This week on Dirt Diaries, we’re joined by filmmaker, educator, entrepreneur, and storyteller Rupa Mehta. While Rupa didn’t grow up in agriculture, she’s become one of its most passionate advocates through powerful storytelling that shines a light on the people behind our food system. From founding a fitness studio and nonprofit focused on emotional wellness to producing the award-winning film Silo and the new television series Perfect Sundays, Rupa shares how her journey has evolved into creating stories that address some of agriculture’s biggest challenges—including farm safety, mental health, and the invisible burdens carried by farming families. In this episode, we dive into the importance of emotional resilience, why storytelling can create real change, the lessons she learned from her parents, balancing creativity and entrepreneurship, and how listening may be one of the greatest gifts we can offer one another. Whether you’re connected to agriculture or simply looking for inspiration, this conversation is one that will stay with you long after it ends. Let’s get dirty with Rupa!
