Farming with Family

By: Ashley Kenny
  • Summary

  • We talk about the good the bad and the ugly of generational farming. We introduce your hosts, Garrett and Ashley, sibling dairy farmers in Eastern Washington State. The goal of our podcast is to provide you with relatable content about what it’s like to farm with older generations and to diversify to make the operation sustainable for ourselves and our kids. We want to offer you systems, mindset shifts, tools and testimonies to improve your farm’s longevity. Not because we’re experts, but because we want to learn this stuff alongside you. Follow us on facebook and instagram @darilanefarms.

    2. Desire to have a purpose rather than just a paycheck
    3. Willingness/desire to learn
    4. Punctuality
    5. Communication
    6. No whining
