Why Your Best Life Might Look Nothing Like You Planned | REAL MONEY · Real Money with Lisa Chastain

• 0:00
  Hey, it's Lisa and welcome to a new episode of Real Money.
• 0:03
  Today I have a guest, Sage LeBlanc, who is the owner of
• 0:07
  Yellowstone Farmstead. She is a 30 year old woman here
• 0:11
  in America today who is disrupting and changing the
• 0:14
  landscape of farming for women in small communities and for
• 0:19
  America today, you're going to hear about how Sage founded
• 0:22
  Yellowstone Farmstead at just 23 years old.
• 0:25
  She supplies food directly to Yellowstone National Park and
• 0:29
  she's created a work trade housing model that attracts
• 0:31
  young women from across the country.
• 0:34
  You've got to tune into this conversation about what it takes
• 0:37
  today for women with real heart, with real vision and a real
• 0:41
  mission to make a difference. Sage is doing that.
• 0:44
  You can do that. And I'm ready to dive in with
• 0:47
  Sage. Let's go. love so much about
• 0:54
  what you're doing is that you're doing what you can in your
• 0:59
  family with your generational history to make a difference not
• 1:03
  only for the planet, but for women and for the industry that
• 1:07
  gets across the board. You're like, well, I'm just
• 1:09
  going to do something about it, and this is what I can do.
• 1:11
  And I think that every woman can do something about it.
• 1:14
  And this is just the lane that you chose.
• 1:16
  Yeah, there was a moment of being like, someone has to do
• 1:20
  something, and you get so sick of waiting for somebody else to
• 1:23
  do it that even if this crashes and burns, I'll know, hey, I
• 1:26
  tried, and it's not perfect, but damn it, it's worth it.
• 1:31
  Well, good. Let's talk.
• 1:33
  Let's lean into that. I want to give my listeners some
• 1:35
  back story. You can go do the research on
• 1:37
  Sage. There's plenty of information
• 1:39
  out there about the farm and how it started.
• 1:42
  And ultimately there there came a point.
• 1:44
  So I'd love to know what that point was because you were
• 1:47
  young, you were in your early 20s.
• 1:49
  Yeah, what? What were you noticing about the
• 1:51
  industry and speaking? I'm I'm in the money industry,
• 1:54
  but I don't know a lot about farming.
• 1:56
  I know about mass farming and I'm educated enough to
• 2:00
  understand that there are some trends in farming that need to
• 2:03
  change. Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:06
  Did you wake up in the middle of the night and say fuck this or
• 2:08
  what happened? So, yeah, during college, I went
• 2:12
  to school at Monte State University and was getting my
• 2:15
  degree in agricultural education.
• 2:17
  And I was putting myself through college while working in
• 2:20
  restaurants. And I loved everyone that I
• 2:23
  worked with and I loved all these chefs.
• 2:24
  And the integration of like restaurants and tourism in
• 2:29
  Montana is so neat and and intermingled and right down from
• 2:33
  the ingredients that we've unboxed that took forever to get
• 2:37
  here. And then the quality was low,
• 2:39
  right down to like sharing my tips with someone who wasn't
• 2:42
  going to make rent that month. Like, I'm like, man, like there
• 2:45
  needs to be something different. Or even the restaurants that we
• 2:49
  are working with, some of them couldn't stay open during peak
• 2:52
  tourism season because there's nowhere for anybody to live.
• 2:56
  There's tons of people who want to work there.
• 2:59
  You have tons of people who like, have the expertise who
• 3:01
  want to make this place a community and there's nowhere
• 3:05
  for them to live. And so there's nowhere
• 3:08
  affordable. Now we have, we have whole
• 3:12
  neighborhoods out here that are entirely Airbnb like they're,
• 3:16
  they're empty for majority of the season because there's no
• 3:19
  money to be made In the winter time after the corona boom,
• 3:22
  there was huge buyouts of these like right down to like cute
• 3:25
  little double wides with like no view but and, and no plow in the
• 3:29
  driveway. But those were Airbnb's too.
