About this listen

This podcast is a daily account of all the things that went wrong in a single day on Riggin Farm. We will also share the wins we had as well, because farming is not all doom & gloom despite it feeling that way sometimes. It is meant to be entertaining, but also educational at times. Starting a first-generation regenerative farm on a shoestring budget is not an easy task, and we want to share our experiences to help others who may be considering starting a farm or homestead, are already in the middle of it, or people who got out of farm life (or homestead life) after too many days like ours.

    Welcome to "What Went Wrong on the Farm Today?" the daily(ish) chaos report from a real working farm where everything is beautiful… and also somehow always on fire (sometimes metaphorically, sometimes almost literally). Each episode is a quick, honest, and occasionally ridiculous recap of the curveballs that come with raising animals, growing food, and keeping a farm (and your sanity) running. Expect farm mishaps, hard lessons, tiny wins, and a whole lot of “how is this real life?”

    Episode 16 - When Farmers Get Sick...

    Guess who got sick. That's right! Find out what we did despite Nick not feeling well. Also, we ask the question, "Do you like this daily format, or would you prefer a weekly/biweekly video that highlights what went wrong the last few days?"
