Meet John Deere’s Newest TikTok Storytellers
Meet the new TikTok storytellers who will partner with John Deere to tell their stories from the field, orchard and beyond!
From the farm straight to your For You Page, we’re making it easier (and way more fun) to connect with the people behind your food.
We’ve teamed up with three amazing creators who live and breathe agriculture—and they’re ready to show what farm life really looks like. Think apple orchards, pineapple fields, and row crops, all brought to life through authentic, personality-packed content that celebrates the folks who keep our plates full.
"We know there’s a growing curiosity about agriculture, but also a gap in understanding," said Jen Hartmann, global director, corporate reputation and brand marketing for John Deere. "These creators will bring fresh perspectives, relatable voices, and most of all, FUN, thumb-stopping content to the John Deere TikTok page to celebrate the incredible work of farmers."
Meet the creators:
- Kaitlyn (Kait) Thornton – @apple.girl.kait
Fourth-generation apple and pear farmer from Tonasket, WA. Kait’s content gives you a behind-the-scenes look at orchard life, from harvest hustle to family traditions that keep farms thriving. - Zach and Kyndle Erhard – @oakgrovefarms
First-generation farmers from Gallatin, TN. This husband-and-wife duo shares the ups and downs of running Oak Grove Farms, blending modern practices with family values for an honest take on sustainable farming. - Missy and Maddie Friestad – @centralsisters.il
The Central Sisters are from Kendall County, IL. These two sisters are redefining what it means to be women in ag with vibrant content about crop production, rural living, and the deep connection between farming and community.
