Good. You're melting in the sun, but trying to stay cool. Yeah, we were going through that yesterday. I said this on an interview this morning that I did, but I will say it again because it was ridiculous. We have central air in our house and it was set for 72 degrees. It got to 77 degrees in my house at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. 00:58 Yeah. Yeah. My dog was laying on the floor panting. I'm like, oh, this is bad. What kind of dog do you have? She's a mini Australian shepherd. Oh, cute, cute. We have a Great Dane. Oh, well, they're very different sizes, but I bet they're just as lovey. I bet they're on the same love scale. Yes. OK, so how did your farm get its name? So when I was a kid, I watched the movie 01:27 Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? It came out in 2000. Have you seen it? I have not. I keep meaning to find it and I just never get around to it. It's a worthwhile movie and the song, Bad Bottom Girls, you know, is in it. And the movie is about these guys that escape from jail and it's like a story of redemption, finding yourself. 01:58 and really like prioritizing your self-well-being. And it just resonated for me for a long time. And so when we developed our mini farm, it became a little bit of a play on words because we had chickens first and, you know, the layered chickens have very heavy bottoms. And then we got into bees and all the worker bees are female. And it's just kind of snowballed into our 02:27 our farm name. love it. it who what band did the Fat Bottom Girls song? Queen. Yeah, that's what I thought. But I wasn't sure. I didn't want to sound like a total idiot. Okay, cool. That is very cute. I love that story. So tell me about yourselves and what you do at Fat Bottom Girls Mini Farm. Sure. So my name is Larkin and we are I would consider ourselves 02:56 first generation homesteaders. It started as a hobby, you know, in the backyard before we had our first child. And that was around 2015 or 16 when we first got chickens and I was a zookeeper, worked with birds at our local AZA zoo. So I'm very fond of birds. And I decided I wanted to bring them to our 03:25 backyard and Kevin is a good sport. So he was like, all right, know, eggs for the kitchen. Great. And then as we got into more gardening and, and planting our own crops in our backyard, we decided that this was like a really great, sustainable, uh, an empowering hobby. Um, and so we've just been taking like small approximations until we're 03:54 where we are today, we have like a dairy cow. We do homeschooling as of this year and we do take advantage a lot of our public land for hunting. And we just try and be as self-sustainable as possible without making it overwhelming. And so that's kind of how we got started. 04:23 How much land do you guys have? So we have a family farm and it was built for horses. My mom is an equestrian. She breeds Grand Prix jumpers and then they show on the circuit here in Florida and they travel around the country. So we have probably about 17 acres and our farm is now down to two retired 04:52 horses that we ride for pleasure and the rest of the farm has been made available to us for our our creatures. Nice. And what do you have for creatures? We have chickens, quail, changing list, ducks, geese, a cow. We have a couple of horses and that's it. We have a rabbit. 05:22 for our composting needs. He lives a life of luxury. Yeah, we have the whole menagerie. And so are you using, I don't know how to ask this correctly. I never asked it right. Is anything on the farm produced to support the farm? 05:46 Oh, so we do sell our extras, if that makes sense. So we really produce for ourselves and for our family. if we have... Go ahead. Well, Kyle's making what? About a gallon a day or so? Gallon, gallon and half of milk a day? Yeah. We use that to make a lot of ghee. And then if we have some leftover milk or... 06:14 Even occasionally we'll sell some ghee or butter. It's just the butter and the ghee...
