Collectively they have been advocating for agriculture online on various social media platforms for over 10 years. They have fostered a community of over 220k, spoken on stages across the nation and globe, and empowered a community to reconnect to the agriculture industry and the hands that feed us. Natalie shares her ranching and farming story online to show the beauty behind the Western lifestyle and to foster a community that supports and trusts in Agriculture. She and her husband (and their 3 boys) own and operate Kovarik Cattle Co, a cow calf operation with a growing registered herd where she spends a majority of her days collecting meaningful moments on the ranch bouncing around in a dusty old tractor or out in pasture on horseback. She has created an online community of over 115K, created an apparel line that gave back to ag foundations, spoken on ag stages, and hosted business retreats for the ag community. Tara is a 5th generation dairy farmer, an environmental scientist, and mom of two girls. Tara works as an environmental consultant, speaker, online agriculture advocate and podcaster.
