  • Need this, love this ❤️

    I love your podcast. You both inspire me to dive deeper into my faith and connect on a new level with God. Young farm wife, waiting not so patiently to quit my stressful job, going through a hard infertility journey, and escaping reality on the farm every chance I get. I look forward to your new episodes every week! You both inspire me!❤️

  • Feels like a cozy convo with your besties

    We all go through so many different seasons and this podcast has truly helped me feel not alone. As a mom to three littles, wife to a farmer and working in town part time to the rest of the time on the farm - I feel like these two gals just get me. I love learning along side them and appreciate the perspective they bring to our neck of the woods. Thank you for sharing the real and raw, and most importantly not standing down on the importance of your faith in God through it all.

I enjoy hearing all the farming stories and get so much encouragement around motherhood, health, and faith.
