This weeks show is a little different. We’ve had a very long busy weekend and Misty needed a rest so I’m doing the show solo. I really wanted to do a tour of a beehive to show you what was inside but the weather this weekend was not cooperating. You normally want to work on beehives on sunny warm days. It was 75 out, but it had been raining all day so the bees would all be home and probably grumpy. So I suited up all the way and went out anyways and did a sound seeing tour as I walked though a hive. It’s not the most organized, but I think you’ll enjoy the sounds and the tour!

We’re back inside this week, it’s just too hot outside and after working outside most of the day in the hot kitchen it was nice to sit down in the cool living room and do a show. This week we look at what to do with all the extra honey we’re getting. Making Mead is something anyone can do at home, it’s not very expensive to get setup, a lot of fun, and the end product isn’t bad at all.

In the show this week:

• Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT. 3 calls, pickles, sheep, barbeque, and goat milk
• Round Up: Selling Patra, Rabbit Won 1st place, Bees, Garden
• Farm Section: Mead, just getting started

Links:

• Mead Made Easy
• Mead Intro
• Ken Shram, Very well regarded book

It must be the humidity out because this was one of our shortest podcasts. The calls to the farm phone are good, but making sauerkraut is so easy we don’t have to talk about it that much. If you’ve never made it before it really is something you should try. Remember to call the farm phone, 206-202-GOAT with your sauerkraut recipes! In this weeks show:

• A little bit a rough start
• Farm Phone: Two great calls! 206-202-GOAT
• Round Up: back with the numbers, and there’s a lot going on
• Farm Section: Homemade Sauerkraut
