Anchor ME Farm

Sad news, folks. 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. :-)

We had a partial solar eclipse! By the time you listen to this, you will have already looked directly at it or not... but we hope you didn't. This time we talk about the eclipse and the last big snow storm of 2024. Well, hopefully the last one. We also go over some chicken health and we ramble a bit.

Maine is having winter again! It's Easter Sunday and we're going to have another winter storm in a few days? This winter is never going to end. Anyway, we go over snow removal, the new building we want to build for our non-profit, farm hydrants, power tools and ducks!

We've had some more duck prolapses along with a pretty harsh bit of weather. This time we talk about managing animals in rough weather and providing care for ducks in unusual situations.

We had an event for Saint Patrick's day, but of course it rained. In this episode we talk about that a little, but mostly ramble on with our shy friend Dawn, who says a few things here and there. It's mostly another rambling episode.

Here's that link I promised to the miniature jungle gym. It's the one with the other colors. I can't even find a link to the version we actually received.

We ramble in the beginning of this one, from sheep shearing to vegan corned beef... but then we get to something serious. One of our ducks passed an egg that was too big for her and wound up with a prolapsed oviduct. In this episode, we talk about the whole thing, from discovery of the injury to its conclusion.

It's mostly another rambling episode, but we cover some interesting stuff like making a jungle gym for the birds and discussing things we need to build. Once we got around to our actual topic, we discussed some of the logistics of getting more livestock.

The TikTok creater we were talking about is called Useless Farm.

The weird lip gesture that the goats make is called a flehmen response.

This is another rambling episode. We talk about all sorts of stuff, from using compost as fill dirt to bedroom flooring and then all the way to artificial intelligence. We even came up with another new word, "dowzy". It's the opposite of a doozy. :-)

The other folks we mentioned in the podcast are Saffron and Honey Homestead and Goodwin's Farm 207

In this one we talk about asbestos tiles. We said 8x8 in the show, but it's actually 9x9, 12x12 and 18x18. So there are THREE sizes to look out for!

I'm sorry, but I didn't find the episode where we took on our landlord. No time, We're both doing jobs and running a farm. But it's back there somewhere, I promise!

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

We had our first event of the year, and it was more than we expected. We talk about that, and a few more routine things like which broom brush you should buy to help your goats scratch their heads.
