We’re starting off the podcast year on a beautifully sunny but slightly chilly day in Connecticut. Cam (Cameron) and Chip (Chester) Falkowski of C&C Back Achers Farm join us for a conversation about the wonderful combinations that can occur when you play with the ingredients a little. Scottish Highland and Belted Galloway Cattle, American Boer and Cashmere Goats (though they don’t mix the cattle and the goats – ha, ha), and multiple generations in this great family - all blend...

We are a little goofy at this time of the year. So, Elara and I put a little ditty together to start this week's episode off, but it's not about Jack and Diane. It'll go down as a classic. We look forward to bringing you more fun and exciting episodes from our adventures in the upcoming year, but we won't give up our day jobs. Happy New Year!! Support the show

We give you the Real Origin Story (so we’ve heard) of Santa’s sled, and the valiant beasts that pull it. Happy Holidays, everyone.

This week we would like to thank all of the farmers and ranchers who work so hard to bring food to our tables. Unfortunately most of the time these hard working people are not thanked enough. We all have stress with our jobs, but for many of us we don't have the added challenges of weather, trade embargoes, and how that's going to affect the price of their crops this year. While we were at the FFA National Show this year we had the opportunity to speak with Abby Heidenreich from the Pur...

We’re not taking you to church, but we are going to a monastery (you never thought we’d start a podcast with that one, I bet). Join us, as we talk to Mother Katherine at the Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery in Otego, New York. Join us, and over 50 sheep, 12 goats, 3 chickens, and a guardian dog. And Mother Katherine runs the whole livestock department, if you believe that. One of the most interesting people we’ve ever met. All that, and her fellow sisters knit a mean pair ...

We talked a month ago about the cost of that comfy sweater from the knitting side of things, but now we’re going to go back a little bit further. The Sheep itself (or goat, or llama, or…). But that’s not the only thing we need to trace in that regard. There’s the shepherd, which sprang into existence at the moment the sheep was domesticated. Our podcast today brings back Tammy White, of Wing and a Prayer Farm in Shaftsbury, Vermont. Little did anyone know, but a...
