Original Transplants

Episode 18 of the Original Transplants podcast features Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will sharing updates from the bee hives, chicken coop, edible landscape, and agricultural news. We complain about the rainy May weather and how that's impacting the nectar flow and also the bees, describe strategies for keeping chickens out of the blueberry bushes, discuss additions to the edible and perennial landscape, and hunt down pink lady's slipper orchids in the state game lands. We also share agricultural news about farming in the Pennsylvania Wilds, buying domesticated bison on Craigslist, and the hidden costs of 'cheep' chicken.
