|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12/29/23 | 48 Seconds Closer to Spring | Winter is an uncertain time on the farm. Hungry predators find their way onto the property, rain forces sheep and pigs to seek shelter in the usual spots, and the goats - who despise rain - pile together under the eaves and on the front porch of the house. Garden planning is in full swing, regardless of whether those plans will actually be followed! Plus, frickin' chickens, a new rooster, the imminent arrival of baby goats and more... All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm.... | 47m 16s | ||||||
| 12/17/23 | Homesteading is a Mindset | Surprise and Happy Holidays! A little treat from Melissa and Wendy along with apologies for seemingly sneaking off under the cover of darkness without a word of warning or a decent goodbye. (We call that the Spence Sneak-off.) Enjoy the update! All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoying the podcast, please rate and review on Apple Podcasts.

| 7/12/23 | Shade Cloth Hurts My Heart | Summer is in full swing. Wendy and Melissa contemplate the viability of garden vision glasses to help in identifying green vegetables on green plants. Brea, the beloved Barbados black belly sheep, is pregnant and the jury is still out on two of her closest pals, Torn Ear and No Tag (no, really, those are their names). Unlike in the big city, drunk dialing on a farm leads to another unexpected delivery of chicks leading Melissa to consider installing a Breathalizer on Wendy's phone to pr... | 55m 50s | ||||||
| 6/30/23 | When you Give a Sheep a Haircut | June means the end of the school year, graduation, the summer solstice, the time when gardens take off, animals are busy eating the abundant greenery, sheep get sheared, s'mores are made and consumed, harvesting begins, and we get outside as much as possible. Melissa and Wendy share details of their individual domains and ponder aspects of kashrut, or the Jewish laws governing food consumption. It should be very obvious that the hosts have no idea what they are talking about and any in... | 53m 05s | ||||||
| 6/5/23 | It's Been a Minute | Well, we took an unexpected break. Life got in the way, what can I say? Sorry 'bout that! We're back now. Listen in to hear what's been happening. There are animals, holidays, kitchen discoveries, budding plants, and so much more of the goodies you know you love. Thanks for hanging in there and we hope you enjoy the latest episode. All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoying the podcast, please rate and review on Apple Podca... | 1h 05m 31s | ||||||
| 4/25/23 | 'Tis the Season | Spring is officially here! Seedlings and flowers are popping, eggs are hatching, the trees are filling with leaves. Sheep get succumb to deadly parasites, heavy storms cause damage and destroy farm structures, and bees swarm. Joy! Come see what the spring has in store on Chutzpah Hollow. It's been quite a season so far, and we've only just begun (I hear a song there). All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoying the podcast,... | 1h 01m 03s | ||||||
| 4/1/23 | Asparagaphobia | Wendy self diagnoses what Melissa dubs "asparagaphobia," otherwise known as fear of commitment. This disorder can be identified by high anxiety brought on by the realization that you planted asparagus in your garden and you won't see the fruits of your labor for three years. There are chicken births and chicken deaths and even a broody hen. Wendy forages for wildflowers to make flavored vinegar in honor of her grandmother. Melissa, a.k.a. The Impatient Gardener, accidentally sacrifices ... | 54m 06s | ||||||
| 3/16/23 | Another Another One | A beautiful tiara is perfect for any occasion, especially International Women's Day! However, the flashing lights and multicolored flowers can feel slightly inappropriate when the conversation turns to butchering lambs. It's been a challenging week on the farm with two lamb births that didn't go as expected, and construction on the house feels never-ending. Wendy experiences another way of "dispatching" one of the animals and explains why it matters what method she chooses. Meanwhile,... | 1h 00m 35s | ||||||
| 3/6/23 | I Don't Even Know How to Respond to That | It's a busy time on the farm! Spring preparations are underway indoors and out. Lambs are dropping while poultry is finding its way to the freezer, and such is life on Chutzpah Hollow. In the kitchen, Wendy whips up homemade cream cheese and French pastries and Melissa goes berserk over some black bean soup she made from her home grown beans. ...And there's still the mystery of what inspired the title of the episode. All that and more! So join us as we head out to the far... | 55m 28s | ||||||
| 2/18/23 | It's Not a Weekend without a Significant Bruise | Check out what seeds we are starting indoors, both on the farm and in the 'burbs. We cover soil blocking, wool pellets, sanitizing your seed starting mix, and watering seedlings. But where do you put all these plant babies when it's time to go outside, especially when you have lots of space on your farm? It's time for lambs to be separated from their moms, and while it's not quite Silence of the Lambs, let's just say they aren't pleased with the situation. The permanent chi... | 51m 58s | ||||||

| 2/2/23 | More Schmaltzy Goodness | Did you miss us? We've returned to kick-off 2023 with our usual ponderings, quick-witted banter, some new discoveries, and a bunch of shenanigans. You know, same as before but with just a bit more experience! Come join us as we catch you up on the latest updates from Chutzpah Hollow and the suburban gardens of Chez Spence. All that and more!

