Boar Taint and Zip Ties

Q&A: You Ask and We Sorta Answer

This week The Chicken Lady and That Gay Farmer sit down to answer your questions. Of course they get sidetracked a bit along the way. Thank you everyone who sent us questions and if we missed yours this time we will get it in a future episode.

The Woody Chicken

As we begin to come out of quarantine Cody and Vanessa sit down to kibitz about whats happening on their farms these days. Hint, its chickens! The great Cornish Rock vs Freedom Ranger debate is resumed and Cody talks about his meat.

Rough Cut: Save a Steak, Eat a Brisket

Is there going to be a meat shortage? What cuts should I buy if my favorites aren’t in the case? Is it better to buy local? In this special episode Cody joins California cattle producers Dave Daly and Julie Morris along with grocer Chelsea Minor on a panel discussion to answer these questions and more about the California beef supply chain. They take an in-depth look at the effects COVID-19 has had on the cattle industry and what that means for all of us as consumers.

Question Everyone But Me

Cody and Vanessa call each other up and discuss how social distancing and sheltering in place has changed life on the farm. Vanessa shares her experience as a reluctant homeschool parent and Cody touches upon his new found love for The Tiger King.

Boar Taint and Zip Ties

Join us this week for a little distraction while social distancing as The Chicken Lady discuses how she came to farming and what all she is doing on her crazy one acre farm. Vanessa shares a few ideas on how everyone can grow food on minimal land or a patio. Cody shares his love of mending fences with zip ties and learns that boar taint is not the name of a seedy bar. Then he answers the listener question of the week about “the little hat” and why he wears it.  *note: due to COVID-19 and our states current Shelter in Place order we will be taking a break from recording. Stay safe, and wash your hands!
