support complex year-round farm operations, and so much more, you'll want to listen to this fascinating interview whether you want to start a full-diet CSA or not!Connect With Guest:Instagram: @essexfarmcsa @farmerkimball @kristinxkimballWebsite: essexfarmcsa.com Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Discover innovative packaging solutions at A-ROO Company, your one-stop shop for customizable and eco-friendly packaging across various industries, including floral, produce, and specialty packaging.

Soil Health Assessment: Looking to boost your dollars per acre at harvest time? It all starts in the soil. Your plants are only as healthy as the soil they are feeding from. Reduced microbial activity and limited nutrient availability can result in lackluster harvests. Ward Laboratories can give you a complete report of our findings and recommend corrective measures. The new Soil Health Assessment (SHA) package is a test that combines the latest in soil science, ensuring that both soil fertility and soil health are viewed through a single test, helping farmers and researchers measure and manage soil health without compromising productivity. Microbial activity and food are evaluated to provide data that enhances operations while also evaluating nutrients in a manner that is widely accepted by Land Grant University correlations and calibrations. This new package also includes modified aggregate stability. With this addition, the new Soil Health Assessment offers two biological, one chemical and one physical indicator of soil health. Learn more at:www.wardlab.com/services/soil-health-analysis/www.grazemastergroup.com--Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.HOST: Kerry HoffschneiderGUEST:  Terry Buettner--CREDITS:Mitchell Roush, ProducerBibi Luevano, Cover ArtPurple Planet Music, Theme