| 1/7/23 | Udder Excitement and Shear Terror | Well folks, Season 3 is officially complete! Wendy and Melissa review their fondest memories and standout moments from the year. Tune in to reflect along with them as they take a stroll through the successes, learnings (not failures!), and "udder" triumphs! See you soon for Season 4! *Please note: this episode was recorded while Melissa was on vacation and without the usual equipment, so the sound quality is a bit less clear. All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Tha... | 57m 56s | ||||||
| 12/16/22 | Eat the Frog | So many references to frogs in this episode, and one involves a song! There is also a chicken crossing a road (no joke). Wendy practices a new skill...relaxing! Silence of the Lambs gets a few shout outs, and among the non-farm related content, Wendy talks about how much of her family Thanksgiving was sourced directly from the farm. Back in Rockville, Melissa has some winter growing successes to share. Believe it or not, Wendy acquires a new animal (a pet!). All that and more! So... | 54m 45s | ||||||
| 11/29/22 | My Sheep Love is Real | The holiday season is here! That means a very bad day for certain turkey residents of Chutzpah Hollow. Wendy's favorite holiday means lots of farm grown food on the table to share with family and friends. And while the freezer is stocked with turkey, Wendy must reconcile her love of the OG chickens and her distain for the "meat monsters" whose only reason for being is as food for her family. Meanwhile back in Rockville, Melissa admits worms just aren't for her. In other words, they didn... | 45m 04s | ||||||
| 11/21/22 | Chaotic Pandemonium | Melissa questions whether she and Wendy will ever run out of things to talk about and Wendy responds that while life on the farm can sometimes feel routine, according to Sam, it exists in a state of "chaotic pandemonium"... so no. There should continue to be lots to discuss. Some of this week's topics include Melissa and Wendy reminiscing about their experiences with high school math and other fond memories from the 80s; how much we rely on other people for our daily needs v... | 54m 23s | ||||||
| 11/1/22 | Happy Birthday, Melissa! | Melissa celebrates another trip around the sun, the friends reveal how "the sausage gets made," and Melissa reveals her top ten takeaways from a recent visit to Chutzpah Hollow. Spoiler alert: Turkeys are still super-dumb. What more is there to say...just take a listen! All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening!

| 10/23/22 | Breakfast of Champions | This week Wendy is celebrating Sukkot on the farm, one of the Jewish harvest festivals. and the joy and bounty of fall. Melissa buys herself a birthday greenhouse in preparation for winter, and the bees get a mite treatment. The results are in...lambing 2022 can officially be declared a success! Wendy's tom turkey decides he his her protector. Maybe a livestock guardian turkey? All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you ... | 47m 21s | ||||||
| 10/12/22 | Life Lessons: Brought to You by Covid | A relatively mild but extremely exhausting case of Covid takes Wendy down and teaches her some lessons along the way (not to mention some interesting, possibly fever-induced ponderings). While she didn't buy property during the pandemic, Melissa did fulfill another dream of hers - becoming a certified coach. Lambing continues, holidays abound, foraging, canning, and gardening, too! All that and more! So join us as we head out to the farm... Thank you for listening! If you are enjoyi... | 56m 34s | ||||||
| 9/28/22 | To Life...L'Chaim! | Baby lambs have arrived. I repeat, baby lambs have arrived on Chutzpah Hollow! Wendy is almost an official farmer now. Owning a tractor is the only thing between Wendy and being an official farmer according to Melissa's very unscientific system. Thirty new turkeys arrive, and while they are proving not to be the smartest animal on the farm, Wendy has a fondness for them and is excited to raise more. The boys eat their first duck (and love it) and the family tries venison for the first t... | 1h 00m 03s | ||||||
| 9/16/22 | The Waiting is the Hardest Part | Sure, we're Tom Petty fans, who isn't? But this waiting involves pregnant sheep on the verge of delivery. Meanwhile, other comings and goings include a new batch of turkeys in (whose brains are the size of a pecan and bodies are the size of a small dog, according to Wendy) , more of the greenhouse out. Pickup truck in, adolescent mini cows (possibly) out. Puppy shenanigans ensue requiring reinstatement of the avian ICU in the garage as one of the turkeys recover. And most importantl... | 52m 36s | ||||||
| 9/7/22 | Welcome Home, Jerome! | It's back to school time at Chutzpah Hollow (and in most of the rest of the country)! That means football games in 95 degree heat, returning to schedules, and lots of transitions on the farm. Among them, Wendy barters two Nubian billy goats for one Nigerian dwarf billy named Jerome, lamb watch and related preparations continue, a new garden is established, and a pickup truck is (finally) on the horizon. Oh, and a bunch of turkey poults will soon be delivered. Back in the 'burbs, Melissa harv... | 55m 28s | ||||||
| 8/29/22 | A Bad Day for Chickens (Warning: Graphic Content) | A So You Wannabe a Farmer first! We record from an undisclosed, remote location. In other words, while Melissa was at the beach on vacation eating ice cream and playing mini golf. Meanwhile, Wendy toiled away on the farm in the heat of August processing chickens, but also creating community. As only good friends do, Melissa corrects Wendy's proclivity to refer to worm castings as worm casings (which was fortunately well received). Udder watch continues as the sheep continue to gestate ... | 1h 00m 29s | ||||||
| 8/19/22 | Clarify and Simplify | Welcome back! It's year two on Chutzpah Hollow and things are getting serious! It's time to stop messing around to get down to business beginning with the First Annual Chutzpah Hollow Shareholder's Meeting where Wendy and the boys reflect on the past year and plan for the future. With summer in full swing, we cover managing garden chaos and preparing for fall gardening, the state of Wendy's kitchen as she embarks on her preservation bonanza of dehydrating, canning, and freezing the bounty.&n... | 57m 04s | ||||||
| 7/29/22 | Happy Farmiversary! | 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 t... | 53m 06s | ||||||
| 7/15/22 | Care for a Cup of Worm Tea? | The heat is on! While it's still July, it feels like August in both NC and MD. Wendy's garden is taking off and turning wild and she is experimenting with companion planning. Melissa is busy pruning tomatoes and squash. Surprisingly, she has decided to invite a new species of critter into the backyard garden... no spoilers! The topic takes a turn away from the farm and veers toward the question of "What do you do?" before returning to Chutzpah Hollow for an update on the status of the v... | 54m 22s | ||||||
