Barncast 103 — Curing

Filed under: Podcast, Food Preservation, Meat, Curing — andrew at 7:13 am on Monday, January 28, 2008

It’s warm enough to be back out in the the barn this week!! We have 3 great farm phone calls. I have a special request though. We’re going to be out of town for 3 weekends, and I want to put together some shows while we’re on the road. It will basically be farm phone sections, so that means I need your calls to the farm phone at 206-202-GOAT. Give us tips, give us stories, ask questions. Be as long as you like, call back if you’re cut off after 5 minutes.

In this weeks show:

  • Farm Phone request
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT. Sheep, to udder wash, to dexters
  • Round Up: not much
  • Farm Section: An intro to curing meat, bacon and hocks

  • Weather, it’s winter what else?
  • Farm phone: 206-202-GOAT. 4 great calls

Filed under: Podcast, Meat, Clothing — andrew at 9:48 pm on Sunday, December 9, 2007

Welcome back to another week. We’re back to the normal show, and this week it’s pretty relaxed. We look at winter apparel thanks to a great call to the farm phone at 206-202-GOAT, then we go through the round up and farm section. Winter is here so the round up is pretty short this time! This week I promise to get a video extra up too.

  • Weather, again
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT. Dressing upf
  • Round Up: getting more quiet
  • Farm Section: Don’t have a cow!
