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

This is a really special episode, Caroline takes us for a tour of her barn while she’s milking. What could be better than the sounds from a strange barn??? In this weeks show:

• Dave from Chub creek sends us the opener
• John G and his peppers and wine. Thank you John G!
• Farm Phone: How did we meet, are we telling??
• Roundup!
• Caroline: Milking, and barn tour
• Foot problems
• Knitting and spinning. Roving vs combed tops

We had a great time doing the show this week and I think it showed. The great start with Dave and the tour really made it a good time. I hope you enjoy the show as much we did putting it together. We want your questions! Farm phone: +1-206-202-GOAT, or you can email us at gfl@geekfarmlife.com, or leave a comment!
