Building Local Community Connections with Josie Tchir

The Rural Woman Podcast

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

Josie is a homeschool mama, farmwife, rancher, entrepreneur and business owner. Along with her husband Jared, she owns and operates Fellowship Farms, a direct-to-consumer meat business in Strathcona County, Alberta. She has a passion for good food and fellowship around the dinner table, and strives to bring local families great experiences around their own table.

Josie and her husband are navigating a farm transition and succession plan from the cattle ranch, where Jared’s Dad is slowing down. They are focused on bringing in new ideas and modernization while continuing to be rooted in regenerative and sustainable farming practices raising grass-fed and finished beef and pastured pork.
