S5E5: Alyssa Walsh on how Sweet Briar Creative is redefining agriculture marketing

Alyssa Walsh is the owner and founder of Sweet Briar Creative. She’s a proud ‘Cyclone’ graduate, an Iowa native, and has recently set roots in Kansas with her husband Daniel. Located in the heart of the Flint Hills, Alyssa is surrounded by the pulse of the cattle industry, which fuels her inspiration daily. Together they run Regal Cattle, an operation focused on equipping youth with the tools to succeed in the show ring for a season, & the genetics to build a business for generations. Alyssa started Sweet Briar Creative from the ground up during her time at Iowa State University. The original goals of the business was to display her self-taught videography and graphic design skills to future employers. As the business grew, she leaned on God’s calling for her life and took it full-time following graduation. Alyssa moved to Fort Worth, Texas where the business truly had the chance to grow from a college portfolio into the uniquely specialized marketing agency that it is today. Sweet Briar Creative now serves clients all across the country & even worldwide. Since that leap of faith, Alyssa has loved the opportunity to speak on stages near and far about the importance of starting to chase your dreams now, not later. Committed to igniting the entrepreneurial spark in young people, she is enthusiastic about continuing to grow awareness and drive positive change on this topic. Alongside these efforts, Alyssa recently launched a set of digital courses, instructing eager students of all ages how to learn design and video techniques. Above all she attributes her success in business to God’s sovereign plan for her life. She hopes that SBC continues to point her audience towards Christ, and aims to keep Him at the forefront of it all.

S5E4: Catching up with Alli Fender, the beef slingin' queen! cover art

S5E4: Catching up with Alli Fender, the beef slingin' queen!

Allison (Alli) Fender grew up in the gorgeous San Diego backcountry on a small Dairy and Beef operation. She attended San Diego Mesa College and played soccer on the women’s team while attending the Animal Health program offered there. In 2014, she obtained her Associate of Science Degree in Animal Health Technology and became licensed as a Registered Veterinary Technician. She worked in several small animal hospitals in the area. A month after graduation in 2014, she and her high school sweetheart were married on Mesa Chiquita Ranch, where she grew up. Her dad gifted her and her husband, Bryce, ten bred heifers, which was the start of their beef herd. Flying F Ranch was established in 2020 after Bryce and Alli created the brand and business selling beef directly to San Diego consumers. Their motto is “We Give a Flying F About BEEF.” In 2021, they added Registered Black Angus cattle into their herd to improve carcass quality. The couple learned more about genetics and began breeding more mindfully, propelling their beef business to a higher level. The couple currently sells Black Angus Beef direct to consumer as whole/half shares and USDA retail at local farmer’s markets. They recently started offering ranch to table experiences for San Diego locals to come enjoy a 5 course beef inspired meal curated by a local chef. They bring in local wineries and breweries to pair with the menu. The dinners are on open pastures on the ranch with cattle grazing nearby. Bryce and Alli raise their two sons, Warren and Wells, on the ranch together. They believe raising the next generation beside them will teach the young boys valuable life lessons and memories. Alli is an active member and Vice President of the San Diego CowBelles and helps with local Ag in the Classroom lessons, Beef Promotion, and Advocacy for our industry. Alli was selected as a NCBA Trailblazer in 2023 where she learned how to share her story in the cattle industry and gain trust with consumers through her story telling and advocacy efforts. In her spare time, she breeds and shows Australian Shepherds, participates in CrossFit, helps with school activities for her sons, is a dog leader for the Julian/Santa Ysabel 4H and manages the business of Flying F Ranch.  Connect with Alli: Website: flyingfranch.org Instagram: @flying_f_ranch (business), @alli.fender (personal) Facebook: Flying F Ranch, TikTok: @flying_f_ranch Check out PrimePlus Beef Bars: ⁠⁠https://primepluswagyu.com/AGCHICKS⁠⁠ Ag Gear: https://ag-gear.rfrl.co/egnjj Shop Ag Chicks Merch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.agchicks.net/shop⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------ Connect with Ally Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://agchicks.net⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/agchicks⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/agchicks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ @AGCHICKS https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/agchicks/support

I originally started with home decor, painting canvas’s and bull skulls to pay rent in college, I saved up my extra money and slowly started buying into clothes. — I worked in corporate for Dell Computers for 4 years but quickly realized but quickly realized that was not the industry for me and I needed to find something I was passionate about, to not only make a difference in my life, but others also. — My ultimate goal is to give others confidence through clothes, at an affordable price. — The name The Good Babes Co spoke to my heart, with a true meaning; in this time more than ever, we feel the need to spread kindness and positivity at every opportunity that presents itself. Instead of praising celebrities, let’s praise non-profits, telling a random stranger that you LOVE their outfit, skipping Starbucks to donate money to those who are in need, or even just giving a helping hand to someone at the grocery store.

