Description

On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Lauren Koster.

A city girl turned dairy farm life enthusiast, who never dreamed she'd find herself running a farm and homeschooling three kids. Lauren had never stepped foot on a dairy farm before meeting her now-husband, Eddy. Nearly 10 years later, they’re raising 60 cows, three kids, and a couple of pets, and finding humour in the chaos along the way.
