Farm Girls Unfiltered: Adult Friendships, Feral Children and Coffee Pot Confessions

About this episode

Arlene and Caite discuss post-Easter farm life and welcome guests to talk about rural friendships and parenting.

Arlene and Caite recap post-Easter farm life—wrapping an easy lambing season, prepping for fieldwork, and navigating spring weather, a sump pump issue, and water system quirks. They share family updates, including a new driver and college acceptance, then welcome Annaliese and Court from the “Ag's Most Okayest Farm Girls” podcast. Together, they chat about rural life across Wisconsin and Iowa/Canada, building friendships (online and off), parenting through social dynamics, small-town culture, and a few lighthearted rants—ending with county fair goals and where to connect online.
