About Us

Go Find a Farmer started when...

During Covid, Derrick had an idea to help the people in his community find good family farms they could buy directly from in the middle of all the disruptions. A couple of years later, he found a friend passionate about the same types of ideas when Joel came to film a short documentary for a video series on family farms he was creating for a cattle equipment manufacturer. Unfortunately for both of their wives, they hit it off right away and became fast friends. The two collaborated on a few other projects for some national brands, and after a phone call one day, they decided to try something.
They joined forces in 2024 to start Go Find a Farmer, and now the four of them spend too much time thinking of how to help family farms thrive, and ways to educate the public on how buying directly from farms results in better food for their families.
THE JOSI FAMILY

Derrick + Kaycee

Derrick Josi, better known on social media as TDF Honest Farming, is a fourth-generation dairy farmer in Tillamook, Oregon. He's passionate about being a sane voice for agriculture in a time that seems like the more sensational you can be, the more money people give you. He's never been one to shy away from showing what life is like on a dairy, and works hard to give an honest, unfiltered look at farming from his perspective. He and Kaycee, together with Derrick’s parents, are working hard to be great stewards of the land and their family legacy, while advocating for agriculture wherever they can.
THE SCHAAP FAMILY

Joel + Sheri

Joel didn't have the chance to grow up on a farm like both of his parents – his dad grew up a hog farmer in rural Iowa, and his mom was raised on a dairy in El Cajon, CA – but made his way into agriculture by starting a primarily Ag-focused marketing business with his wife, Sheri. Their small business has been blessed to help saddle companies, cattle feeding manufacturers, horse farriers, and many more get the word out about their products and services.
