Show Notes

In this episode, we dive deep into the harmonious relationship between independence on our farm and the ties we share with our cherished community.

 

**Introduction:**

We begin by revisiting our previous discussions from Episode 8 on the military recruiting crisis that sparked intense online engagement and insights into our sheep operation and our dedication to pasture-raising our lamb with GMO-free supplementation.

 

**Farm Update:**

- Celebrating a local family's journey into the sheep business with our delivered "starter flock."

- Our brooder beef chicks are flourishing, and we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of layer chicks.

- Catch the latest on our recent delivery of 5 hogs to the processor.

- Wishing Betty, our beloved Jersey cow, a swift recovery from pneumonia.

 

**Topic of the Day - Farm and Community:**

1. **Embodying Freedom through Farming:** From retiring from military life to fully embracing the farming world, we share how we've shaped our farm operations to resonate with our deepest values.

2. **Farm-Community Dynamic:** Dive into our commitment to the community, offering freedom from industrial proteins, and delivering premium, affordable products. We're proud to be your farm-to-fork choice.

3. **Economic Ties:** From our partnership with the local GMO-free feed mill to our close-knit economic ties, discover how we champion local businesses.

4. **Shared Knowledge and Resources:** Hear about our enriching collaborations with farms like the Ozarks Heritage Farm, and the magic of shared community resources.

5. **Future Vision:** Join us as we dream of a future of farm tours, community gatherings, kids camps, and more.

 

**Current Event Discussion - Military Barracks:**

- Delve into the GAO's findings on military barracks. From the pressing concerns about service members' quality of life to the challenges DOD faces in maintaining barracks, we shed light on it all.

 

**Closing Remarks:**

Stay tuned for a tantalizing sneak peek into Episode 10 where we'll explore the wonders of raw A2/A2 milk. And as always, we welcome you to share your invaluable thoughts on independence, interdependence, and everything in between.
