Hey guys, we’ve had a very busy weekend getting ready to travel, getting the garden started, etc. It’s a bit to late to start the podcast, so we’re going to do it tomorrow night. Thanks for all the wonderful calls this week! We will have two successful shows while we are gone. If you haven’t called yet do so now at 206-202-GOAT.

-Andrew

We need you to call the farm phone, 206-202-GOAT. With your help we can make two great shows while we’re out of town, we’re looking for calls on anything you want, and if you need ideas, why not tell us about the garden you are planning this year? What do you do that no one else does? What works for you?

This weeks show we have a good round up section. There’s a lot starting up around the farm there days! We have updates on the goat kids, seeds, planting, etc.
