Welcome to a show that ends in 5, that means it’s time again for the

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)
  • Sheri: How hard is soap making?
  • Trip, next show, etc

Show 76 next week will be a toup of the farm durring chores, which pictures
