Showing off the Fruits of our Labor
Guerrilla podcasting from the mobile studio today. Sorry folks. It was mobile or nothing this week. We give a recap on Inman Farm Heritage Days, finally get the horse on stall rest, pick a buttload of grapes, and talk about the agricultural side of dealing with flooding.
Special thanks to Ricky for spending his Saturday slogging through the mud at Heritage Days.

Some video from Heritage Days of a vendor trying to pull their trailer out through the mud, getting stuck, and then having to be pulled out by a tractor.
Inman Farm Heritage Days
In the days leading up to our favorite festival of the year – the rain threatened, and then – unfortunately for us it then followed up and made good on the threat. In spades. Friday looked good, but Saturday was wet and muddy from the get go.
I will say that given the rain, this was a dedicated crowd. I made enough on Saturday to cover family dinner at the concession stand. The Brunswick stew was to die for and I ate much more than anyone should be allowed to eat.. shamelessly.
I had a tough time keeping the soaps from sweating with the uber-high humidity, so on the list is trying to figure out some way of packaging them so they keep dry. Any of you soapmakers out there have any suggestions? Wrapping them in paper towels seemed to work in the short term.
My daughter helped with the booth and held her own selling cookies and brownies.
Although the heavy rains did put a dent in our bottom line, we made out okay and caught up with some old friends. If anything, this weekend served as a good reminder to me about why I spend all this time and energy lugging a booth around in the rain to try and hock a few jars of jelly.
It’s certainly not for the money. No, It’s the people. Like so many other things.. it’s the people.
It always has been, and for me at least – it always will be.
Thank you Rick, Joanne, Stephanie and everyone else that works so hard to make Heritage Days what it is.

Vending at Inman Farm Heritage Days
Pressed for time this week. We get a great shoutout from Sean and Cim, talk about horses, curse the carpenter ants, and badmouth hicks that cannot tell the difference between a honeybee and a hornet.
NewsReal – Enjoy the soap, Cim! And yes it is actually made from lard.
