On today’s podcast, transport yourself to the lonely, glorious green pastures of the eastern side of Scotland. We have a lovely conversation with Jillian McEwen of Lunan Bay Farms, and among many of our topics, we spoke of the joys of farming on the shores of the North Sea, the differences between her Cashmere and Boer goats (two of her three varieties), some out-of-the-box ideas to diversify goat farming, and the ways goats can contribute to education. Never thought those words might go together, right?
Frankly, between Jillian’s gentle Scottish brogue, the salt-laden breezes in our hair, the sun on our faces, and a very sweet and friendly Cashmere leaning in to be petted, it was sometimes hard to stay focused on the conversation, but this is one very interesting lady.
