NEPM: Barberic Farm

🐑

Jacob takes Monte and Kaliis to visit BABY LAMBS with Barbara Goodchild, one half (with her husband Eric) of Barberic Farm in Shelburne. They talk about:

• Raising sheep, baking pies, and making pickles and so many other interesting and delicious things from their animals and market garden.

• Why farmers’ markets are especially important for small farms like theirs

• Other skills that make them modern renaissance folks, from blacksmithing to spinning to playing more than a handful of instruments
