Behind the Scenes of Ranch Mom Life & Ag Homeschooling with Lindsey Huseman

“That is something that I absolutely love about where we’re living and our neighbors is just everybody helping out and you know you always have somebody that you can call.” In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Lindsey Huseman. Lindsey and her husband, Mark, manage Huseman Ranch with the help of their two kids ages 7 and 9. Lindsey explained what it's like for her to homeschool her kids and be active on the farm. It was quite the shift for Lindsey to go from being a high school Ag teacher to a farm mom homeschooling her kiddos during the pandemic. Lindsey also shared some stories from the farm and how having such a supportive village has impacted her and her family.