• 3:31
  And so the families that lived there had to find somewhere
• 3:33
  else. And, you know, the wife was a
• 3:35
  housekeeper at one of the local small hotels, and the husband
• 3:41
  was a line cook, and their kids went to a local school.
• 3:45
  So all of a sudden, this whole population of people was no
• 3:47
  longer able to live in this area.
• 3:49
  And I'm like, this isn't right. Like, we have to do something.
• 3:54
  Like, we have to do something if I want this place to stay a
• 3:57
  community. And I need to figure out a way
• 3:59
  to make everybody stay. And that's how this project is
• 4:01
  really born. So we.
• 4:04
  Yeah, we've been farming for a little while and supplying a
• 4:06
  bunch of local restaurants and hospitals and involved with the
• 4:10
  farmer school program a little bit.
• 4:11
  But this year was really the turning point where I'm like,
• 4:14
  man, if we don't do something now, something we'll wish we
• 4:17
  had. So now how many, how many people
• 4:20
  do you have living at the farm? Currently 0 because it's
• 4:24
  November, but over the course of the summer we we circulated
• 4:28
  several individuals through. At the end of the year, we had
• 4:31
  six committed people. And I'm so lucky because all six
• 4:35
  of those people said, hey, I can't wait to be here.
• 4:37
  We'll be here in May. See you then.
• 4:40
  And yeah, we have the opportunity to bring on a new
• 4:45
  room where there's a new room available for us to be able to
• 4:47
  fix up and and doctor and make available for a new person.
• 4:52
  And I don't know if I told you a little bit about this, but my
• 4:56
  core group of people came to me, SAT me down and said, hey, you
• 5:00
  know, the point of this farm and the point of this project is to
• 5:03
  like, support the community as much as we can.
• 5:06
  And he said, how about instead of us bringing on someone else
• 5:09
  from out of state, we bring on someone who is aged out of the
• 5:11
  Montana foster care system. Like, you have to bust a new
• 5:15
  acre anyway. Why don't we any profits that we
• 5:18
  make off of this? Would you be comfortable setting
• 5:20
  an aside for this person who's then going to enter the world
• 5:22
  after that summer? And so when I was done crying
• 5:25
  and trying to act tough and one of these people, I'm like, yeah,
• 5:28
  that's a beautiful idea. And it's really cool to have
• 5:30
  seen this project grow. Yeah, that is, it's beautiful
• 5:35
  and it's it's, it's a project, but it really could, it could be
• 5:39
  the future. It could be the future.
• 5:41
  Farming. What you're doing specifically
• 5:46
  is you're creating not just amazing whole food for
• 5:51
  communities and for a National Park, but you're providing
• 5:54
  housing, which is not normal in your industry.
• 5:57
  Can you explain what's not normal about that?
• 6:00
  Yeah, our housing is. So if you do have farm housing,
• 6:04
  it is provided to like full time employees on a farm.
• 6:08
  Like this is their whole goal. This is their whole thing.
• 6:10
  And that that's not what we wanted to do.
• 6:12
  I mean, we wanted people to have the opportunity to make art and
• 6:17
  have other little jobs and have a family and pursue the things
• 6:21
  that really make us human. And so instead of having it be
• 6:25
  like work related housing, we don't actually have any
• 6:27
  employees. We have volunteers.
• 6:29
  And if the volunteers choose to stay, we have housing available
• 6:33
  to them. It's not fancy, it's more
• 6:36
  bunkhouse style. You get a bedroom and a bathroom
• 6:38
  and a kitchen and a living room that you share.
• 6:41
  But it's pretty cute. But we only ask for 15 hours a
• 6:46
  week. And so they've plenty of time to
• 6:48
  go pursue the things that they want to do.
• 6:50
  And what they want to do is work in the community.
