Be as long as you like, call back if you’re cut off after 5 minutes.

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
