Meet Misty and Jamie of J&M’s Hodge Podge Ranch in Kansas! Their little ranch is home to a wonderful mix of animals, including Highland cattle, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs, and emus. What started with a love of Highland cows has grown into a place where people can connect with animals, learn about farm life, and make special memories.
We talk about the importance of helping children understand where their food comes from, the joy of introducing kids to farm animals, and why caring for animals takes time, patience, and commitment.
You’ll also meet Wheelie Nelson, an adorable disabled goat who has captured hearts with his wheelchair and sweet personality. Misty and Jamie share the realities of caring for Wheelie and their hopes of bringing smiles to children who could use some extra encouragement.
Join us for a fun, heartwarming conversation about animals, education, and the rewards of opening your heart and your farm to others.