I’m Teresa Johnson from Krum, Tx. At the age of 50, I took my first ever girls trip in 2019 and needed a safe way to carry and travel with my inherited turquoise jewelry. Starting with a vintage train case, I added some western flair, revamping it into a travel jewelry case. Several ladies on the trip asked me to revamp their grandmas‘ train case with my unique vintage western style. VCC was born. I’ve been a nurse 33 years and with the Covid pandemic in 2020 I began travel nursing and recognized a need for travel accessories, especially for my cherished squash blossom necklace. Sitting in an airport I designed a squash blossom case to secure and protect my necklace, eventually filing for a patent. I have continued to design and develop western style jewelry cases, travel accessories, and luggage and am so thrilled to now devote my full time to my business with hopes to get my cases into boutiques/stores nationwide.

My name is Sarah Sprayberry. I was born and raised in the hills of Boerne where I began bleeding maroon the second I came out of the womb. To say that my parents are die-hard Aggies would be an understatement, so naturally, I became academically inbred by receiving my bachelor's and master's as well as pursuing my PhD at Texas A&M. In my masters, I developed an E.coli pig model for human environmental enteropathy (a nutritional disease seen in youth in third world countries) while also managing the Texas A&M swine farm as one of the first female operators at Texas A&M. I have always had a passion for agriculture as I grew up raising pigs in 4-H, was involved in my high school’s FFA and competed at horse shows. Through my teaching at Blinn College and working for Texas 4-H, I solidified my desire to connect our youth with the farmers that feed them. I especially love developing culturally responsive programs for minoritized youth that can feel left out or overlooked.

The couple learned more about genetics and began breeding more mindfully, propelling their beef business to a higher level. Bryce and Alli raise their two sons, Warren and Wells, on the ranch together. They believe raising the next generation beside them will teach the young boys valuable life lessons and memories.

More about Caroline: As a storyteller by nature, I really hit my stride by creating content about my passion: the western industry. So much so, I left agency life behind and launched my own digital marketing business in 2019 and haven’t looked back. While no two days look the same, you can expect to find me writing, captioning and hashtagging through the workday, sometimes from the back of a cowpony. When I’m not working, I’m bothering my husband, Matt, riding horses or fan-girling over my corgi, Pokey.

Ag Chicks | S3 Episode 13: Pretty & Gritty - Jenna, Natalie, Stef, Cass, & Kirsten

On this very special episode of Ag Chicks, I sit down with Cassandra, Stefanie, Natalie, Jenna, and Kirsten to discuss the pretty and gritty elements of women in agriculture.  Link to Pretty & Gritty Jacket: https://www.tlazytboutique.com/product-page/pretty-gritty-canvas-jacket Link to shop Ag Chicks Merch: www.agchicks.net/shop More about today's guests:  We are Cassandra and Stefanie Lepp, 2 sisters who run our family farm in Manitoba with our dad. We also keep him in line at his aerial spray business and do everything there but fly. Ground crew life is one of our favourite times of the year! I finished my business degree in 2010 and Stefanie got her interactive media arts diploma and modelled after high school. But both of us were drawn back the farm and what this lifestyle provides. We share our life on @thetulepps because representation matters and the world needs to know we do in fact look like farmers. Natalie Kovarik is the co-host of the popular podcast Discover Ag as well as the co-founder of Elevate Ag - an online course and community providing producers with the tools they need to successfully advocate and share online. She and her husband live in Central Nebraska where they own and operate Kovarik Cattle Co, a cow calf operation with a growing registered herd. For the past 2 years Natalie has been sharing her ranching and familying story online to showcase the beauty behind the western lifestyle as well as foster a community who supports and trusts in Agriculture as much as she does. Singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette — a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty realities of ranch life — is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. Her finely calibrated blend of toughness and sensitivity is on full display in tracks like ”Country in the Girl” and “Pretty Ugly”, while current single “Slow Drawl” unleashes the sass and storytelling gleaned from those who precede her: The Chicks, Miranda Lambert, and Kacey Musgraves. Kirsten is a first generation rancHer living on and managing a ranch with her husband in Montana. You can find Kirsten on Instagram as @hashtagranchlife where she shares her journey into ranching, love of western fashion and all things ranch life! When she isn’t riding horses or chasing cattle, Kirsten can be found drinking coffee, taking care of her chickens and watching Heartland!

A little bit y’all and a little bit Yankee.” I am not the typical Long Islander. I fell in love with the equestrian and western industries early on in my life when I met a sorrel Quarter Horse, named Gunner. The fashion that came with showing him was also a huge bonus in my opinion. Over the course of my life, I went from competing in AQHA and NRHA shows to riding for the TCU Equestrian Reining Team. After college, I have remained a cowgirl at heart, always seeking new opportunities to support the western industry. I established the first spirit sponsorships with most major horse associations while I was at TX Whiskey. Now through my position at NCHA, I have been given the opportunity to promote the amazing sport of cutting within the western industry and beyond, exposing new people to the sport each and every day. Outside of work, I spend most of my time as a spectator at horse shows and rodeos. There is nothing I have a passion for more than introducing people to this incredible world and highlighting the cowgirl spirit.

