We haven’t had a listener call in show since barncast 95, and we had 5 great calls into the farm phone, 206-202-GOAT. This week we discuss:

  • Weather, it’s spring?
  • Sustainable living and horses
  • Cheese waxing
  • Lehman’s store
  • Nose to tail eating
  • Fiber and wool
  • Florida, and the spring planting

Misty’s flikr can be found here. And she has some great pictures:

Remember the next show is number 75 and that means it’s the listener question show. Just like show 55 and 65 we want you to call 206-202-GOAT with your questions and comments and then we’ll make the entire show based on calls we got. So please call!!

This week we start out with a special guest who dropped into to the studio with us. Then we gripe about the weather and then look at what’s going on with the garden, what’s doing well, what isn’t, and second crops of certain things. This week:

  • Special guest and intro
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT, 2 great calls
  • Round up: Milk good, dry bad
  • Farm Section: Garden

    This is the first podcast of the month so it’s an interview podcast! We have Caroline join us this month. She’s called on the farm phone before and provided a barn tour so you might remember her. She lives on a small farm, raises alpacas, goats, and chickens. On the show this time we talk about fiber and her goats.

    In this weeks show:

    • Farm Phone! — 206-202-GOAT
      • Ellen – Pt2, Balanced Singles
      • Jon Peder, Weather and wacky things
    • Farm Section – Goats!
    • Life Section – Fiber

    So the request this week is to call the farm phone with what whacky thing you wish you could do but can’t. If you live in the city what do you wish you could do?? If you live in the country what can’t you do due to climate, etc? The phone number is 206-202-GOAT.

    I hope you enjoy the show! If you want to email it’s gfl@geekfarmlife.com
