Wild Oak Family Farm Podcast

We finally got around to editing our last podcast of 2019! Tune in to hear some of our highlights from Fall through Winter. It was recorded between Christmas and New Years so hopefully you’re in the holiday spirit. We share our unusual egg hunt story, talk about the wonders of azolla, and go on record […]

In our second to last episode of 2019 we discuss our recent cooking escapades with bone broth and lard. We then dive into an analysis of how raising the Fall batch of broilers went and what changes we’ll be making for 2020.

This is our second episode in two weeks! Dan finished up the floor and Miriam is ecstatic. The family also really enjoyed a long visit with our new nephew Alton at home in Folsom. We harvested some of our winter veggies and were able to share them with all our animals, and have also been […]

We’ve gotten back to podcasting after a few months lapse so we’re doing a big update. We share how our Thanksgiving went with a new nephew, a wild turkey, and lots of food. We also give a quick overview of our fall round of broiler chickens, mention what’s been going on with our goats, and […]

This time we tell everyone how we’ve been dealing with broody hens and share how our pullets are growing up. We also have a big announcement: a lot of our family is moving to El Dorado County. We close out the show with a story about Dan and a rattlesnake.

We kick off this podcast with a couple quick updates about our goats and new ducks. We then discuss our satisfying weekend of chicken processing and the results: a chest freezer full of 87lbs of chicken. We also share what worked better for us this year and how the kids joined in.

In this episode we go over farm updates and the projects that have been taking up most of our time. We finally put our Cornish Cross chicks on pasture and have decided the chickshaw is superior to the pasture pen. Our food forest survived the weird hail storm in May and we continued to add […]
