Ask a Farmer Anything (AFA)

Professors hold office hours, celebrities host ask-me-anything (AMA) events, corporate executives host "open door" meetings for their employees. As farmers, we are not celebrities, professors, or corporate executives, but hot dog – we know a thing or two about feeding rocks to chickens. We also know about the pros and cons of corn in animal feed, we've thought about how often to move goats and sheep, we've raised a variety of pigs in a variety of circumstances, and one time we had meat rabbits for like five years. We get a continuous stream of questions on these and other farming topics from our customers, other farmers, and local folks doing backyard livestock raising of all shapes and sizes. We love to give back to the community and we truly believe a rising tide lifts all ships, but it's getting to the point where answering community and customer questions is taking a significant amount of time and many keystrokes on laptop emails.

To try and address this increasing volume of questions and continue supporting the community that has helped us so much, we're starting twice a month virtual AFA (Ask a Farmer Anything) sessions. This allows for long form discussions about farming questions that folks have while benefiting everyone who shows up. It carves out dedicated time for us to share what we have learned with dirt [soil], hooves, snouts, and diesel powered machinery. Show up and ask about what kind of hay sheep should be eating, how to administer selenium to a terrified baby goat, the best way to pluck a chicken, or how to use any passenger car as a farm truck. Registration is required, it’s totally free but registration helps us for planning. If these times don't work, shoot us a message to let us know what works for you. We will figure this out together!

New dates added at the beginning of every month. These are announced in our monthly newsletter.
