Moving their farm operation more than 1,400 miles — from Maryland to Waco, Texas, — was quite a challenge for fourth-generation farmer Taylor Huffman and her family. After settling onto their new farm, they battled everything from record-setting drought to brutal heat to an invasion of fire ants that decimated their pumpkin crop. But this year their annual fall festival at Western Belle Farms is ready to go, complete with a cannon designed for “pumpkin chunkin’.”
Grow Getters takes a lively look at creative ways farmers are plugging into their passions to diversify their operations and add a new source of revenue. These resourceful “grow getters” are redefining what it means to be a farmer and are here to inspire and guide anyone with a dream of their own. Mixing fascinating stories with lots of humor and even some music from host Davis Michaelsen, Grow Getters is truly an original in the world of Ag media.
