Description

This week on The Workhorse Podcast, we’re handing the mic to the next generation—literally! Jessica and Kendall are joined by Jagger, Kendall’s (almost) 18-year-old stepson, for a heartfelt and hilarious look at what it’s really like growing up on a working farm.

From his earliest memories helping build the Central Park Farms sign, to his first job cleaning farrowing pens, Jagger shares what he’s learned, what he loves, and what he’d do differently if he were in charge tomorrow. We talk nap schedules, excavator dreams, tractor crashes, and launching his own business.

Whether you’re a farm mama wondering what legacy your kids are absorbing or you're dreaming of starting your own family business, this episode will give you the laughs, insight, and inspiration you didn’t know you needed.

To round it out, Jessica’s own two boys hop on the mic to share what farm life means to them—freedom, egg stands, and a future full of silver coins and pickles.

Key Takeaways:

  • What it’s really like growing up with entrepreneurial farm moms
  • Jagger’s journey from pig pen duty to running weekend farm ops
  • Behind the scenes of launching his own brand: Jagger’s Jerky
  • Balancing teen life, school, and butcher shop responsibilities
  • The generational pride and weight of keeping the legacy alive
  • Bonus: A peek into the Garza kids’ egg stand and pickle business dreams
