Listen "An Old-Fashioned Barn Raising"
Episode Synopsis
Having great neighbors is a true blessing. Around here, we go to them for advice, as well as just an opportunity to sit and visit. All of our neighbors know they are welcome to stop in for a visit.There was a time when being a part of a community was taken very seriously. Folks helped each other with things that took time, strong backs, or projects that would otherwise take weeks or months to complete. This is where barn raisings come into play.But raising a barn doesn’t have to be a literal event. A strong community can easily find other ways to ‘raise a barn’. All it takes is a willing heart, a little ingenuity, and maybe a few tools and a plate of sandwiches. If you are ready to raise some barns in your community, listen in for some ideas you can begin implementing today! Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!
