Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!
We are winding our way through the week here on Ranch Raised!
Did you miss my culinary secret weapon yesterday? You can head on over to the Your Ag Network App or Website and of course the Ranch Raised Facebook page to find the strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe that I shared with all of you. You just may be surprised by an old trick my grandma taught me.
I do love sharing my recipes with all of you and last week I got a total paycheck to my heart. My great aunt Soni out in Emmett, ID called to tell me that her and her farming & ranching neighbors listen to Ranch Raised. Get this this, one day they were listening while having a little neighborhood seed starting party. See, my kind of people!
Anyway, Aunt Soni was calling to tell me that she was making my Buckaroo Brownies to take to a neighborhood branding that week! I can’t wait to hear how those brownies went over and a shoutout to all my listeners out in Idaho!
So, if you have a Ranch Raised recipe that you have tried, let me know. I love to share some joy over a culinary creation that was inspired right here.
Speaking of culinary inspiration, we just got some really fun mail. Our oldest daughter who homeschools will be doing World Geography next year as a sophomore, so we decided to order recipe books from all of the continents. They arrived yesterday and let me tell you, now we are all excited to have her doing this curriculum and we can’t wait to eat our way around the world. And honestly, I don’t mind sharing meal duties around here on bit!
Food really does create connections no matter where you live. I am so happy to connect with you over a few of my recipes!
Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 4 children near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion.
Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her current role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA.
You can hear her almost every Friday on Your Ag Network’s Hot Barn Report, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and industry reforms. Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the Jones Ranch.
Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
