Airini Beautrais reviews Tackling the Hens by Mary McCallum published by The Cuba Press

Wednesday, May 14 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on farm real estate selling very well right now amongst a scarcity of land happening around the country and which states have the most options, the potential for agriculture to be greenhouse gas negative, and farmers experiencing increased allergies. Then, Doug introduces us to Corrinna Sammons, owner of Dragonfly Farm in Franklinton, NC. Dragonfly Farm is known for their hatchlings and hatching eggs, as well as their tips and recommendations for anyone just getting started with their own flock. At Dragonfly Farm, they have chosen breeds that get along well in mixed flocks, and give variety in both egg color, and feather color. They have tried many other breeds, but have kept only those breeds that seem to outshine the others. Plus, they are very particular about their roosters, only keeping the most beautiful/correct grow outs, with the most gentle dispositions. They do not keep/breed any rooster that has shown aggression to them, their youngest daughter, or their hens. Aggression in roosters typically passes to their offspring, and no one should have to deal with a nasty rooster. Dragonfly Farm undergoes testing every 6 months by the state for their NPIP-ai certification. You can learn more on DragonflyFarmNC.com. Lastly, Farmer Doug shares news on food and beverages that are loaded with microplastics — sea salt, shrimp and oysters, bottled water, rice, tea and more. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Wednesday, April 9 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the dire honeybee situation with the population dwindling and how it's affecting other produce and areas in agriculture, and what beekeepers are suggesting others can do to help. Then, Doug breaks down what the tariffs could mean for farmers and how much the US has exported to other countries and why the trade balance isn't there, and the financial toll faced by the freezing of approved farm programs. Next, we're introduced to Chadam Christensen, a 5th generation farmer from Flamig Farm in West Simsbury, CT. Flamig farm began in 1907, and continues today with Chadam's parents, Nevin and Julie, at the helm. During it's 100 plus years, the farm has gone from a 12 cow dairy, to a few thousand chickens for egg production and through a time of growing 10 acres of organic vegetables. They once had 3 teams of draft horses and did a lot of hayrides, as well as carriage rides for weddings. The mission of Flamig Farm is to be the premier demonstration and education center in New England, focusing on local food production, energy conservation and efficient energy production, and personal wellness and nutrition. They've shifted into an agritourism business with their primary income being with their petting zoo, but also have haunted walkthroughs, host birthday parties and weddings, farm stays, they have chickens with a good amount of eggs, and even offer Animal Reiki. You can learn more about Flamig Farm on Flamigfarm.com. Lastly, Doug opines conversations many farmers are having, like how farmers can protect our farm and, what should congress and the local politicians be focused on, and a new planting season. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Sermon given my Fr. Matt Tebbe during The Table worship gathering on March 16, 2025 (2nd Sunday in Lent)

SEAN DELBECCARO, Pastor of Community and Formation / Second Sunday in Lent / Luke 13.31-35

