In this episode of the Rooted in Resilience podcast, Ash & Sarah return after a few months off with updates on their lives, business ventures, and what's next. They discuss life transitions, including Sarah’s path toward starting a family and possibly buying a house, and reflect on their journey building Nourish Food Club and running Angel Acres. From the realities of homesteading and animal care to the dream of creating a family compound, they share the highs, lows, and everything in between. The sisters also open up about redefining what “functional” and “funny” farming means to them, the challenges of running a farm as a startup, and why they’re bringing more personal stories into this next season.
