From NBA to Farming: Marcus Landry’s Life-Changing Journey at Beulah Farm

What happens when a former NBA player trades the hardwood for the homestead? Welcome to Beulah Family Homestead, where Marcus Landry is rewriting the narrative of what farming looks like — and who it's for. In this episode of Wisconsin Foodie, we follow Marcus as he introduces kids from the city to life on the farm, from wrangling goats and feeding chickens to sharing brats made from pigs they helped raise. This is more than just a farm; it’s a sanctuary for healing, learning, and transformation. With no previous background in agriculture, Marcus is proving that passion, purpose, and mentorship can sow seeds for real change. Watch how Beulah Farm is bridging generational gaps, teaching life skills, and redefining what it means to be a farmer in Wisconsin today. 00:00 – Marcus Landry’s transition from pro basketball to farming 01:15 – Why Beulah Farm was created: healing and giving back 02:20 – Kids from VCA and their farm-to-table experience 03:30 – Teaching responsibility and leadership through chores 05:00 – Wrangling goats and hands-on animal care 06:45 – Life lessons from farming and youth mentorship 08:30 – The importance of representation in agriculture 10:15 – Bridging city life and farm life with real-world skills 12:00 – A deep family connection to farming, rediscovered 14:00 – Cooking lunch: brats raised on the farm 16:15 – Why food, farming, and community are deeply connected 18:00 – Marcus’s international basketball journey and food stories 20:00 – Reflecting on the day and the impact of Beulah Farm Beulah Family Homestead – https://beulahfamily.com/ Wisconsin Foodie Website – https://wisconsinfoodie.com Driftless Cafe (Chef Luke Zahm) – https://driftlesscafe.com Hometown Sausage Co. – https://hometownsausage.com
