Or just buy me a coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lewismaryes 00:00 listening to A Tiny Homestead, the podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters. I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Today I'm talking to a fellow Mary at Front Forty Farm in Missouri. Good morning, Mary. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. I don't talk to Mary's very often. I always think it's a very common name. Yes. think you're the second Mary I've talked to in over two and a half years on this podcast. Oh, really? I've always thought it's like a very boring square name. 00:30 Yeah, I honestly, I was nicknamed Lynn when I was a couple weeks old because I'm named after both my grandmother's Mary Evelyn. And my parents had a disagreement about which name should have come first. So they decided to nickname me Lynn. And when I went to kindergarten, they did the roll call and they were asked, you know, they were calling my given name. 00:57 And I didn't know my name was Mary. I thought my name was Lynn. Oh, wow. And the teacher called my mom and she said, there's a girl in our class and we don't know who she is. We think she's Mary. And my mom was like, uh okay, this is really weird. And my mom's okay, describe the girl. And they described what I've been, what I was wearing and my hair color and that I was this tall, whatever. And my mom said, well, yeah, that's Mary. And 01:26 They said she doesn't respond to Mary. And my mom laughed and she said, of course she doesn't because she's never been called Mary. She's been called Lynn. So there was a very big mix up the first day of kindergarten. then in high school, I switched back to Mary because I was like, it's my real name. I should use it. my close friends for a long time would call me Lynn, but no one except my husband calls me Lynn now. 01:55 Oh really? Interesting. Yeah, so names are crazy. Yeah. Okay, so the reason that I asked you to be on the podcast is because of your farm name Front 40. I'm assuming that is the opposite of Back 40. Exactly. My husband came up with it because he's like, well, you know, people are always saying out to the Back 40 or, know, whatever. And in the assessment plot, we are the front 02:24 east 40 of the whole section. so there you go. Well, 47 actually, but yeah. Well, it got my attention. So I'm glad you called it front 40 arm. And it's three F's in a row. So that's cool too. So when did you, when did you start the farm? We moved out here in November of 22. 02:51 Okay. And were you city folk or do you have? Oh yeah. Um, yeah, we got married in October. He's a widower and I've been divorced for a very long time and we got married in October, bought the house in November and we lived in Independence, Missouri, which is, um, a suburb of Kansas city and the urban sprawl and all the crime and everything. So it wasn't a great place and we wanted to be more self-sufficient. Yeah. 03:21 I think COVID woke a lot of people up and yeah, so we did it. He sold his house, I sold my house and me came out here. Did you guys have any farming or homesteading background before that? Not really. He was raised on more of like a farm. They had a milk cow and they butchered rabbits and things like that. And I grew up on Lake Michigan. uh 03:50 So no, not really. had my first husband had to farm horses and a few cattle. So I do a little bit from that. And we just kind of wing it. We do a lot of praying for wisdom. Well, that's good because even when you've been brought up in a homesteading or farming family, you can't know everything. Rice can't. So it's good that it's a learning process all the way through. Yes. So you guys have highland cattle, you have sheep. 04:20 You have chickens? They're angora goats. Sorry, angora goats. They look like sheep. Oops. do. You have chickens? Chickens and guineas and one turkey at the moment. And am I missing an animal? Dogs, cats, bees. Bees, okay. Cool. I think that's it. Okay. I want to talk about the angora goats and your 04:46 Your minis, but I said I wasn't going to ask about this, but I am going to ask about this because I'm a sucker. Your dog, dogs, both dogs? have four altogether. Are two of the dogs the Wolfhound Australian Shepherd Crosses? Yes, they're a brother and sister. Okay. We were breeding Aussies and it was too questionable how they would turn out, whether they would kill our 05:14 chickens and we had two goats killed and then we were like, okay, we're done with Aussies. They sold well, but it's like, yeah, we're not taking that chance anymore. we had one, it's hard to find a group of dogs that ...
