Showcasing Iowa agriculture and family-friendly food recipes from my Iowa kitchen. Iowa Farm Mama takes you on a video journey of daily mom life in rural America across the Midwest, as a proud Midwest travel influencer.

As an ag content creator and farmer, I spend my days driving tractors, running farm equipment, and watching crops grow. I know my way around a hog barn, too — I could probably rattle off equipment names all day. But beyond the fields, my greatest joy is my kitchen.

Cooking is where my heart shines, especially when my kids come home. There's something special about preparing a meal for my family, pulling together a dish for a holiday gathering, or packing up something quick for the guys in the field during harvest. And I can't forget baking something sweet for family and friends along the way. I feel lucky to have the gift of cooking and baking, and I love using fresh, wholesome ingredients grown by local farmers. Iowa agriculture plays a vital role in our everyday meals, and I'm here to show you how farm-raised products bring recipes to life.

Whether you're looking for dinner inspiration or just curious how Iowa farmers turn agriculture into delicious meals, you've come to the right place. Cooking at home doesn't have to be fancy — but trust me, it's better for you. Iowa Farm Mama is here to share easy, mouth-watering family recipes you can enjoy at your own table. My kids even nominate their favorite meals for me to share with you, so you can try some Iowa favorites in your own kitchen too.

If you're looking to spice up your recipe collection — or just give cooking and baking a fresh chance — my recipes will help you fall in love with your kitchen all over again. Explore the joy of cooking with farm-fresh ingredients, right here with Iowa Farm Mama's recipes.

Farming family ground with my brother, Vinny. We are honored to plant corn and soybeans as 7th generation farmers in Southeast Iowa.

The Midwest

Some call Iowa a "flyover state." While my high school classmates couldn't wait to leave, I never wanted to be anywhere else. As a Midwest travel influencer, I love uncovering hidden gems in small Iowa communities, hitting the road for a good day trip, and yes — hunting down the best pie in town. (Seriously, pie is an anytime-of-day food in my book.)

You might find me at a farmers market, a farm show, a small-town business, or a local restaurant — or exploring historical places worth visiting along the way. There's so much to see and experience in the heartland.

I've called this countryside home my entire life, and it's full of family stories and memories I wouldn't trade for anywhere else.

Come along as we explore family, agriculture, and Midwest travel together.
