For the second time in SYWBAF history, a special guest joins the conversation. Wendy's niece, Elyssa, leaves the big city and spends a few days experiencing farm life. while Wendy takes her first work trip in over two years. Join us as we see the farm animals in a new light, in particular, her many thoughts on the chickens and their eggs. A Jewish educator, Elyssa helps us delve a little deeper into the concept of shmita, shares her complicated feelings about kashrut (kosher) laws and their application in our contemporary society. Listen carefully so you don't miss Molly's constant snoring throughout!

It's a Girl!

Spring is in the air and a baby animal is headed to Chutzpah Hollow (and who knows, maybe there are other babies on the way...)! The new chicks are hanging out in the garage making a mess in their enclosure (and annoying Wendy) for another couple of weeks while they prepare to join the rest of the flock outside. Melissa becomes an official beekeeper. and recalls the details of bringing home the hive. Other spring activities begin, and with them come plans for new additions to the garden. All this and more in Episode 21!

Gimme a Little Kishke

What's a Kishke, you ask? Listen and find out!
Melissa and Wendy break down their in-person reunion and what has changed since Melissa's last visit to Chutzpah Hollow, including a surprise declaration on the farm population (followed by an apology!). The baby cow starts solid food, pigs get a little rude, and the sheep... well, the sheep just continue to do their thing and look pretty.
Melissa finally gets to don the protective gear, light up the smoker, open the hive, and take a peek inside. All this and more in Episode 23!
