Ep 210 Steve Montgomery: …and We’ll Leave the Lamppost on for Ya
Listen now
Description
Steve Montgomery of Lamppost Farm is our guest on today’s podcast, coming to you from a stop on the Devon Congress pre-tour - Columbiana, Ohio style this time.  Steve and his family raise Devon Cattle, Coopworth Sheep, pigs, turkeys and a partridge in a pear tree (okay, no partridges, but there are more chickens than you can safely count).  Their goal is to make and teach connections between living things, but the annual flock of Lamppost interns can tell you that they learn how to do the sweaty part on the farm as well.   These are just plain good solid people who open up their hearts and farm to those in need, wanting to make a difference.  As the Narnia bunch would tell you, when life gets rough, it’s always lovely to have someone who’s willing to leave the lamppost burning so others can find their way home.  C.S. Lewis would be proud.   Links: http://www.lamppostfarm.com/ https://whatnerd.com/movies-with-hidden-meanings-deeper-metaphors/ https://iep.utm.edu/plato/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato https://historycooperative.org/norse-mythology/ https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/ https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/apollo/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._Lewis https://www.cnn.com/style/article/keep-calm-poster/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien   Support the show
