Small towns can’t expect the next generation to come back if no one asks them to

Vickie Ference had friends who wished their hometowns had invited them back. For her, that invitation helped bring her home to Ord, where she’s now building two businesses and investing in the community that raised her.

Sometimes, giving young people a reason to return starts with simply asking them to.

Would you pay $17.95 for a gallon of milk? 🥛👀

That's what Mindy McGrew charges at Little Red Farm in Nebraska. And she's not apologizing for it.

What started with a few backyard chickens has grown into a business selling farm-raised food directly to families.

In the latest episode of Building Nebraska, Mindy talks about the price of milk, the realities of farming seven days a week, and what it actually takes to make a small farm financially sustainable.

Because loving what you do is one thing. Making a living doing it is another.

And Mindy isn't afraid to talk about both.

🎙️ Hear her story in the latest episode of Building Nebraska, powered by the Engler Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
