Saratoga Springs (June 2026) – When most people think about farming, they probably don’t picture two engineers.
But that’s exactly where Cody and Kateri Sargen’s story begins.
This week on The Good Stuff, guest host Sara Kelly of A Practical Hug sat down with the founders of Aisling Farm to talk about the unexpected journey that led them from engineering careers to raising cashmere goats, hosting community events, and building a farm that has become a destination for families across the Capital Region.
Founded in 2019, Aisling Farm sits on land that has been in Cody’s family for more than 250 years. What started as a love of animals quickly grew into something much bigger. Today, the farm welcomes visitors of all ages and creates opportunities for people to connect with animals, nature, and each other.
Throughout the episode, Cody and Kateri share the realities of balancing careers, managing a farm, and building a life together. They talk about the importance of partnership, the challenges that come with caring for animals, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
The conversation also explores the farm’s connection to the community, including its support of local organizations like the Saratoga County Animal Shelter and the ways animals can bring people together.
At its heart, this episode is about building something meaningful. It’s a story of hard work, teamwork, and following an unexpected path that turned into a passion.
