🎙️ The Ultimate Farm Wife – Season 9, Episode 1

Guest: Bridgitte Brooks – Founder of Homestead Road

We’re kicking off Season 9 with an inspiring conversation with Bridgitte Brooks, fifth-generation wool producer and founder of Homestead Road.

Homestead Road is more than a clothing brand—it’s a movement to educate, connect and celebrate rural women through timeless, versatile, and sustainable Australian merino wool pieces.

As a mum of four, Bridgitte knows firsthand how clothing impacts the way women feel when their bodies and identities shift through motherhood. She saw a gap in the merino activewear market—where choices were either overly technical or too plain—and set out to create something different.

Now, Homestead Road offers effortless, modern athleisure designs that move with women through every season of life—whether that’s working on the farm, running errands, or heading out for the evening. These garments reflect the reality of being a busy, multitasking rural woman: strong, stylish, and always on the go.

💡 In this episode, Bridgitte shares:

• Her journey from fifth-generation wool producer to fashion founder
• The role clothing plays in confidence, identity, and empowerment for rural women
• How she’s bridging the gap between sustainability, quality, and everyday practicality
• What makes merino wool such an incredible fibre for modern living
