Description

Today we welcome Derrick Josi onto the R2Kast! πŸŽ™οΈ


Better known online as The Honest Farmer, Derrick brings 1 million+ followers into the realities of US dairy life β€” and he’s not holding back! From Oregon’s lush Tillamook to a 450-acre Jersey dairy, Derrick shares his family legacy (started in 1918) and how the farm evolved from 60 cows to nearly 1000. He chats co-op models, cheese markets, mental health, family dynamics, and the not-so-glamorous side of influencer life. πŸ§€πŸ“‰


We dive into the generational shift in work mentality (130 hours a week isn’t the flex it used to be) and how vacations are becoming a priority again. Derrick’s storytelling is real, relatable, and raw β€” just like his content. πŸ› οΈπŸ’¬


Enjoy! 😊
