 This week we share scenes from life on the farm.  Podcast Page: www.farm365podcast.libsyn.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/Farm365podcast EPISODE TRANSCRIPT by Lauren  Thanks to my lovely wife for transcribing this episode. Sean: Don’t be discouraged too long.  I mean it’s a normal thing in the human experience. You left the air conditioned office to roll around in animal poop.

Diego (Host): Hello and welcome to another episode of the Farm365 podcast, the podcast about starting your own small family farm and growing your business one day at a time while attempting to tell your story to an audience of listeners. And no, I don’t get much sleep.I am your host Diego and this is episode number 4. On the previous episodes of the show, you heard folks share their thoughts about my decision to become a farmer. And yes, there was a lot of skepticism and eyebrow raising that I was not able to document, but I did get some positive feedback as you might have heard on the last episode Alan (eFowl): I think it’s awesome what you’re doing and I think you’re going to spread the word about your story and how a small farm gets started, and what it really takes to leave your career and launch something like that is really special. And I think it’s really exciting and I’m excited to hear more. Diego: So far you’ve heard what other people had to say about my journey, but now that I’m actually living it, what do I think about this new life? Was it worth it? But instead of answering that question, I’ll let you decide! So on today’s episode I will be sharing scenes from my week here at the farm. I will include clips from late at night as I walk amongst the owls and the foxes, to early morning thoughts communicated through a raspy and groggy voice, that I’m almost ashamed to share with you guys, but it’s not as bad as that voice that you fake when you try to call out of work in the morning. Before we go into our first scene, I wanted to give everyone an overview of what kind of animals here at the farm. I realized that we haven’t done that so far, and I will do that with details on future episodes, but I think a brief overview of what’s going on here will give you guys an idea of what kind of farming we do. And to start, we have been farming for over 7 months now, and we started with 100 freedom rangers, which are meat chickens, back in September of 2015. Thought the months we have been adding more animals to the farm as we attempt to grow our business. And I want to emphasize the word attempt. Currently on the grounds, we have 3 Tamworth pigs, which we purchased from another farmer just down the road. They are great on pasture! We also have 50 laying hens which gives us amazing pasture-raised eggs. We are on leased land in North Carolina in the good ole’ USA, and now that Spring is here, and the days are longer, I’ve stretched my work day to 14 plus hours. But then again, as I entrepreneur you never really stop working so that number is probably not even accurate. And sometimes, to get things done, late nights are a must. Diego: It is 12:36 a.m. I just finished recording one of the episodes.  There is not a soul around.  And by the way, I don’t know why I am whispering.  Perhaps I don’t want to become prey and let something know that I’m out here.  But it’s a Saturday night.  I do have church in the morning. I hope to sleep well. That was me walking over to the house right after wrapping up the previous episode of this podcast. Where was I coming from? Why was I out there in the middle of the night? I have a studio set up underground in the middle of the woods to help with noise cancellation, plus I don’t need all the padding materials and the fancy studio filters. It makes for a very quiet environment and it’s very down to earth, but this underground studio -- I can’t go on with this anymore.  It’s completely fictional.  I just made it all up. I hope you forgive me. So where was I walking from?  At this point you probably don’t even care, and wish this story was true, but the truth is I have a cabin here at the farm that we use as our homeschooling / home office / podcasting studio. So we find ourselves living out of both places sometimes, the house and the cabin. So back to the clip.  You’re still thinking about that underground story that you fell for. But let’s gather our thoughts and let me recap. I was walking over to the house, it was past midnight, it was very late, I had a long day. Now here is me after not enough hours later, waking up, no I did not have a hangover. I do not drink. I was simply under the influence of sleep deprivation. Diego: It is 6 a.m. on a Sunday.  The family is not here today.  They’re away.  I just woke up.  Usually I try to fit in some computer work in the morning before my day ...
