A podcast for producers ready to shift for a stronger future.

For farmers and ranchers who know that somewhere in between the extreme ideals preached in food, there is room for innovation that benefits both our food system and the lifestyle of the American farmer.

Ask almost any farmer or rancher why they do what they do and you’ll probably get two answers:

for the next generation and because it’s what they love.

We are directly descended from independent, strong-willed people who came to a new place and literally scratched a living from the dirt. They built houses, barns, and families all while knowing if the crop failed, so would they.

Today’s challenges in agriculture are new, but the grit and determination required to be successful are not. Listen along as we share stories of how producers of all sizes and practices are moving mountains for things they believe in - all in the name of an industry that keeps growing and innovating for a stronger food system and stronger farm families.

Around here, we are obsessed with growing production agriculture opportunities

for the next generation.

I’m Your Host, Lexi - Welcome!

I started the Farming on Purpose Podcast from a passion for sharing the stories of people who are not afraid to try something new. Here, you won’t hear practices demonized or producers ridiculed for trying something unconventional. We believe that discussing ideas is the only way we will find a way forward that keeps our heritage alive AND feeds the people who depend on our food system.

On this podcast, we cover a lot of ground!

We talk about everything…

  • from goal setting and personal development

  • to unique farm and ranch business models,

  • profitability and succession for family businesses,

  • the food system and food decisions

  • creating a lifestyle that promotes independence and opportunity with the grit to obtain it

  • and creating the systems that propel farm and ranch families to greater success.

If you’re interested in hearing where others are finding success, challenging the status quo, and striving for better, then you’re in the right place!
