It’s a big call to leave the familiar comforts of life in the city for the wide-open spaces of farm life. Even tougher to make the move in the middle of crippling drought. It was harder than Kaitie Nash thought. Much harder. And that took a toll on her mental health. Social media became a way to connect and build an online community. She’s also since improved her farm skills too! First Time Farmer, Kaitie Nash joins me to discuss:

• Kaitie’s favourite place on the farm.
• As a city girl, she shares how she ended up in country NSW.
• The expectations versus the harsh realities of life on the land.
• Kaitie shares her journey with mental health and how she coped during challenging times.
• Social media became a safe space and an outlet for her.
• Her content shares the realities of farm life, but it’s also very entertaining and brings her so much joy.
• Now, Kaitie loves supporting other first-time farmers and “finding a way to have a laugh.”
• A common misconception about life on the land.
• What Kaitie loves most about this lifestyle.
• The most unexpected thing to happen.
• Kaitie’s ultimate dream for the future.

We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.
