What a great romp through all sorts of subjects this week. We have a great set of phone calls to the farm phone, then we look into some bigger topics. We take a look at how our thoughts towards organic have changed over the time we’ve moved here. Give us a call at 206-202-GOAT and let us know your thoughts!

You’ll have to listen to find out what the tittle is all about (Grand Champion with a ribbon to boot). We have a great show this week, the farm phone, 206-202-GOAT, was ringing like crazy with great calls. We talk about the wheel hoe in the farm section, it’s a great tool that we’ve used for a few weeks so you can hear our review and thoughts.
Enjoy!
This weeks show has a wonderful set calls! We go over questions ranging from kidding, to cheese, to gardens. Matt from Iowa, Linda from chicago, Warren from West Virginia, and Kirsten all check in with wonderful tales, stories and questions! Call the farm phone with your stories about wild pickings, what berries and mushrooms are ready in your area? 206-202-GOAT.
Also enjoy the video from Linda’s urban garden! What a treat this week.
This weeks show has a farm section from in the city! What could be more cool than that? We also don’t have any farm phone calls. Coincidence?? Maybe not? This weeks show is packed full of great topics, from the massacre of 2008, garden replanting, bush beans, raised bed, chickens in the city, and raised beds.
Make sure to call the farm phone 206-202-GOAT!

I hope you enjoy this weeks show. It’s a bit different, Heather from the Wiggly Wigglers podcast dropped by and interviewed us. The audio, and all it’s warts was used for the farm section.
