What do blue jeans, baseballs, and beer have in common?  Besides being American staples, they are all products of the hard work and dedication of agriculturalists. And by consuming these products, you’re feeding the dreams of these agriculturalists. 

Welcome back to Feedin’ Dreams, a podcast dedicated to showing you where your food comes from by introducing you to the people growing it.

We hope you enjoyed last episode as we explored how eating beef fed the dreams of Reese Chambers, a cattle rancher from southeast Idaho.

Raisin’ Cattle & Kids

In Episode 2, Raisin’ Cattle & Kids, we plow into how eating beef is feedin’ the dreams of Reese’s three children, six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and many others.

For years, we have that beef is what’s for dinner. However, for the Chambers family, beef is so much more. Beef laid the foundation for and continues to shape each Chambers into the individual they are, today.

Now that you more about how Reese acquired the Diamond Bar, Episode 2 digs into what life on the ranch was like for Reese and his family. We’ll cover the victories and struggles that come with raising cattle in the mountains of Idaho. Reese’s family will provide first-hand accounts of what it was like to grow up on the Diamond Bar. They will talk about their responsibilities, experiences working with Reese, and how that lifestyle impacted the.

Brace yourself for a dramatic plot twist that could alter the course of the Chambers family for good. Hear about how Reese responded and the consequences of his decision. At the end of the episode, Amber even lets you in on a secret you won’t want to miss.

Feedin’ Dreams

Welcome to Feedin’ Dreams! Learn where your food comes from as we introduce you the people growing it. And you’ll soon understand how wearing cotton, drinking milk, and eating your steak and potatoes is feeding the dreams of American Agriculturalists.

I hope you’re ready to get your hands dirty. Because we dig up what’s planted the passion for agriculture in the hearts of farmers and ranchers. Then we plow into how lives rooted in agriculture have been cultivated. Finally, we explore what agriculturalists harvest due to perseverance through the hardships that come with pursuing dreams in the agriculture industry.

Homestead Heartache to Homerun

Join us for Episode 1, Homestead Heartache to Homerun. You’ll learn that by eating beef, you’re feeding the dreams of American Cattle Rancher, U.S. Navy Veteran, and Great-Grandfather Andrew Reese Chambers. Reese’s story begins on a humble homestead in Jackson Hole Wyoming. The episode follows Reese from the homestead through sacrifice and service. Throughout the episode, Reese’s family describles his outlook, character, and true passion for cattle ranching. Hear about his time at college, his entrepreneurial endeavors while in the navy, how he raised his six siblings, his tractor selling days, flying all across the country, and everything in between. Then follow Reese through his pursuit and acquisition of his dream cattle ranch. Most importantly, learn who Reese was and what he stood for.

By the end of this episode, we hope you know where that juicy steak or greasy cheeseburger comes from. And we hope you know more about the kind of people producing them.
