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
