After Yeh and her husband Nick Hagen moved to his family farm outside East Grand Forks near the North Dakota/Minnesota border in 2013, Yeh began devoting more time to her food blog, which included personal stories about her life on the farm.

Yeh began hosting her cooking show Girl Meets Farm on Food Network which debuted on June 24, 2018. [5] [19] The series is recorded at Yeh's farm and features Midwestern cuisine as well as elements from her Chinese and Jewish heritage.

In 2022, Yeh opened Bernie's, a café restaurant in East Grand Forks, Minnesota specializing in Midwestern dishes with Scandinavian and Jewish influences. [22] [23]
In 2014, Yeh married fellow Juilliard music major Nick Hagen a year after the couple moved to East Grand Forks, Minnesota where Hagen is a fifth-generation farmer. [3] [18] [6] [16]
In November 2018, Yeh announced that she and her husband were expecting their first child. On March 30, 2019, Yeh gave birth to a daughter, Bernadette Rosemary Yeh Hagen, named after her husband's great-great-grandfather Bernt (who started the Hagen farm) and her own great-great-grandfather, Bernard. [24] In September 2021, Yeh announced she and her husband were expecting their second child in February 2022. [25] Their second daughter, Ira Dorothy Yeh Hagen, was born on February 20, 2022. [26] Ira's name was suggested by Jamie, the director of photography for Girl Meets Farm. [27]
