This special Thanksgiving episode features Tork and Sawyer Whisler, the father–son duo behind BarnTalk, This’ll Do Farm, and a massive online following that continues to grow year after year. Tork is a 5th-generation Iowa farmer who returned to hog production after time in construction and sales, and Sawyer is a 6th-generation farmer who jumped straight into farming full-time after high school. Together, they run a transparent hog and row-crop operation centered around their brand promise: “Show people where their food comes from.”We talk about the journey behind BarnTalk, how their follower count has doubled (or tripled) since we last recorded together, and what changes they’ve made in how they film, tell stories, and build community online. They share the mission behind Farmer Grade, the direct-to-consumer meat company sourcing from creators like Sonne Farms, Lightning Cattle Co., Hilbert Farms, Peterson Farm Bros, and others — bringing high-quality protein with a story straight to consumers.Then we dive into the fun stuff:• A Thanksgiving snake draft of must-have foods• Their most non-traditional Thanksgiving dishes• A holiday lightning round covering turkey vs ham, favorite sides, who’s most likely to fall asleep after dinner, favorite holiday movies, family traditions, gifts, and plenty moreWe also explore deeper topics — what fame has taught them about success, what they choose not to share online, childhood stories from the farm, and how Sawyer pushed through the moments he questioned his path.A high-energy mix of storytelling, humor, transparency, and farm-family holiday chaos — just the way Thanksgiving should be.
