Ep 209 Clover Brooke Farm: We Love Leaping Llamas – But Today We’ll Just Walk
Listen now
Description
Andrea Tibbets of Clover Brooke Farm is our guest on today’s podcast.  We usually see her at the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival (Rhinebeck), but since at that fine event we see her running the Camelid Barn and running the Leaping Llama contest and running the Spitters’ Club and…well, just plain running, we decided it was way past time to visit her home turf.  For a walk. One of the most peaceful things you can do, we found, is to take a hike through Hyde Park with a llama on a leash.  It sounds like something for people with way too much time on their hands, but were schooled about 10 minutes in, when Zen and an overall feeling of wellbeing descended.  We are converted, and will recommend a camelid stroll to anyone who just need a little bit of peace.  Peace, with a tippy tappy song in our hearts, that is.   Links: https://cloverbrookefarm.com/ https://sheepandwool.com/events/competitions-shows/leaping-llamas/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhapsody_in_Blue https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043278/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1   Support the show
