Conversations about farming, food
and the people who make it happen…
Talkin’ Dirt is a podcast about farming, soil, and the people working to grow real food today.
Host Robert Peters travels to farms big and small, sitting down with growers, ranchers, and agricultural innovators who are rebuilding soil, feeding their communities, and finding creative ways to make farming work.
Each episode is an honest conversation about the challenges, traditions, and surprising successes happening in agriculture right now.
If you care about food, land, and the future of farming, you’ll feel right at home here.
In this episode of Talkin’ Dirt, I sit down with Audrey and Michelle from Lucky Ewe Farm on Lopez Island in Washington’s San Juan Islands.
They talk about how they got into sheep, what it’s like managing a small band on an island, and the role sheep play in their daily life.
The conversation also gets into lambing season, working with dogs, and how sheep behavior can shift depending on the landscape. Audrey and Michelle share some of the unique benefits and challenges of farming on a small island like Lopez and talk about why they’ve made the difficult decision to begin transitioning away from sheep ranching.
This was a reflective look at small-scale farming and life with a small band of sheep.
