Hi, I’m Jena
And my story truly began the day I married a farmer.
Over a decade ago, you’d have found me dreaming of city life—skyscrapers, remote jobs, and fast-paced days. I never imagined I’d trade the bright city lights for the quiet glow of cornfield sunsets or swap office meetings for muddy boots and early mornings on the farm.
But then I married my farmer husband, and everything changed. I stepped into a world where legacy is built not just on hard work, but on faith, family, and the simple, messy moments in between. The rhythm of rural life, the cattle drives, the corn harvests, and the smell of fresh earth became the backdrop of my new story. Between chasing three lively boys, managing farm chores, and nurturing our growing family, I discovered a deeper purpose. This life, grounded in resilience, love, and an unshakable connection to the land, isn’t just where we work—it’s where we live, laugh, and build the legacy we hope to pass on.
A FEW THINGS I ANSWER TO
BEST FRIEND
My husband and I have called each other “best friend” since 2012. We dream together, work together, and lean on God through every twist and turn. Marriage isn’t perfect, but choosing friendship every day keeps us grounded and laughing through it all.
SPEAKER
I never planned to step on stage, but I’ve learned there’s power in sharing your story honestly. Whether it’s a room full of farmers, moms, or faith-driven women, I speak from the heart and hope to leave people feeling seen, encouraged, and ready to face life’s messiness with courage.
PODCASTER
What started as simple conversations between two farm wives turned into a space for connection and honesty. Through Beyond the Crops, I share the real, unfiltered parts of farm life, motherhood, and faith—reminding women everywhere that they’re not alone in the messy, meaningful middle.
MOM
Snack lady. Lost water bottle finder. Rural Uber. Everyone’s biggest cheerleader. But more than that, being Mom is my greatest honor. I want my boys to know their worth comes from who they are, not just what they do. They’re my why—why I hustle, why I build, and why I keep teaching what it means to live with grit and grace.
INFLUENCER
I’m not here to be perfect. I’m here to be real. I share the beautiful chaos of farm life, motherhood, and entrepreneurship—not for likes or trends, but to build a community rooted in trust and authenticity.
FARMER
I thought I’d live in a city, but life had other plans. Now, dirt on my boots, cattle in the cornfields, and spreadsheets on my phone are all part of the daily rhythm. I’m proud to be a woman in agriculture, stewarding the land and legacy we hold dear.