• 6:53
  We have people who help out with, you know, the local
• 6:57
  schools. We have people who help out with
• 6:59
  local chefs and drag those chefs to the farm to do farm table
• 7:03
  events. So it's a, it's a beautiful
• 7:06
  process. And, you know, there would need
• 7:09
  to be some core changes in the way that we produce food.
• 7:12
  Like, God bless anybody who's willing to like, take that on.
• 7:16
  Like a very small percentage of the US feeds everybody.
• 7:21
  I think if I would, I want more people to understand the
• 7:25
  education behind it. I would want more farms to
• 7:28
  involve others to be able to be like, hey, I want to teach you
• 7:31
  how to do this. So then you can go on and do it
• 7:33
  yourself. I think if we were able to
• 7:36
  create these centers of education around the food system
• 7:39
  and to welcome more people to stay and be involved, we'd be
• 7:43
  able to create more farmers and more people who are willing to
• 7:46
  lead the charge themselves. Yeah, because food scarcity is a
• 7:50
  big conversation right now in the country and.
• 7:55
  It's a big one. We're literally less than a week
• 7:58
  out of the government being shut down for a month.
• 8:01
  Which foods insecurity was the conversation in the news in our
• 8:05
  community in Las Vegas, too? My husband and I volunteered the
• 8:08
  pantry, and there's this perception that there isn't
• 8:12
  enough food. But it's not a food problem, is
• 8:15
  it? Yeah.
• 8:17
  What are the problems? US wastes incredible amounts of
• 8:21
  food. There are no systems in place to
• 8:24
  be able to move that along. Other nations across the world
• 8:27
  like have a program where if something nears, an expiration
• 8:30
  date becomes available to those in need.
• 8:32
  And man, one of the things that we're all going to experience in
• 8:35
  this lifetime, whether it be our own or be the greed of others is
• 8:39
  greed. And what we do is we've opened
• 8:42
  it up to say like, Hey, if you don't believe in this, like
• 8:45
  here's an opportunity to do something about it.
• 8:48
  I physically don't have enough hands to be able to pull 400 lbs
• 8:52
  of turnips out of the ground to donate to my community.
• 8:56
  But if you'll come help me, that's just one more that I'm, I
• 9:00
  will be able to donate. And my community flooded me.
• 9:04
  They're like, Yep, we'll be there.
• 9:06
  I'll help you. We had help from outside
• 9:08
  organizations as well like like Food Shed is an awesome
• 9:12
  organization that makes local produce available to the masses
• 9:17
  and they help me even deliver to the food bank, which was awesome
• 9:20
  that. Is awesome.
• 9:22
  Yeah, that's, that's incredible. This season is disruption.
• 9:25
  So I've had multiple experts on and multiple people and all
• 9:28
  kinds of different. I've had a doctor come on
• 9:31
  talking about what's disrupting for women, specifically in the
• 9:34
  healthcare industry right now. I had a real estate professional
• 9:38
  come in and we're talking about disrupting in that industry.
• 9:41
  And for you right now, this is a huge disruption for the food
• 9:44
  industry, which could be massive in implication in the United
• 9:49
  States. We're seeing it in other
• 9:51
  countries working so well. And what I heard you just say is
• 9:55
  that it's not even a human resource problem because people
• 9:59
  want to come and help and be a part of their own process.
• 10:03
  So it's not a labor problem. What's the problem?
• 10:07
  Why can't we get more fresh food to more people?
• 10:10
  Ability, you know and the cost of of everything I mean we we
• 10:16
  deliver into Yellowstone in a in a broken down van then I got
• 10:19
  second hand it's fluorescent yellow or in a Toyota Tacoma.
• 10:24
  It is land out here to be able to not only grow things, but
• 10:28
  house people. It's $100,000 an acre with no
• 10:34
  electricity and no water. And so you have to have people
• 10:37
  and organizations that are willing to, like, move greed out
• 10:39
  of the way for the furtherment of their projects.
