0139 Farmers on vacation, spring time work list and a small farm in the news
Back from vacation in Florida, Farmer And puts his pants back on and sits down to talk with Farmer Kelli about the long list of springtime tasks ahead. We refer to our community and how great almost all our listeners are... and how cool it is to watch them smack down the weeds that crop up! Still waiting for the snow to melt we talk a little about beekeeping and a local supplier we came up with for our frames, gear and starter hive (Nuc). In the Community we share our thoughts on a small farm in NY that has been in the news for some not so positive reasons. We also talk about how changing the food system is achievable when you vote with your wallet.
