Or just buy me a coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lewismaryes 00:00 I'm 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 with Cody at Ryan's Yak Farm in New York. Good morning, Cody. How are you? Good morning. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Where in New York are you and how is the weather? Are you part of the heat bubble that's going on? We are definitely part of the heat bubble. We are in Oxford, New York. 00:29 upstate New York. 00:34 It's a hot, hot, hot day, a hot week. Yeah. Yup. It sure is. um Upstate New York is all the way across New York. what are you, are you West or middle or East upstate? I'm going to say like East. Okay. I'm not really good with demographics. So that's okay. Don't worry about it. 01:02 My parents live in Maine, my husband and I have made the road trip from Minnesota to Maine a couple of times in 20 years we've been together. And we always drive the Northern route in New York and then we drop down to get down to Albany. And it is so beautiful. The grape arbors and I don't even know what else. 01:32 all the rivers that go along the highway and oh my God, coming into Albany, you go basically up a slight incline and then you get to the top of that incline and the whole valley drops out underneath you and all you can see is mountains and trees. So pretty, isn't it? Oh my God. The first time I took my youngest, we took our youngest with us to visit my parents. We came up over that, that hill and the valley dropped out. 02:01 And he's looking from the back seat and I hear this big gasp and he says, he says, mom, can I say a swear word? And I was like, yes. And he said, holy shit, it's so beautiful. How funny. And I'm crying. hadn't been home in years. It is so pretty out here though. Yeah. And he was like, why are you crying? And I was like, you know how you felt like you needed to say a big word you're not allowed to say? He says, yeah. And I said, 02:30 These are the big feelings that I feel like I'm not allowed to feel anymore. uh 02:38 Maine's so pretty too. Oh, it is. It's beautiful. Basically, basically we would hit Pennsylvania and I would be like, ah, I'm back in the land of trees. Yes. You know, cause I mean, Minnesota has trees, but it's very much Northern Minnesota that is like Maine. And so for me to feel like I'm quote unquote home ish. Yeah. I have to drive like five hours to get far enough North to be like, Oh, pine trees, many, many pine trees again. So it's. 03:08 It's hard, but I also love Minnesota. I've been here for over 30 years. I always have to say that because when I first moved here, I moved here kicking and screaming. Oh, really? Did not want to leave Maine. Yeah. And then after about 15, 20 years in Minnesota, I was like, you know, it really is nice here, too. I kind of love it. so I always have to reiterate that I love where I live. I have had the chance twice to move back and I have chosen to not leave. So I do love it here. 03:37 I love Minnesota. It is my second favorite home. So anyway, can you please tell me a little bit about what you do and a little bit about yourself? So I am a teacher during the day. I teach a barbering program at DCMO Boces. It's a career and technical school. It's not part of the cosmetology program. It's totally different. 04:06 the barber side of things. um I also work at a barbershop after I leave school. I go to the barbershop until like seven o'clock at night and then I'm finally able to come home for the farm. And then I'm on weekends. My family does a lot during the week for the farm while I'm not here. Weekends are my time to... 04:33 do everything I want to get done on the farm, spend time with the animals. I didn't grow up on a farm. I married into a farm, here 17 years. We've always had beef. This was my husband's dairy farm. Their family has owned this farm since 1906 and then my husband bought into it. 04:59 There was originally over 428 acres, but it got eventually sold off. And then my husband bought the farm. So, um, I've got three children, 16 year old, 14 year old, and a 12 year old. And we live here on the farm and now, now we're yak farmers. I am so excited to find out about yaks, Cody. I haven't talked about haven't. 05:27 talked to anyone about yaks yet in over two and a half years of doing this podcast. So, they're so good. They're so awesome. Yes. So tell me the different animals you have and then we'll narrow it down to my questions about yaks. What else do you ...