• 10:43
  And I lucked out and I'm so grateful because I kicked down
• 10:47
  the doors of those organizations was like, do you want to do
• 10:49
  this? And they said, yeah, but more
• 10:52
  people need to be able to stick their neck out to be like, this
• 10:54
  can work. You know, there is a way through
• 10:57
  this. There is an alternative.
• 11:00
  And when we're able to do that, more people are like, you know
• 11:02
  what? Heck yeah.
• 11:04
  Yeah, as a woman, having other women now as farmers, what
• 11:10
  inspires you about that? Because that's not the typical.
• 11:13
  And again, everything that you're doing is atypical.
• 11:16
  But now we're seeing women farmers with other women, not
• 11:20
  just volunteers, coming to live, coming to work.
• 11:23
  How cool is that? But what, what is that?
• 11:25
  What do you see possible there for women?
• 11:28
  Man, what I see is people who are willing to be that giver,
• 11:31
  like every woman I work with, all my best friends are like,
• 11:34
  hey, like I'm willing to give you this time or like I have
• 11:37
  this extra or like I'm I want to learn this.
• 11:40
  I don't have the money to give this to you, but I have the
• 11:42
  expertise in this. If you don't want to learn this
• 11:44
  is there's someone who does. Can there be this exchange in
• 11:47
  good faith? Can there be this this forward
• 11:51
  motion towards improvement towards like real change?
• 11:55
  And I believe that more women now are willing to see that
• 11:59
  there is the opportunity to change.
• 12:00
  We don't need to be stuck in these ways.
• 12:02
  And biggest difference I've seen is, man, nothing fuels a
• 12:07
  movement quite like spite. And.
• 12:10
  Right. Yeah, the first ever farm we
• 12:13
  ever I have released. It was awesome.
• 12:15
  You know, I learned a lot, but I received an accidental voicemail
• 12:20
  or they didn't know that they called me.
• 12:21
  And they were very dismissive of myself as a farmer and as a
• 12:26
  female farmer. And I've saved it.
• 12:30
  And I share it at the beginning of the year when we start, man,
• 12:34
  most of the time it's. It's now just laughs associated
• 12:37
  with it. And like, look how far we've
• 12:38
  come. And, you know, this person
• 12:40
  didn't believe that we could. And, man, we did.
• 12:43
  Amazing. Yeah.
• 12:44
  And it lights that fire to say that you can't.
• 12:47
  And then to have so many women, so many people be like, Yep, not
• 12:51
  only can we, but we're going to. Absolutely.
• 12:54
  So amazing working conditions. I mean, you're in Montana, so
• 12:58
  it's cold, but. Whatever, it's cold, full of
• 13:01
  grizzly bears. Every every volunteers room
• 13:04
  comes with a can of bears space. But other than that, other than
• 13:08
  the fact that it's cold and there are bears, you have
• 13:10
  quality sleeping, quality housing, quality food.
• 13:15
  You're treating your people with care and with dignity.
• 13:19
  You're doing it legally. You're building community.
• 13:25
  And what is it costing you to do this?
• 13:30
  Because the, the perception that we have in the media is that or
• 13:33
  that I've, that I've learned is that there is no money in
• 13:36
  farming. And I've, and then I just heard
• 13:37
  you say that the land is really expensive.
• 13:40
  What is it other than human capital and some of its
• 13:43
  volunteer capital? How are you making this work?
• 13:46
  Yeah, that's the, that's the interesting part.
• 13:49
  You know, I hope to break even every year.
• 13:53
  And we're really grateful to have the Yellowstone
• 13:55
  connections. I have the most amazing chefs
• 13:59
  that I work with in town who are willing to be like, Oh my God, I
• 14:03
  have, you know, 400 extra pounds of Napa cabbage.
• 14:07
  And one of my chefs will be like, Yep, we'll take it.
• 14:10
  We'll do 2 rounds of kimchi this week.
