What does it take to turn four acres of grass into a thriving goat dairy, a popsicle business with 40+ flavors, and a model for resilient small farming?
In this episode of One Bite is Everything, Dana sits down with Stacey Roussel of All We Need Farm in Texas. Stacey shares her unlikely path from accountant to farmer, beginning with Houston’s Urban Harvest community gardens and leading to a bustling farm where goats, popsicles, caramel, and community all come together.
You’ll hear:
- How a family moment sparked the idea for goat milk popsicles 🍦
- The role of holistic management, mentorship, and business planning in her growth
- Why goat genetics and herd improvement programs matter more than you think
- The challenges of farmers’ markets—and why wholesale has become a better fit
- How a For Farmers grant helped her invest in new technology for breeding
Stacey’s story is a powerful reminder that small farmers aren’t just producing food—they’re innovating, adapting, and strengthening the communities around them.
