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

That’s all this week. More pictures can be found at HERE.

Welcome to a show that ends in 5, that means it’s time again for the
listener question show. I’m always a little worried that no one will
call in, but I know I shouldn’t be. Even though it’s the middle of
summer and vacation time, we had 9 phone calls! It’s a great show
and we cover a ton of different topics. A big thank you to everyone
who called in, you really did make this show. In the show: (sorry if I spell your name wrong)

• Intro, and location
• Mira: Exotics vs Sheep, Dehydrator Book, Wild Harvesting, and GAMA seal lids
• Melony: Summer Squash in small spaces update
• Bill: Book Information, anyone using a root cellar? Call the farm phone: 206-202-GOAT
• Tom: Answers the question about migratory beeks
• Round Up section
• John M: Goat milk honey, and hay prices
• NCN: What do we miss about city life?
• Angel: Pests, and do we like mushrooms? (yes)