• 14:11
  Don't even worry about it. And so really like, what makes
• 14:14
  the difference for me is like having that connection, like
• 14:17
  this is one big circle. It is I grow the produce that
• 14:22
  goes to the restaurants that hires the people who volunteer
• 14:26
  on the farm who are then paid to, you know, they go out to
• 14:31
  said restaurants. And it's all it's I love my
• 14:33
  community because it's everybody sharing the same $20 bill.
• 14:37
  And really, if if we don't make a cent and profit like a healthy
• 14:41
  man wants for many things and a sick man wants for one.
• 14:44
  And right now there's so much sickness of like the heart and
• 14:49
  the soul and the spirit, which just seeking community and to be
• 14:52
  a part of something bigger every time that I'm like, hey, you
• 14:56
  know, did you have a good day? And someone will give me just a
• 14:59
  rattled off story of like their experience, not only on the farm
• 15:03
  with the people that we're living with or the connections
• 15:06
  that they've made here. Like that.
• 15:08
  Even if I just make that, that's enough.
• 15:11
  Yeah. And it, it sounds like there's,
• 15:13
  there's lots of different ways and I'd love to dig into your
• 15:16
  money personality because before we have done even and if you
• 15:20
  haven't taken your money personality test yet, take it.
• 15:22
  It's going to be in the show notes.
• 15:23
  And that's all over my YouTube channel is that there are these
• 15:27
  different money personalities and you spoke into brilliantly
• 15:31
  what your currency is. And we need money.
• 15:34
  Yes. What you're doing as a giver,
• 15:36
  money personality, is you're using your strengths and your
• 15:40
  currency, which is people and the earth, to create sustainable
• 15:44
  living. That's what you're doing real
• 15:47
  time because of who you are. Yeah, Thank you.
• 15:51
  That made me feel way better. My test was like very
• 15:53
  emotionally triggering, so I appreciate you putting it.
• 15:56
  Yeah. What was emotionally triggering
• 15:57
  for it for you about it? It was going through the list
• 16:01
  and being like, hey, are you willing?
• 16:03
  Do you pay for others even when you know you shouldn't?
• 16:06
  I'm like, Yep, are you willing to pay your more than your fair
• 16:10
  share for the betterment? I'm like, absolutely.
• 16:13
  And just my experiences this year and the people that I've
• 16:16
  met and the experiences that would have had with them, I'm
• 16:19
  like, oh man, like I, I did all that.
• 16:22
  But in the end, like, you know, we threw out a room to a single
• 16:26
  dad and he couldn't work as many hours, but he brought his
• 16:29
  children and they collected seeds for me and I'm like, wow,
• 16:34
  like that's a core memory for them and me forever.
• 16:37
  I'm like, maybe that's worth more than the extra $20.00 I
• 16:40
  could have made on that day. What it sounds like is everyone
• 16:42
  wins though. Yeah, yeah.
• 16:45
  That's to give our money personality is it isn't just
• 16:49
  about you, an eternal profit and making sure that you're taking
• 16:54
  care of first. It really is a paradigm shift of
• 16:57
  what you've created at Yellowstone Farmstead is that
• 17:00
  you're OK and everyone else is OK and that everyone eats,
• 17:06
  everyone lives, everyone has each other, and if we go back to
• 17:10
  the basics, isn't that what we're all looking for anyway?
• 17:14
  That's well. I agree.
• 17:16
  I agree. It's a new economy that you're
• 17:18
  birthing. Yeah.
• 17:19
  Birth is painful. Gosh.
• 17:21
  It's so painful. It's so painful.
• 17:23
  If I could share all of the stories and being in the money
• 17:26
  industry, there's such a stigma around, well, she has to have
• 17:28
  zillions and zillions of dollars to know what she's talking
• 17:31
  about. And that's exactly why I started
• 17:33
  my podcast is to say there are there are so many ways for us to
• 17:37
  be happy and healthy. And it doesn't require every
• 17:40
  human being to be a billionaire in order to make that happen.
