From Amish Roots to Entrepreneurial Bloom: Amanda’s Journey of Faith, Farming & Freedom
Raised Amish on a 90-acre dairy farm, Amanda Yoder’s story is one of courage, faith, and unstoppable grit. 🌾 From baking bread at eight years old to driving across the country with only $2,000 and a dream, Amanda carved a new life for herself—one rooted in resilience and purpose. Today, she’s the founder of Amanda’s Berry Farm & Freeze-Dried Foods in Northwest Montana, a licensed massage therapist, and a passionate advocate for wellness and mentoring youth. In this inspiring conversation with host Angelina Rivera, Amanda shares how leaving the Amish community shaped her values, how she built multiple thriving businesses from the ground up, and why rest and reflection are just as essential as hard work. If you’ve ever felt called to pursue “something more,” this episode will remind you that clarity, faith, and persistence can cultivate the life you truly want. 🌸
