Shade Cloth Hurts My Heart

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!

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.