• 17:43
  What it requires is people. And in this, in my world, in
• 17:47
  your world, women standing up, stepping up, doing what we can
• 17:52
  do, you're taking all of the history and all of the knowledge
• 17:55
  that you've accumulated over generations and you're saying
• 17:58
  the world can do better and you're showing the way.
• 18:02
  You're showing the way real time.
• 18:03
  How could someone listen to this and take this back to their own
• 18:07
  community and implement some of the things that you've created
• 18:10
  real time at Yellowstone? Yeah, I would say that if you
• 18:16
  see an opportunity to do something for your neighbor, if
• 18:20
  you see an opportunity to do better or fill a need, and you
• 18:24
  just need a little bit of help, ask for it and watch the magic.
• 18:28
  You'd be surprised how many people are seeking the
• 18:30
  opportunity to create that. And you are not alone, even
• 18:32
  though everyone wants you to feel that way.
• 18:34
  That's what I'd say. Try.
• 18:36
  Yeah. And what do you do on the hard
• 18:38
  days? Oh man, I have amazing friends.
• 18:43
  I have amazing friends. I always seek to create in like
• 18:47
  a real work life balance for the people who volunteer on the farm
• 18:50
  and I do not extend that to myself, and I really should.
• 18:54
  But on the hard days, I have friends whom I call.
• 18:57
  I have my good friend Jen Walker, who is always there to
• 19:00
  kick me in the pants when I'm feeling down on myself.
• 19:02
  I have my neighbor Cindy, who knows I'm exhausted and
• 19:07
  terrified of butterflies. I know it's silly, but we
• 19:10
  release butterflies on a children's project where we
• 19:13
  sponsor caterpillars into classrooms, and then they
• 19:15
  release butterflies to either the greenhouse or the farm.
• 19:18
  And I can't do that. And so she comes in to fill that
• 19:22
  gap with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
• 19:24
  And I'm like, wow. Like I am so grateful to have
• 19:28
  the opportunity when like, something's too hard for me or
• 19:30
  when something's too much. So I have these amazing friends
• 19:33
  who are willing to be like, Nope, Nope.
• 19:34
  Keep going. You're going to do OK.
• 19:37
  And just the extreme belief in that.
• 19:40
  I live in a small town and you know, I'm not exempt from having
• 19:44
  a town job. I'm always, I'm going to put my
• 19:46
  money where my mouth is. So I work two days a week at a
• 19:48
  local restaurant. And yeah, I have amazing people
• 19:52
  who come in once a week to be able to be like, is that what
• 19:54
  you did? Like, good for you.
• 19:56
  Keep going. Like, hey, this is amazing.
• 19:58
  And like, sometimes like, that's all I need.
• 20:01
  But yeah. Yeah, that's beautiful.
• 20:03
  I love that. What would you looking forward?
• 20:07
  How old are you now? Because you were 23 when you
• 20:09
  started. How old are you?
• 20:10
  Today, on October 1st, I turned 30 years old.
• 20:14
  OK, great. Welcome to the 30s.
• 20:18
  I felt 30 for for like since I was 21 I've been telling people
• 20:22
  I was 32. I killed the module myself, but
• 20:27
  yeah. I I have the privilege of
• 20:29
  coaching and mentoring women that are in their late 20s,
• 20:32
  getting closer to 30 and that there's a perception of
• 20:36
  something that life, life is changing.
• 20:38
  Life is different when you get into your 30s.
• 20:41
  What do you hope for your for this decade, for yourself and
• 20:45
  for the farm? Man, I have vowed to enter 30
• 20:49
  fearless. I have vowed to like if
• 20:52
  something like seems scary or seems difficult or like it might
• 20:56
  not work out. The worst that can happen is it
• 20:59
  might not work out and wouldn't you rather tried And so you
• 21:03
  know, we're we're branching out. We are extending A handout to
• 21:07
  other young people who want to do something differently.
