Acerca de So You Wannabe a Farmer

Two friends, one farm dream. Wendy packed up her suburban Maryland home, two kids, two cats, and a dog and moved to a farm in rural North Carolina. Melissa, who's still back in Maryland, lives the farm life vicariously through Wendy while tending to her ever-expanding backyard garden. They catch up each week to discuss the latest adventures on her farm, Chutzpah Hollow, with occasional updates from Melissa's tiny oasis in the 'burbs.Why are we here? When Wendy decided to take that enormous leap to fulfill her dream of buying a farm, I wanted to make sure I could follow along every step of the way. This podcast is my opportunity to tag along while helping her document the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens.We are friends, working professionals, Jewish mothers, and total noobs. Neither of us have any experience farming or homesteading. We’re just two gals who love the natural world, and who seek a healthy and meaningful life for ourselves and our families. Some of you brave risk-takers will relate to Wendy. Others, like me, will listen from the sidelines and continue to fantasize about starting our own farm someday while growing whatever we can in our backyards, and trying our hands at living the homestead life in the ‘burbs. We hope you’ll join us on this adventure, either from the sidelines or while getting your own hands dirty.

48 Seconds Closer to Spring

Winter is an uncertain time on the farm. Hungry predators find their way onto the property, rain forces sheep and pigs to seek shelter in the usual spots, and the goats - who despise rain - pile together under the eaves and on the front porch of the house. Garden planning is in full swing, regardless of whether those plans will actually be followed! Plus, frickin' chickens, a new rooster, the imminent arrival of baby goats and more... All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoying the podcast, please rate and review on Apple Podcasts.

Homesteading is a Mindset

Surprise and Happy Holidays! A little treat from Melissa and Wendy along with apologies for seemingly sneaking off under the cover of darkness without a word of warning or a decent goodbye. (We call that the Spence Sneak-off.) Enjoy the update! All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening!

Shade Cloth Hurts My Heart

Summer is in full swing. Wendy and Melissa contemplate the viability of garden vision glasses to help in identifying green vegetables on green plants. Brea, the beloved Barbados black belly sheep, is pregnant and the jury is still out on two of her closest pals, Torn Ear and No Tag (no, really, those are their names). Unlike in the big city, drunk dialing on a farm leads to another unexpected delivery of chicks leading Melissa to consider installing a Breathalizer on Wendy's phone to prevent future episodes. And that's only one half the story! All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoying the podcast, please rate and review on Apple Podcasts.

When you Give a Sheep a Haircut

June means the end of the school year, graduation, the summer solstice, the time when gardens take off, animals are busy eating the abundant greenery, sheep get sheared, s'mores are made and consumed, harvesting begins, and we get outside as much as possible. Melissa and Wendy share details of their individual domains and ponder aspects of kashrut, or the Jewish laws governing food consumption. It should be very obvious that the hosts have no idea what they are talking about and any information on the topic should be doubled, if not triple-checked for accuracy. Now on to the show! All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoying the podcast, please rate and review on Apple Podcasts.
