    Building a Sustainable and Profitable Farm Model with Amy Hill

    Building a Sustainable and Profitable Farm Model with Amy Hill

    On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Amy Hill.
    Amy was born and raised in the suburbs of Dartmouth Nova Scotia but spent her summer vacations on a mixed farm in Prince Edward Island where she dreamed of one day living that lifestyle.
    Snowy River Farms is comprised of woods and pasture rotated hogs, broiler chickens and lay hens raised on fruits, vegetables and nonGMO grains, a family dairy cow, too many barn cats to count and an ecological market garden that includes 5 greenhouses.  Amy believes that keeping her farm diverse is not only smart from a business risk management point of view but that it also creates the least wasteful operation that benefits her land, livestock and consumers.
    She not only grows produce, meat and eggs for the community, but she also adds value to many items by hand mixing their own sausages, making bone broth, lard, and pesto and has branched into offering on farm workshops for those who are interested in small scale farming and homesteading.

Bobby Ockerman ,

I am a Farmer.

I grew up in Ag along side my brothers and dad but never felt like I was enough of a “farmer” to hold the title even though I was actively participating alongside the men in my family doing the same tasks just not being a decision maker. I was fine holding the title “farmers daughter” checking cows, baling, cooking meals, and fixing fence but felt that I wasn’t quite a “farmer.” The stories shared gives validation and redefines what it takes to hold the title of a “farmer” and takes the shame away from not fitting in the traditional checkbox definition of being a man. I am so thankful to Katelyn and this podcast for redefining the definition of farmer and allowing me to claim my title.

A community I didn’t know I needed

I came across this podcast by accident but Katelyn had me hooked within the first episode. It is exactly what I need whenever I’m looking for motivation, positive vibes and validation for my goals. Being a farmer, homesteader, mother, wife and friend can all be challenging at times and I find that Katelyn has so many guests that can help talk me through those challenging times. I always finish her episodes feeling understood and motivated. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!

Inspiration found here!

The host of the podcast, Katelyn, has a knack for asking all the right questions that inspire meaningful and insightful conversations. Listening to each woman share their story often feels like I’m enjoying the company of a few good friends over coffee. Every episode is packed full of inspiration AND ag knowledge. It’s a podcast I recommend to all of my rural (or not) friends!