• 21:09
  We, we're approached by someone who wants to do sustainable
• 21:13
  weddings. And so we're like, Yep, we're,
• 21:15
  we'll welcome you here. We've reached out, someone
• 21:17
  reached out to us about talking to our neighbors about
• 21:20
  geothermal, but they're, they're terrified and, and scared.
• 21:23
  They don't know how to start that conversation because
• 21:24
  they're very new. I'm like, you know what?
• 21:26
  I'll make an introduction like you go, girl, let's do this.
• 21:29
  And just just the commitment to like enter 30 fearlessly and
• 21:33
  like encourage others to do the same.
• 21:36
  So. I hope so too.
• 21:37
  I know so I know so people, no pun intended, I guess, but
• 21:41
  people are hungry for this, hungry for this, that there's,
• 21:45
  there's so much more meaning to life than just money.
• 21:48
  Yes, we need money to make things work, but there are so
• 21:51
  many ways that we can make it work without so many resources
• 21:55
  too. And ultimately what I what I see
• 21:58
  happening for on the farm and what I'm hearing you say is that
• 22:01
  it takes a whole lot of resources, but not necessarily
• 22:04
  dollar. To make it work, absolutely it
• 22:08
  takes. Courage and creativity and time
• 22:12
  and heart and heart. Yeah, yeah, you got to, you got
• 22:16
  to love it. You got to love it and love each
• 22:18
  other even when it's hard. And I'm really grateful.
• 22:22
  My my volunteers really love it. Like, and farming is so hard and
• 22:28
  this end of this year has been so hard.
• 22:31
  But even after like a hard day, we had a couple extra hours and
• 22:35
  they're like, hey, you know, we've got a couple extra boxes
• 22:38
  that we didn't use for delivery this week.
• 22:40
  And I have several loaves of sourdough that I didn't end up
• 22:43
  like giving away. Like we know that we can contact
• 22:47
  somebody to find out who might need a little extra box of food
• 22:50
  this week. Like let's go and, and sneak it
• 22:53
  onto someone's porch. And I'm so grateful that they
• 22:58
  have not only like the heart, but the energy to be able to be
• 23:00
  like, Yep, I have one more like increment of energy and I'm
• 23:04
  going to give it away. Love that.
• 23:07
  What I learned from that is you can be as sneaky as you want
• 23:09
  trying to drop off boxes of food, but everyone has a ring
• 23:12
  doorbell and or camera somewhere and you're just going to get a
• 23:15
  lot of photos of yourself looking really silly.
• 23:17
  So. It's all good, it's all good.
• 23:22
  Have you had to make any compromises of yourself in order
• 23:25
  to pursue your dreams? You know, when I went into this,
• 23:29
  when I graduated from college, I had a really good job in sales
• 23:32
  for a well known agricultural company.
• 23:34
  And you can be really good at something and hate it.
• 23:39
  And I remember wanting to do this and knowing that like
• 23:43
  agriculture and like the healing of people was going to be in my
• 23:45
  colleague. I worked in a retirement
• 23:48
  community in a memory care ward for a while where we built
• 23:51
  sensory gardens. And that was big, but like not
• 23:54
  big enough. And honestly, you know, my my
• 23:58
  husband Chester was like, you know what, try it, do it.
• 24:02
  And when I ran it by my friends, they're like, try it.
• 24:05
  Like what's the worst that can happen?
• 24:06
  And giving up a job where you made a lot of money to commit to
• 24:10
  a job where you're not going to make a lot of money at all, but
• 24:13
  you're going to make a lot of difference and a lot of impact.
• 24:16
  Like was it really a sacrifice? I don't know.
• 24:19
  Yeah. Well.
• 24:21
  Having being I was I'm someone who started my life over at the
• 24:24
  age of 37 and I did all the I did all the right things.
