I’m a farmer, speaker, podcaster,
faith-first mama and a woman who believes roots matter more than reach.
That’s just the beginning. I’m a farm wife juggling cattle, crops, and a busy family with a deep faith that keeps me grounded. I’m also a podcast cohost, entrepreneur, and someone who loves sharing what real life looks like for women in agriculture today. I’m all about honest stories, sustainable living, and making the most of the time we’ve got.
Sound familiar? You’re more than one thing too. Whether you want to hear me speak or listen in on the podcast, I’m here to encourage you to embrace your own journey and find meaning right where you are.
Honest, grounded, and full of grit—just like the stories I share.
Whether I’m sharing about life in agriculture, entrepreneurship, or the beauty of living with intention, I bring real-life experience and a deep passion for connecting with others. I speak on ag education, sustainability, diversifying farm income, and what it means to show up fully as a woman in agriculture.
with Jena Ochsner + MP Sass
Hosted by two farm wives, Beyond The Crops is where rural roots meet real conversation.
Alongside my cohost MP, I dive into the daily wins, hard lessons, and honest moments that come with life on the farm—and beyond. We talk about everything from modern agriculture and family rhythms to the recipes and traditions that make rural life so rich.
