Oke Farm Pondcast Ep. 13 | They Left California for a Different Way of Life

Episode 13 of the Oke Farm Pondcast follows the remarkable journey of Ryan and Natasha, who left Southern California to become part of The Farm at Okefenokee after discovering its vision online. In this episode, they share how a single podcast episode inspired them to fly across the country for a Farm-to-Table dinner, why that first visit convinced them this was the place they wanted to call home, and what it was like to leave behind a successful wellness business to embrace a more intentional way of living. The conversation explores the connection between personal wellness and the natural world, the surprising benefits of slowing down, and why community may be one of the most overlooked ingredients in living a healthy life. From evenings spent picking blackberries and feeding pigs to neighbors sharing sourdough, homemade salsa, and gardening advice, Ryan and Natasha reflect on how life at The Farm has exceeded even their highest expectations. At its heart, this episode is about something increasingly rare in today's world: finding a place where health, purpose, community, and nature all work together.
