Geek.Farm.Life

This has been a long week, and Misty twisted her ankle so we’re doing the podcast from the ground floor this week. This means the barn will sound a little different than normal, but hopefully it works out. We also changed the format a bit, there’s so much going on we thought we just expand the round up to give you a taste of life on a small farm in the spring.

So in this weeks show:

• Misty’s ankle
• Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT
• Butchering, and egg laying
• Round Up: Too much to list

We love you feedback, so please call the farm phone at 206-202-GOAT or please send us an email at gfl@geekfarmlife.com or leave a comment!
