In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we sit down with Kyle and Sara Nelson, the dynamic husband-and-wife team behind Little Rustic Farm in Boaz, Alabama. First-generation Texas Longhorn breeders, the Nelsons share how their passion for rural living and animals turned a 20-acre slice of land into a thriving family farm.
With a herd of Texas Longhorns, German Shorthair Pointers, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, pigs, chickens—and three energetic kids—the Nelsons’ days are full, rewarding, and rooted in their love for agriculture. You’ll hear the charming story behind their farm’s name, inspired by old county roads, a 1960s farmhouse, and the rustic charm that makes their land unique.
They also dive into their highly popular Farm Parties—kid-focused birthday events that give families the chance to meet farm animals up close for the first time. Tune in to hear how the Nelsons are building a legacy from the ground up and using their farm to educate and inspire the next generation.
