You're in Ohio, right? I am right in central Ohio, right outside of Columbus. How do you pronounce the name of your town? Pataskala. It's a popular question. Yeah, I was looking at your Facebook page and your About page and I was like, I have no idea how to say that one. Pataskala, Ohio. We're about 20 minutes outside of Columbus. Pretty convenient location and... 01:05 Easy to get to wherever you need to go, but still in the country, which is really nice. Yes, yes. 20 minutes to actual stores helps when you really need something. Is it raining in Ohio? Because it's raining in Minnesota this morning. It is not. We got some storms yesterday, but we're hoping it does rain today because we are in a massive heat wave. We're a heat index of 100. So everything right now is how do we keep the animals cool? 01:34 We're trying to work through this heat wave and hoping for a little rain actually. Yeah. How long has it been super hot for you? This whole week. So, but since maybe Friday last week. we've got a week straight of hundred degree index, heat index. So, and then before that it rained so much, we couldn't get it to stop. And now it's just dry and hot. So you can't get a good mix. It's all, it's one way or the other. That's it. 02:04 You can't win. Yeah, I know. I feel really bad for complaining about the fact that it was so hot this past weekend in Minnesota because we only had really hot for two days. a whole week of it, I would have been ripping my hair out by now. So. Well, yesterday was supposed to be the end of the heat index and then they have extended it now through, through Saturday. So just doing what we can to stay cool. am so sorry. It's no fun. 02:34 Okay, so tell me a little bit about yourself and about your farm because I can't wait to hear this story. Well, I'm Gina and my husband is Richard. We have two boys. They are ages 10 and 11. And then two years ago, we also inherited a daughter, a bonus daughter. She was 20 and 03:01 parents had both passed away in the same weekend. She spent the night with us and never left. we've got we've got a bonus daughter that's going to be 22 as well that that lives with us. And my mother-in-law lives here too. And so we have a little multi generational home and I work full time and my husband works full time too. So he's a data assessment coordinator at at Reynoldsburg schools here in Ohio. 03:31 And I work full time as a regional sales manager for an education software company. So I manage our entire Northeast territory and all of Canada. I teach jazzercise on the side when I'm not recovering from ACL surgery as I am now. Yeah, I was going to ask you about that because it said something about that you didn't realize you would be bottle feeding lamb. Oh, yeah. When you were down. 03:58 ACL surgery two weeks ago, delivered a goat on Sunday sitting with my brace on the floor of our barn and then had creamy twin sheep and lost one and have had a house sheep for the last two weeks as well. So farming from my couch friend, farming from my couch. the animals don't wait unless you're dead. Unless you're dead, you're working. Yeah. 04:25 Exactly. So it has been adventurous here. tell me about how the farm got started because I get the impression that wasn't the original plan. 04:39 No, it was not. So when COVID happened, we were living in a suburb where my husband was invincible and it just was not good. And our kids were stuck in this postage stamp size yard and we just wanted more space for them to run. And so we had decided then that we were going to get some land where the boys could go outside and run. 05:08 play. And so we started looking for like two to four acres. And long story short, long story short, we were looking for two to four acres and the day before we went to look at properties, this 10 acre property popped up.