Luke 13:31-35At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.' ” We lie to our children. That is one thing I've learned in my brief two years of parenting. Most of them are innocent, harmless lies—if there is such a thing. “There are no more cookies, Clive! Mickey Mouse is going to sleep too. Oh sorry buddy, that toy is broken. Yes, that's chicken, it's chicken, just eat it!” Those are some of the more common ones in my household. I'm sure you have, or had, your own in your home. Or maybe you remember some that your parents told you. And if you are sitting here saying, "Well, I never lied to my kids," or “my parents never lied to me," I hate to break it to you, but you're lying right now and yes they did.This is not to shame any of us or to make you look at your own parents in a different light. Most of the time, the lies are told out of protection, care, and concern. We don't want our kids to bear the weight of whatever it is: Spot went to live on a farm or Mommy and Daddy were just talking. This is normal and well-intentioned, no doubt. However, according to the novelist Allison Grant, there are some lies we tell, however well-intentioned, that do more harm than good.This past week, Allison wrote an op-ed in the New York Times about one of those lies—one she says she'll never tell her children—and that is about pain. When something will hurt and how much. Now, I am sure you have a story about a time you told a white lie about how much something would hurt and everything turned out fine. Well, that wasn't the case for Allison.She was born with one leg shorter than the other, by about three inches. When she was 11, she underwent a complex corrective procedure. Over 13 hours, surgeons drilled holes through her bones and attached a metal frame from the outside of her hip to her toe. For the next two years, the frame helped stretch Allison's leg those three inches. Before the surgery, when she asked if it was going to hurt, she remembers being told, “Don't worry, we have ways to manage any unpleasantness.” Reassuring, yes, but it skirted around the truth. Those two years, Allison was in excruciating pain, so much so that morphine, valium, and muscle relaxants were all needed on a regular basis just to mask it a bit.Reflecting on that experience, Allison writes, “The difference between what I was told and what I experienced shattered my faith in doctors and left me questioning whether I could trust adults at all. Now, as a parent—and through my years working in health care—I've made the conscious decision never to lie to people about pain.” Even with something small, she says, she is realistic about the pain they likely will encounter.This is not a sermon about parenting or about not lying to kids. I certainly don't have all that figured out yet. Rather, I hope this lens of honesty on pain and danger helps us see how God, like a good parent, doesn't lie to us about the danger and pain we'll face—and how that truth sets us free.We all want to protect people we love from pain. But what if real love tells the truth, even about the pain? I'd like to think that's what God did for Jesus. God was honest with Jesus about his life, his ministry, and the suffering, too. God didn't protect him from Herods or sugarcoat the cross. And yet—Jesus walked ahead to Jerusalem.That is where we find Jesus in our story today. Teaching and healing from town to town on his way to the holy city when some guys come up and say, “You need to leave right now, Herod wants to kill you!” And Jesus responds with one of the best lines in all the Bible, “Tell that fox that I've got work to do, so just try to stop me.”Don't you wish you could respond like that? Such confidence, such disregard for danger. Make no mistake—Herod was a very real and present danger who could invoke great pain. By this point in the story, he's already thrown John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, in jail and then beheaded him! But here in this scene, Jesus—the guy who always says, "Be not afraid"—shows all of us exactly what being not afraid looks like. “Sorry, Herod, I gotta keep going. I have work to accomplish, and you won't stop me.”Don't you want that? I mean, how is it that Jesus can face such danger, can be threatened with such pain, and not even flinch? I'd like to think, in part, it's because God the Father was honest with Jesus, his only Son. That in the many hours of prayer and discernment, God told Jesus everything about the life and work that was before him. How he would cure people and cast out demons. How he would go to Jerusalem, though foxes would try to stop him. How he would hang on a cross if he chose—but that wouldn't be the end because God promised resurrection.God didn't lie about the pain and the danger. And because Jesus knew what was coming, he could face it all head-on, unafraid, trusting in the promises God had made him. We might not ever be as fearless as Jesus, because well we aren't Jesus. But I do think God in Jesus is honest with us, too, about what we will face in our lives. And we hear that in this passage.There will always be foxes and Herods that are a real danger to us. We will face pain in this life. But here, Jesus makes another promise to us, one that can help us face the foxes. As a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wing, so does Jesus desire to gather and cover you.Notice I say cover you, not protect you. If you've spent any time around chickens, you know that a hen can't actually protect her chicks from a fox. Those wings don't do much of anything against razor sharp teeth and fast claws. And so you might think, “well what good is that then?!” If foxes and danger are inevitable, and a hen can't truly keep her chicks safe, then what good is thinking of God as a Hen? Of all the animals Jesus could have picked to describe himself, why choose a mother hen?Because a hen's love is stronger than any fear a fox instills. She will do all she can to cover her chicks, even gathering them with her wings while she gives up her own life to the fox. We all have foxes. The grief that lingers long after the funeral. The resentment or silence that frays marriages now barely hanging on by a thread. The words said or left unsaid that strain our friendships and families. The overwhelming pressure of raising children—how much screen time is too much, how to balance work and home, how to not fail them. The fear that no matter how hard we try, we are not enough. These foxes creep close, circling, threatening to undo us. But hear this promise: you are not left alone. You are gathered. You are covered. You are sheltered beneath the outstretched wings of Christ, alongside others just as weary as you. And in that love, we don't find protection from the foxes, but courage. Jesus lays down his life so that we can live—not in fear, but with trust and in the promise of resurrection. The foxes do not get the last word.We cannot lie our way out of life's pain, not to ourselves and not to our children. Allison ends that op-ed piece saying “We should tell our kids when it's going to hurt. In the long run, it will hurt them a whole lot less.” That's what God does with us, not to hurt us but to free us from fear and face the pain and danger in this world, trusting also that we do not face the pain alone. We have each other and we have the love that covers us, love that casts out fear. Amen.

"A Time for Eagles & A Time for Hens" | Rev. Ashley Higgins preaching | 03.16.25

Molly's second annual “bird teaching” explored Luke 13:31-15 where Jesus identifies as a mother hen. While this is intended to be a warm and comforting metaphor, the implications of what a mother hen can't do in the face of dangerous foxes is important to consider.

