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!
