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!

Let’s find out how several classic fairy tale tropes come together for a fun filled sheep adventure!

Hi friends, this episode is about our puppies experiencing their very first real snow! It happened last week, and at a year-and-a-half old it was their first chance to fall in love with an aspect of winter that everyone here at Foggy Oak Farm already adores. That is…if they can get over how scared they are of this mysterious white stuff falling from the sky! Let’s learn how Orion and Kristoff went from terrified to thrilled, with some help from their parents.

Have you heard the expression “follows you around like a duckling” before?

Honorary Mermaids: The Twilight Zone 🧜♀️🧜♂️
Wed, 23 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0400
This week, we’re back with siblings Rowan and Rosalie as they work to complete the second of three tests to become honorary mermaids!
Last time, they were in the sunlight zone of the ocean and helped to save a baby otter who was in danger. Their kindness earned them green gold speckles all over their mermaid tails and the completion of one test!
This week, they are moving into the middle layer – the twilight zone – for their second test, when they encounter a ghost net – which is a fishing net that has been lost or abandoned at sea. It’s called a ghost net because it keeps catching fish and other sea creatures forever even though no one is in charge of it – it just haunts the water. Rowan and Rosalie have to save themselves and a hundred other animals who are trapped in the net.
A quick word of caution – everything comes out fine in the end, and we talk about this in kid-friendly ways, but these nets are a little sad and scary because of their impact on wildlife. They really are a huge problem in the oceans! You can skip this episode if you’d rather not learn about them.
You can listen to the first part of their story in the episode "Honorary Mermaids: The Sunlight Zone".

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a beloved place, animal, or thing is in need of a name. Or, well, if it’s not universally acknowledged at least a the practice has a long and illustrious history in both fiction and reality.

Rowan and Rosalie have always been drawn to the ocean, and one day their mother takes them to visit their mysterious Aunt Maj who lives in a cottage by the sea in Nova Scotia. It turns out Aunt Maj is an honorary mermaid! And…so are they – at least, if they can pass the tests of the sea talkers (another word for mermaids) and earn their tails! Join us as they try to complete their first test in a kelp forest filled with sea urchins, otters, and even a great white shark!

Swoon! Fainting Goats at Foggy Oak Farm 🐐
Wed, 24 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400
This week we have a story about bringing fainting goats to Foggy Oak Farm! A couple of springs ago we brought home three fainting goats – a mom and her two babies. We learned that while they DO faint when they are startled or excited, it doesn’t stop them from running things. Let’s learn about these interesting ungulates, and how they went from the new kids on the block to the bosses of all the sheep and goats on the farm.

I imagine you’ve heard of fairies – magical creatures that live in the woods, and meadows, and and that’s what this story is about! Laurel is forbidden to go into the forest by her cottage after a woodcutter emerges claiming that fairies attacked him when he chopped down a tree.
All the grown ups are worried that the fairies are going to come after the village, too. When they refuse to try and talk to the fairies and try to make peace, Laurel decides to do it herself, and sets off an adventure to find the fairy ring in the forest and resolve the disagreement.

Cassandra the Sheep: Cursed! 🐑
Wed, 10 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400
This week’s story is based on the Greek mythological prophet Cassandra. In this retelling, Cassandra is a sheep who was caught eating the flowers of a wizard. The wizard curses her in revenge! She will know bad things will happen in the future....but no one will believe her when she warns them!
Unlike the Greek myth, this one has a happy ending. Cassandra learns from her curse and, when it is removed, she is able to anticipate bad things that could happen and help her friends avoid them, even without the curse.

Brownie the Hound Dog: Always Running 🐕
Wed, 03 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400
This week we have a story about Foggy Oak’s first dog, a brown and black hound dog mix named Brownie, who came to us after she was found running along the side of the road by relatives in Ohio. Brownie thought she should be everyone’s friend (or mother, if it was a baby animal) and could be counted on to sneak into your lap if you weren’t watching. Above all, Brownie was a runner. Let’s see if we can catch up with her in this week’s story...before she catches a donkey determined to stomp her!

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400
This episode is about the first farm animals we had at the beginning of Foggy Oak Farm – Henrietta, a guineafowl who appeared mysteriously the day we took ownership of the farm; and Teddy, a rooster we quickly brought to the farm to give Henrietta a friend.
We’ll learn about the chicken’s lesser known cousin the guinea, how Henrietta and Teddy led us to quickly add more guineas and chickens, why you want to avoid mean roosters, and learn that friendship in its many forms is very much a treasure...even as it grows and changes over time.

Fearless Susan - Part 3: Susan Meets the Kraken 🦑
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400
This week, we have the conclusion to the current story of the would have been Cinderella who wasn’t – Fearless Susan, who so far has helped a troll with a sword stuck in its foot and rescued a dragon who was trapped under a boulder. She hasn’t felt scared yet, but she has picked up some new friends and special gifts – including the ability to talk to animals and monsters. She’s on her way with her horse Saoirse to the land of the sea queen to see if they can help deal with a kraken (a giant squid) who is breaking all the ships in the harbor.
I'm recovering from laryngitis which you may notice in the intro - just call me a little horse ;)!
