Farmstrong’s become a name a lot of farmers know and trust and for good reason. Last year alone, more than 20,000 farmers and growers around New Zealand said Farmstrong helped improve their wellbeing.

In this episode of the Being Farmstrong podcast, host Hamish McKay sits down with the man behind the movement, Farmstrong CEO Gerard Vaughan, to talk about how it all started and where Farmstrong’s heading next. You’ll also hear from Canterbury farmer and Farmstrong Champion Geoff Spark, who shares his own story of resilience, why gratitude matters on farm, why making mental skills a part of your day is just as important as being physically active, and how any one of us can be the one to kick off a conversation.
