  • All the fun, none of the (farm) work!

    I grew up on a farm and have no desire to return, but I do miss aspects of it and this podcast is a fun return without the work. I love the banter between Melissa and Wendy and hearing their stories brings back memories. In a good way! Definitely look forward to visiting this farm in a podcast! :)
