About the Hosts
Jeff
Podcast Host
Jeff has been with Meyer Hatchery for nearly 10 years, but his poultry experience spans multiple decades. Keeping and showing all sorts of birds was a family affair for Jeff, wife, and his 5 kids, as they traveled around to midwest poultry events. His many years of experience have earned Jeff the status of semi-retired as he now enjoys traveling, ocean activities, and visiting his family.

Linda is a mother to 3 lovely adult children and recently welcomed a chicken-loving daughter-in-law into the family, a beautiful, floppy-eared dog, chickens, ducks, guineas and turkeys. She enjoys learning about regenerative agriculture and is fascinated as she learns more about soil science. She also enjoys a seemingly always expanding garden and making great use of soiled coop bedding in the garden or compost bins. She has been with Meyer Hatchery for nearly 6 years and loves her job.
