Connecting to Our Food with Kate Kavanaugh
On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Kate Kavanaugh.
Kate Kavanaugh is an entrepreneur, farmer, butcher, nutrition therapist, and host of the Mind, Body, and Soil Podcast. She saw firsthand the power of meat to heal her own body, and in seeking out farmers and ranchers raising meat, she found the power of meat to heal land, too.
In 2013, she opened Western Daughters Butcher Shop in Denver, Colorado, with her now-husband, Josh Curtiss, where they source grass-fed and pasture-raised whole animals from local regenerative farmers and ranchers. Kate is now the host of the Mind, Body, and Soil podcast, where she is devoted to digging in deep with guests to find the heart of connection and what it means to lay the groundwork for generations to come. She is a citizen soil nerd, avid reader, and ground meat's biggest fangirl. When she’s not running her businesses, you can find Kate raising pork, poultry, and grass-fed goats and cows on her 65-acre farm.

Micro Cultivation, Processing & Cannabis Education with Serena Donovan
*The content shared in this episode includes cannabis education and is intended for an adult audience.
On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Serena Donovan.
Serena Donovan is a proud wife, mother, and grandmother living and working on their family grain farm near Mossleigh, Alberta. Although Serena grew up rurally, she did not have a direct connection with Agriculture until later in life. Looking for ways to diversify their operation, in 2019, Serena began building her indoor cannabis facility, bringing farming indoors all year long. In February 2020, Because You Cann was the 2nd micro cultivation license issued in Alberta by Health Canada and the 25th in the nation.
In 2022, Serena expanded her cannabis businesses to include the MaryJane Manor, the 1st Cannabis Boutique Hotel in Canada. Having experienced judgment surrounding the stigma of cannabis and being a medical cannabis patient, she built out the hotel with the purpose of reducing the occurrence of negative stigma others may face in their cannabis consumption.
Cannabis may be a very untraditional crop to many, but Serena is a proud farmer!

Customer Reviews
Best Company for Chores
This podcast is my go-to for chore time. I manage our small farm/homestead by myself and it can be easy to feel worn down or pessimistic. Listening to this podcast puts strength in my step as I tend our animals and land. Stories of Motherhood, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and more, make the content well rounded and inspiring. Keep it up gals. We’re all in this together.
Love the podcast!
So awesome to hear other women’s stories and not feel so alone in this journey!
💜 Freckled Bloom Flower Farm
So informative!
While I don’t live in a rural area nor do I farm or homestead myself, I recently started working in the agricultural industry as a subject matter expert helping farmers and ranchers conserve their soil and water. I don’t have a farming background, but this podcast has helped me to learn more about the rural lifestyle and agriculture so that I can better help and understand the people I serve through my job. Keep up the good work!
