This podcast didn't take off and we don't have time to keep up with it anymore. We actually had some interesting things happen this week, so join us one last time to hear our farewell and a few bits of good news about the farm.


The sanctuary we discuss is Darrowby Farm Sanctuary, and the duck enclosure is actually meant for chickens and it's from VEVOR. Here's the link: VEVOR Metal Chicken Coop


We were glad to have you with us for sixty episodes. Stay safe and warm. :-)

Aside from asbestos, we talk about stuff on the farm and give some general real estate advice. Enjoy!

The stuff we couldn't pronounce is called "Diatomaceous Earth". The other stuff we mentioned was "First Saturday Lime Pet Insect Repellent".

We're starting from zero, so we don't have as much infrastructure as we would like. But no worries, we'll get there. :-)

Near the end we discussed the new law regarding veterinary medications. We thought it was a state law here, but it turns out to be a national thing. You can learn more about it here.


The farm Cara mentioned with the kunekune pigs is Rock Bottom Farm. They're in Richmond, Maine.

Seriously. Sheep butts, chicken butts and more! From cleaning up a chicken's nether feathers to strategically trimming a sheep's wool, we're covering a bunch of stuff that you should rephrase before typing it into a search engine.


Episode Notes


Baby Got Back was released in 1992.


I'm pretty sure that Cara was referring to Coco Puffs, but that's still a bad description of goat poo.


The probiotic we talked about was Probios for ruminants. The product we're linking to says "bovine" but cows are ruminants just like goats.


If you're interested, here's a link to the famacha certification on the University of Rhode Island website.

Tractor supply has those rubber tubs with handles that we mentioned. Turns out they're called feed pans. But please check your local farm store first.

Here's the small folding swimming pool that we're using for the new duckling. There are three sizes, so check the measurements before you order.

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall were on a show called Fliip or Flop on HGTV. Tarek later appeared on a show called Flipping 101.


Earnest money is also called an Earnest Payment, and you can read about it here.


Asbestos was used all over the place for a long time because it's fire resistant and really useful. But then people found out that the stuff wants to kill you in horrible ways, so it was banned. It's still in a bunch of houses, so we give out some warnings.


Asbestos Remediation is also called Asbestos Abatement. It means that someone is going to remove the asbestos or seal it up so it can't shed any little particles of murderous fiber into the air you live in. It's almost always a Really Big Deal,.
