What inspired Riley Boschma to start Boschma Farms?
Sometimes the darkness does win or triumph, but it also puts us in a place of challenge, but of testing our resilience.
I know a lot of people have lost, you know, and gone through grief and you know how that really impacts you and your feeling of what is life about. But I knew I had to show my kids the impact of truly living. Mm-hmm. and even in the pain. So we at Boshma Farms have a slogan that is cultivating a legacy. And so part of that legacy is being able to overcome and be resilient. Riley Boshma is a single mom of five, rancher, haybroker, and founder of Boshma Farms, a Southern California-based business delivering clean, local beef direct to families. Through grit and grace, Riley is redefining leadership in agriculture and proving that even in the darkest seasons, something beautiful can still be built. We are cultivating a legacy, and we are continuing to keep generational ranching and farming alive where it is a dying breed.
I'm actually going to give you guys a story that I've never told anyone else, and it's one that's... It spans the globe like a super high school internet.

That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago was the lead. You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream.
Welcome to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition. For Insight Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is Riley Bashma from Bashma Farms. Yes. It sounds like a planet from Star Wars from the Outer Rim. We're going to talk about two of my favorite things, which is faith and furries, the two Fs. Where do we start? Let's just get into it. Let's start with an amazing intro. Who are you? What the heck are you doing here?
My name is Riley, like you said, and I am the owner of a beef company that sells beef direct to consumers. So you can buy your meat directly from my farm and it goes straight farm to table.
How does Boschma Farms ensure high-quality beef production?
We are in Southern California in the Chino area. Okay. And yeah, we are cultivating a legacy and we are continuing to keep generational ranching and farming alive where it is a dying breed.
Yeah, I was gonna say quite the livestock. Lauren and I actually share a colleague that has a cattle farm in Michigan, the Packards. So we're very familiar, but they milk their cattle. They don't chop them up and eat them.
I came from milking. Actually, my family were dairy farmers. But over the years, as my husband and I grew our farming and our stuff, we were just more into the beef cattle. So that's kind of how we came to be.
Talk about the mysticism of you are what you eat, where it's like I'm pursuing your cattle are fed specific foods or treated well. Yeah.
So ours are very nutritionally dense beef and it's amazing. So our cattle do graze, but we also supplement them because where we're at in Southern California, we don't have thousands of acres of pasture land, but I do have pasture land. So we raise our cattle on pasture, but we also supplement them and we supplement them in a really cool way. So they get grass, hay, and then we also feed produce. So the produce really helps the nutritional quality of the meat. And then we do finish with grain because that is where you're going to get your flavor and your marbling. So it is the perfect blend and our meat is well known for its flavor and its cleanliness. You can tell the difference when you're eating Boschma beef.
Wow. I love it again. Boschma beef. Yes. Talk about the Boschma name. Where does that name come from?
Yeah.
What personal challenges has Riley faced in her journey?
So my husband's passed away. He passed away to mental health. We lost him to suicide a year and a half ago. But his grandfather actually has a really cool story. He came here from Holland and he was a Golden Gloves winner in New York. And that's how he paid for his dairy farm. So and when he was in Holland, my husband told stories about how his grandfather during the Nazis and all that, he would sell eggs off of his family ranch to keep his mother and his siblings safe.
