Barn & Soul by Dalby Farm
Welcome to Barn & Soul, a podcast brought to you by Dalby Farm - where we will explore the heart of "pet farm" life, learn about critically populated (if not outright) endangered farm breeds, and highlight the deep connections between animals and humans which we strive to encourage and preserve.
The farm has been Kendall's (your host) family since 1861 but it wasn't always a sanctuary for endangered farm breeds or an educational venue for the community. This podcast will touch upon aspects of the farms history, offer insight and advice as it pertains to owning farm animals as pets- and arguably most importantly - share vital information about these endangered farm breeds; what their roles are in our past AND why they're needed in our future.
New Episodes: Wednesdays at 9PM EST

Barn & Soul Podcast: Episode 11 - Terms of Endangerment: What You Need To Know About "Rare Breeds"
🎙️ Barn & Soul – Where farming meets heart, history, and a mission to preserve the past for a more sustainable future. Episode 11 - Terms of Endangerment: What You Need To Know About "Rare Breeds"
🐐When you hear the word "endangered," you might think of tigers or polar bears. But across quiet pastures and small farms, rare livestock breeds are vanishing — sometimes faster than wildlife. In this episode, we're digging into the lesser-known side of conservation: saving endangered farm animals.
🔹We’ll explore:
-Why these breeds are disappearing
-How organizations classify and protect them
-What it takes to rescue a heritage breed...And why it matters more than ever for food security, culture, and sustainability.
🐓At Dalby Farm, every Arapawa goat, every Ossabaw pig, and every Shetland sheep carries a piece of living history.Saving them means saving the rare, the resilient, and a part of ourselves.
Thanks for being here — and for caring about the rare and wonderful things in life.