Ag Chicks | S3: Episode 6 - Kenzie Holmberg

Thank you to Ag Chicks Sponsors Mudeas (www.mudeas.com) & Farm Tee Co (www.farmteeco.com)    About Kenzie:  BONAFIDE COWBOY BIO: Hey there, I'm Kenzie and I am your guide to Brand Photography. Whether your business is new to the western industry or has been there since the good ole days... BonaFide Cowboy is the name you need to remember when it comes to launching your newest products.  I built the BonaFide Cowboy brand with authenticity at the forefront of everything we do and create, by uniquely catering each shoot to each brand and authentically showcasing their products in action or in the environment that your customers dream of. Showcase your products in the hands of your consumers, covered in arena dirt, lost in a wild west scene or carried on the backs of your consumers. From brand photography to helping other photographers, our goal is to be "bonafide cowboy" in everything we do.   KENZIE BIO: Born & raised in Steamboat Springs, CO, I found a love for the agricultural lifestyle at a young age through the help of 4-H. I did not come from an ag-family but my parents were very supportive and helped me learn more about horses and the market lambs I raised through 4-H and by helping me build connections with ag-industry professionals. In middle school, I started interning with a local cowhorse trainer and over the years worked my way up to a ranch hand and eventually an assistant trainer. I attended the University of Wyoming where I graduated with a BS in Agricultural Communications with minors in Public Relations and Farm & Ranch Management. Throughout college, I continued to train and show horses, was an ambassador for the College of Ag & Natural Resources, and interned with UW Marketing & the National Western Stock Show. While still in college, I started learning graphic/web design/photography and began a side hustle to help pay the bills. Post-college, I spent a summer living in Weatherford, TX before moving to Billings, MT to work for the NILE Stock Show & Rodeo as the Equine Programs & Communications Director. Although I enjoyed my time in the "corporate" world, I ultimately decided that I wasn't happy in my job and wanted to pursue my own business that I had been continually building on the side. So at the end of 2019, I quit my job and began bartending a few nights a week while I worked on building my own business during the day. As we all know, in early 2020 the COVID-19 Pandemic struck and I was temporarily out of a bartending gig. I had little friends and no family in Billings and decided that I wanted to move closer to my family (and now fiancé) who were all living in CO, so I packed up and moved back to Laramie, WY so I could be closer to them. I continued to bartend, train/sell horses, help my clients with graphic/web design, and I continued to build my photography skills so that by the time 2021 rolled around, I was ready to take my photography business further. After a free online course on pricing, I decided I wasn't charging enough and raised my prices and it was the best thing I could have done. 2021 was a great year for my photography business and I grew immensely. Today, I have niched down to focus on brand photography and helping other photographers gain confidence and build their own businesses. I'm always learning & growing and I know that I'm not done yet.    Connect with Kenzie IG: @bonifidecowboy   Connect with Ally IG: @agchicks  FB: @agchicks     website: www.agchicks.net https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/agchicks/support

Ag Chicks | Season 3: Episode 2- Jenna Paulette

**Thank you to our sponsor Mudeas! Shop their durable and quality workwear at www.mudeas.com or follow along @mudeasworkwear on social media!** More about Jenna: Some things never go out of style: taking pride in a job well done, building upon your family legacy, remaining steadfast in faith and honoring the past while making room for the future.  Singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette understands all of this and reflects it in her music — a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty realities of ranch life, introduced to the time-tested genre of Country music as young as she can remember.   The true-to-her-roots hat act is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. "Ranching alongside my granddad and uncle taught me to rise to the occasion, they always expected me to be able to get the job done,” Paulette says. “In a lot of ways that prepared me to move to Nashville and pursue music where I now expect myself to be able to get the job done regardless, no matter the limitations.”  Her finely calibrated blend of toughness and sensitivity is on full display in tracks like “Country In The Girl” and “Pretty Ugly,” which wraps a gorgeous melody around lyrics reflecting the realization of a relationship gone cold, while current single “Bless Her Heart” unleashes the sass and storytelling that Paulette gleaned from those who precede her: The Chicks, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves.   She comes by the grit honestly: the Lewisville, Texas native grew up moving cattle on her family’s ranch in Thackerville, Okla. Paulette found her expressive, crystalline voice singing in church or during long, hot summers spent roaming the ranch’s vast expanses. “I cannot remember a time that we didn’t have country music playing in the kitchen when my mom was cooking dinner,” Paulette says. “My most vivid memories of knowing I wanted to make country music for a living was out moving cattle with my granddad. He had a George Strait Greatest Hits CD in his truck, and those were the songs I sang on the back of a steaming hot four-wheeler.”  Paulette earned a marketing degree at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and ultimately settled in Nashville, where she struck up a mentorship with Ashley Gorley, a veteran songwriter with 50+ No. 1 tunes under his belt.   After collaborating with songwriters like Will Bundy, Heather Morgan and Parker Welling, as well as opening for Mason Ramsey on his 2019 national tour, Parmalee, John Michael Montgomery and Aaron Watson this year, the savvy performer found herself playing to fans via TikTok, Pinterest and Instagram to continue growing her fan base, ultimately signing a publishing deal with Brad Paisley’s Sea Gayle Music earlier this year.  As Paulette’s star continues to rise ever higher, she hasn’t forgotten what really matters. She understands that what will cement her as one of Nashville’s most exciting artists is something as true now as it was in Music City’s earliest days. “When people listen to my songs, I want them to feel grounded,” Paulette says. “I want them to feel connected to their roots and to the way of life that I represent and love, because I think that way of life is just such a beautiful picture of how it can be.”  Connect with Jenna:  IG: @jennapaulette   Connect with Ag Chicks:  IG: @agchicks     FB: @Ag Chicks   Website: www.agchicks.net https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/agchicks/support