In case you haven't noticed, North American duck populations--duck harvests--have declined from the highs of the late-90s. Dead hens don't lay eggs, for sure, but is the fix that simple? What are the root causes for these declines in waterfowl populations? How bad is it, why might it get way worse before it gets better, and what can we duck hunters really do about it? Scott Stephens, DU's Senior Director of Prairie and Boreal Forest Conservation, joins me to discuss.     Visit MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Sponsors:   MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns BOSS Shotshells Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys  GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  onX Maps Tetra Hearing Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com Voormi       Please subscribe, rate and review Mojo's Duck Season Somewhere podcast, let us know your thoughts in comments.

Laura thinks it's purrfect but Britt thinks they've got to be kitten! (I will stop with the cat puns...) We've previously really enjoyed MAFS for the social commentary that it creates and the ability to dissect toxic behaviours and speak about them in a public way. But, it seems as though it might be time to draw a line in the sand of what we are not willing to accept from contestants on our screens.After an act of violence from one of the contestants was brought up on the show, there has been a huge backlash from the public calling for the show to be cancelled after the experts did not remove the contestant. The company who creates the show has come out saying that their 'first priority at all times has been the wellbeing and safety of the participants'. But is this true?We speak about some of the unethical practices that happen behind the scenes of reality TV and the acceptance of violent people on our screens that exists right now in Australia.

Wednesday, February 26 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on  the Senate's overwhelming approval of Brooke Rollins for United States Secretary of Agriculture, new findings that the avian flu has hit cattle more severely than originally suspected, and a report on the American Soybean Association and the American Sugar Beet Growers Association calling on the EPA to work with them to reform the endangered species act and how it applies to pesticides. Next, Doug introduces us to Claire Benjack of River Road Farm in Franklin, VA (RiverRoadFarmVA.com). Claire explains her farm is more of a passion project as they barely break even, but he priority remains to put healthy food people can feed to their children, which is a big reason her eggs are so popular — not only are they healthy, but she refuses to raise her prices. When Claire was 10, she asked for a farm. Her dad had been thinking about buying a farm on which to raise cattle. This farm in Franklin came on the market, so he bout it and had a short stint in finishing cattle. Up to a thousand head roamed the family acreage. The farm ended up being unsuccessful, so he moved on, and then passed away in 2001. Claire read “Omnivore's Dilemma,” a nonfiction book investigating the environmental and animal welfare effects of various food choices, when she decided to get into farming again. Claire sunk a bunch of money into fencing, started with 5 cows and sold those to friends. She slowly grew to where the farm is today, using money that her dad had invested for her. Claire says they never break even on the farm, and calls it her lemonade stand; it keeps her busy. Claire's husband had the idea of holding concerts on the property, and they gave all the money to the local food bank. They consider themselves more philanthropists than farmers. At River Road Farm, they care deeply about the food they eat, and that's why the farm abides by the philosophy of grass-feeding their cattle, naturally, in order to create the most wholesome and high-quality beef. A strict grass-only diet, as opposed to a grain-based diet, gives cattle a higher quality of life, which in turn provides a higher quality, more heart-healthy product. Lastly, Farmer Doug opines why smaller farms are better than the big agri-business farms and why respecting the animals and the land on farms is imperative to contributing to healthy, better quality food for our loved ones.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Tim Kennelty and Jean Thomas join us once again for the third and final episode of The Cover Up Retrospective, where we've grouped some previously aired short segments together for easier access. In the first segment, Morning Glories are a featured annual vine, but this category also extends to gourd and mini-pumpkin vines, scarlet running beans, and more. Sedums, including Hens and Chicks, are the featured ground covers (and succulents) in this episode. These herbaceous perennials, commonly known as stonecrops, are great options for rock gardens and other areas that are drought prone. Both of these vines and ground covers are low maintenance and relatively easy to grow. The second segment discusses the benefits of sedges, bearberry, and trailing arbutus as ground covers and vines that support pollinators and provide shelter for insects and birds. Sedges are a good alternative for a ‘native' lawn. With over 2000 species, mostly low-growing, and many ever green, they can also be used as a living mulch. Bearberry is a great option to plant under oak or pine trees as it thrives in partial to full shade environments. The name, Trailing Arbutus (a.k.a. Mayflower and Plymouth Mayflower), is derives from the fact that the flowers of this plant were the first to greet the pilgrims after their first winter. It is a native perennial subshrub that forms a creeping mat, usually four to size inches high. The third segment focuses on flowering vines. Passionflower is a beautiful climbing vine with white and purple or blue flowers. There are now hardier varieties that can survive in zone 5. While it blooms from midsummer to early fall, each flower only lasts about one day. The Kiwi vine is another interesting option that can grow up to 33 feet long and has some varieties that are hardy to zone 4. A native of China, it has green heart shaped leaves that are spirally arranged on the stem and a flower that has a slight resemblance to the kiwi bird. Both passionflower and kiwi vine can be fragrant additions to your garden if you can provide the appropriate support for them to climb.
