Hi friends! This month’s episode is an adaptation of a fairy tale found in several cultures called “Why the Sea is Salt”.
In this adaptation, a young woman trades for a magic quern (or hand mill) that can produce anything she requests. It’s a story where sharing and selflessness are rewarded and greed and selfishness reap what they have sown.
Thank you so much for supporting this podcast – I hope you enjoy this ...
Hi friends, this month’s episode is about a recent pig and goat escapade on Foggy Oak Farm where one of our pigs broke through a fence...and all the pigs and goats got out! And BOY were they ornery during their bid for free reign of the farmyard. Join us for a tale of hilarity and woe (at least if you're me, fixing a broken fence in 95 degree weather while trying to catch what felt like an army of loose farm animals).
This episode is about pigs. Specifically, it is about three recent additions to Foggy Oak Farm – Pua, Petunia, and Peaches, who are Kunekune pigs and part of the many spring animal expansions we have done this season.

This week’s story is an adaptation of an Aesop’s fable called “The North Wind and the Sun”, where the North Wind challenges the Sun to a contest: the first to get a traveler to remove his cloak wins!
A classic lesson in the power of persuasion over force, this tale from 2,000 years ago still holds up!

Many fairy tales offer us the lesson “be careful what you wish for”. They teach us that sometimes getting what we want isn’t at all what we expected…and warn us about the dangers of making bargains we can’t control.
“The Magic Flounder” story from several months ago is a good example of this – each time the fisherman wishes for more grand things he and his wife become less and less happy.
This week’s story from Greek Mythology take...
Hi friends!
Last season we had a story about a fellow named Hans who was born on a leap year and believed he was the luckiest man alive…and interpreted every even that happened through that lens. This month’s episode features an old woman with a similar outlook on life, as well as a mischievous shapeshifter who really tries to test her sunny outlook.
Like our recent story “Fairies in the Chimney”, this is an adaptation of...
This month’s episode is about my parents’ black lab Henry, who we discovered takes an unusual and vast delight in stealing and returning sleds. Not just any sleds, however, only those that he believes are not sleds at all...but actually giant frisbees that it is his very serious responsibility to catch and return to us...even if we’re the ones sitting on them!
Let’s find out how we discovered his amusing habit, and enjoy ...
Hi friends! This month's episode is a funny adaptation of one of the oldest known fairy tales. A blacksmith makes a bargain with death, and then works to outwit him time and time again.

Hi friends! This week’s story is about three hens with big personalities who recently rejoined us at Foggy Oak Farm...and the hijinks they have already gotten into.
Flock additions are always interesting, but perhaps never quite so much as for these hens who had never seen a rooster, let alone an entire farm full of animals!
Join me to find out how they are acclimating to their new life on the farm!
Hi friends! This week’s episode is about my recent trip to Ohio to experience the totality of the 2024 solar eclipse – a fantastical celestial event that I hope everyone will have the chance to experience at least once in their lifetimes.