• 24:29
  I was a 20 something. I pursued the career and got
• 24:33
  married and had the kid and bought the house and my kids 8
• 24:36
  almost 18. I love him.
• 24:37
  I'm so glad I did that. But I did the thing that you're
• 24:40
  just speaking into and at 37 years old, it all came crashing
• 24:43
  down because it wasn't purposeful.
• 24:46
  And so this this episode is for the givers, specifically for
• 24:50
  those of you who have a big heart, who have a big dream and
• 24:53
  know that you may have to compromise something financially
• 24:57
  in order to get there. And what I'm hearing you say,
• 24:59
  Sage, is that it's worth it. It's.
• 25:01
  Worth it. It's worth it every minute,
• 25:05
  every straight me, every, every extra dollar, like it's worth
• 25:09
  it. Just that, you know, having kids
• 25:13
  out to the farm, you know, we always, it's the turnip kids.
• 25:16
  This is my favorite story is, you know, if you're willing to
• 25:19
  give some and there's a little extra, like you'll never know
• 25:21
  what you get back. And so we had some children out
• 25:24
  from a local education organization come out to the
• 25:26
  farm and we're learning about planting.
• 25:28
  And so I gave them instructions to grab one handful of turnip
• 25:32
  seeds. And when you give toddlers the
• 25:35
  opportunity to grab one handful of turnip seeds, they grab 2 and
• 25:38
  put the other one in their pocket.
• 25:40
  Well, everywhere on the farm we had a, we had an irrigation pipe
• 25:45
  explode and it like ruined a section of turnips for us.
• 25:48
  But I'm not worried about it because I can actually see where
• 25:51
  all those little kids went all over the farm because their
• 25:55
  their little pockets were dropping turnips.
• 25:57
  And so growing by the bathrooms is a big patch of turnips, like
• 26:01
  growing in the walkways or turnips.
• 26:03
  And we had no loss on those this year because, you know, they
• 26:06
  took a little extra, but we got a lot back in return, even if it
• 26:10
  was so. That's amazing.
• 26:13
  Yeah, take from that what you can.
• 26:15
  That's right. That's right.
• 26:17
  So there is enough. There is creativity, there is
• 26:21
  community, there are women coming together in your location
• 26:26
  specifically to do what you can do.
• 26:29
  It's totally possible. And I believe that you are in
• 26:33
  the middle of it. You're 30, so there's so many
• 26:37
  years to go. When you're in the middle of it,
• 26:38
  you can't see it. But you are disrupting in a
• 26:41
  major way the future of food on the planet today.
• 26:44
  And I'm thank you. Thank you, it means a lot to me
• 26:47
  sometimes need a little cheering on.
• 26:50
  I'm here for it. I'm like the biggest
• 26:51
  cheerleader. Yeah, I.
• 26:53
  Really appreciate that. Yeah, so if you're, if you're
• 26:56
  listening to this, if you're watching this, please reach out
• 26:58
  to Sage. Please let her know that you are
• 27:00
  inspired by her and her story. Is there anything that you need
• 27:05
  from the community right now? What can people do to pitch in
• 27:07
  and support? Oh, man, you know, in the spirit
• 27:11
  of what this farm is all about, like if you can, you must.
• 27:15
  If you can give to your neighbor or, you know, there's someone in
• 27:18
  need or you have the time or the ability to do something for
• 27:22
  somebody else, do that. Especially as like there's still
• 27:26
  a lag on food accessibility. Like even if it's going to take
• 27:30
  a little extra time, it's going to mean the world to somebody
• 27:33
  else. Please do that.
• 27:35
  That's right. That's right.
• 27:37
  We need a whole lot less than than we think that we do most of
• 27:40
  the time. Absolutely.
• 27:42
  Yeah. All right.
• 27:43

• 28:34
  coffee and a sunrise, right? On a tractor while giving
• 28:38
  directions. It's all the vibes.
• 28:42
  Awesome crew that greet me with coffee in the morning when I get
• 28:45
