Episode 124 // Brandi Lahey of Cimarron Prairie Farms and The Tipsy Farmer

Written By Danna Larson

On this episode of the podcast we’re with Brandi Lahey of Cimarron Prairie Farms and The Tipsy Farmer in Moscow, Kansas (pop. 272). Brandi is sharing about the journey that’s taken her from being a nurse to a farmer’s wife and mom to now growing hops.

This has been quite an adventure, from learning about hops and how to grow them, to cold-calling breweries, to finding ways to diversify the uses for her crop. Plus, how she decided to turn the family camper into a mobile craft beer and cocktail bar.

She talks about the importance of mentorship and how that helped her get going, community over competition, and the big new project she’s working on.

Something that really stands out about Brandi is her perseverance and how she is constantly innovating. You’ll appreciate all the hard work she has put into these businesses and hearing about the success she is having with her hops and The Tipsy Farmer. Something tells us this is just the beginning for her!

I’ve had to take a lot of classes and teach myself a lot of things that I didn’t know with a nursing degree or as a mom.

Community over competition is so huge. There’s room at the table for everybody.

— Brandi Lahey

Rural America is about community. It’s about helping each other out and supporting each other. It’s just friends and neighbors helping each other. And you don’t get that in the big city.

— Brandi Lahey
