Katie Nash is a Farmer at Coonabarabran with her husband, Co-founder of FOALS, and the woman behind First Time Farmer. Katie has built a following online by documenting her journey from city girl to full-time farmer and bridging the gap between city and country by sharing candid insights into farm life.

In this episode, Katie opens up about how it felt to move from Darwin to Coonabarabran to farm during the midst of a drought. She shares how those experiences led to the creation of First Time Farmer, how she navigated becoming a farming influencer following the unexpectedly massive online response to her content, and how she hopes FOALS can amplify the voices of rural Australians to shine a spotlight on critical issues faced by farming communities around Australia.