Ag Chicks | Episode 17: Amanda Severson

Amanda Severson is the owner of Grand View Beef, a 100% grass-fed beef operation in Clarion, IA. She received her degree in strategic communication from Washington State University in 2015 and began a career in the sports industry with the Seattle Seahawks. After meeting an Iowa farm boy, she left her dream job and moved to Iowa to ranch alongside her now-husband, Knute. She had no experience in agriculture. Today, Knute and Amanda raise and sell their beef directly to end consumers across the Midwest. Amanda shares their story via Instagram (@grandviewbeef) with the hopes of educating others on where their food comes from and showing them how they can find their happiness in the most unlikely of places.

Ag Chicks | Episode 15: Anna Kobza

Nebraska born and raised, transplanted to the panhandle of Texas. My name is Anna, and as I mentioned, I grew up in Nebraska (GBR!). I did my undergrad at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and moved south to the heart of cattle feeding country to get my masters degree in feedlot nutrition at West Texas A&M. I’m a long time lover of cattle, and the beef industry, and I’m so excited for my future in it. I began sharing more about animal agriculture on this app a couple of years ago, and have come to realize just how important it is that I keep using this platform to teach consumers how and where their food is raised. A few fun facts about me… My grandfather was a cattle feeder back in his day. He fed 56,00 head of cattle at his peak until he couldn’t withstand the economic hardships that the late 80’s brought. I have a commercial cow/calf herd back home that I started when I was a sophomore in college. I did not grow up on a farm, a ranch or a feedlot!

Ag Chicks | Episode 14: Moriah Hunter

Hey I’m Moriah Hunter, the Seeing Eye Brunette! I’m a Kentucky Farmer, wife & mom to 2 wild country boys, ages 4 & 1. My husband Trent and I own and operate Hunter Creek Farms. We run a commercial cow/calf operation, as well as a large grass hay business. Trent’s the brains & I’m his eyes. He was in a wreck after HS leaving him with 20% vision in one eye. The obstacles we’ve overcome through that has made our marriage stronger than I could imagine and turned us into a dream team. Farming isn’t for the faint of heart and I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. I love to share the real and the raw of farm life, but with my own dash of sass and humor. Thanks for listening as I share our story!

Ag Chicks | Episode 6: Debbie Wise

My name is Debbie Wise; I am a farmer's wife of 20 + years with two beautiful girls ages 17 and 15.  I have always had a passion for the ag industry.  Most of my time was spent in supporting roles, working alongside my husband Geordy in our orchards, raising our girls on the farm, tending to their stock show projects, and leading numerous 4-H and FFA groups.  But in 2016 my role changed.  Through a series of events combining my passion for healthy food, my love for raising livestock, and my family's own health scare, I set out on a mission to create a better beef product that was readily available to my local community.  After 8 months of planning and the support of my husband and our partners Keith and Jennifer Gardiner on July 14, 2017 (my birthday :) ) Redhouse Beef became a reality.  What started as a mission to produce quality grass-finished beef raised with the highest set of standards for my local farmers market has turned into a multi-species regenerative ranch that ships beef and a variety of provisions all throughout the west coast and the central US.  I never dreamed this project would grow as it has.  I love what I get to do every day and the team of people I get to work alongside. I love being part of such an incredible industry that feeds our world. I look forward to the future of Redhouse as we embark on the next chapter which includes fully integrating our beef operation, including opening our own USDA processing facility in late Spring of 2022.
