Jessica Meagan ,

It's feels like home.

We moved from California to Wyoming a few months ago and just bought our dream home on property. We have all the goals of farming, ranching and agriculture but to put it kindly, I am a fish outta water! Listening to these wonderful ladies has helped me learn, given me some starting points and also just encouraged me to dive in with both feet! So thank you, because deciding to move and start a whole new life that centers around ag and ranching has left me feeling pretty lonely. But this podcast really makes me feel like I am part of something.

hy55run ,

my fave pod!

love y’alls pod! I am probably not the most typical disco (a lifelong vegetarian and city girl), but I really appreciate your emphasis on food choice and nuanced discussion of food/ag topics. Y’all also have great chemistry- it’s rare to find a two-person pod that flows so seamlessly! Overall, I think it’s super important to hear directly from the ag community, so thank you for providing that perspective in an engaging and informative way and making this veg gal feel welcome!
