0146 Gardening, pig, chicken and beekeeping updates from the farm
This episode sorta wanders all over in terms of updates. Farmer Andy started a new way of eating and by cutting sugar out of his diet he's found a whole new way to live life. We discuss some of our favorite wines (from boxes) and other cocktails... then we move into the farm updates. We talk about the chickens (broilers and layers), a exciting night with a critter in the coop, the pig getting ready to farrow, the greenhouse, beekeeping and more. It's a lot of updates - but we have a log of farming activites to update you about!
