Description
Meet the farmers Andy and Kelli and learn how we got HERE on our farming adventure. We share our first thoughts on the point / audience / reason / format of these things. There's also a discussion of what’s going on around our small farm and homestead.
This episode introduces our Farm U segment where we share some ruminations about a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model, discuss what a consumer should look for and expect and talk about what a farmer should consider when starting out with a CSA. Since a CSA is such a popular (and growing) model to get fresh, local vegetables these conversations help both sides of the equation (farmer and consumer) understand what's involved.
So welcome to the Chicken Thistle Farm CoopCast... it's our irreverant take on the "farmcast", gardening, livestock talking, homesteading podcast.
