So You Wannabe a Farmer

Two friends, one farm dream. Wendy packed up her suburban Maryland home, two kids, two cats, and a dog and moved to a farm in rural North Carolina. Melissa, who's still back in Maryland, lives the farm life vicariously through Wendy while tending to her ever-expanding backyard garden. They catch up each week to discuss the latest adventures on her farm, Chutzpah Hollow, with occasional updates from Melissa's tiny oasis in the 'burbs.Why are we here? When Wendy decided to take that enormous leap to fulfill her dream of buying a farm, I wanted to make sure I could follow along every step of the way. This podcast is my opportunity to tag along while helping her document the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens.We are friends, working professionals, Jewish mothers, and total noobs. Neither of us have any experience farming or homesteading. We’re just two gals who love the natural world, and who seek a healthy and meaningful life for ourselves and our families. Some of you brave risk-takers will relate to Wendy. Others, like me, will listen from the sidelines and continue to fantasize about starting our own farm someday while growing whatever we can in our backyards, and trying our hands at living the homestead life in the ‘burbs. We hope you’ll join us on this adventure, either from the sidelines or while getting your own hands dirty.

Happy Farmiversary!

July 29, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 31

On this week's episode, the last of the season, Wendy and Melissa reflect on the one year anniversary of Chutzpah Hollow. Animals and lawn mowers have come and gone, Wendy learned to enjoy gardening, and most shockingly, her children are still speaking to her! Another milestone - Wendy learns to let go. YouTube and the interwebs continue to supplement her efforts to figure it out on her own (and in most cases, successfully). And in their typical conversational style, the friends go off on a tangent about the mating habits of ducks before returning to their reflections on the past and thoughts about what the future holds.

Stay tuned for Season 3....coming soon! Thanks for listening!
