The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow
Welcome to the Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow, chronicles and lessons from a life tied to family, community and the land. I'm Shannon Hayes, and I own and operate Sap Bush Hollow Farm with three generations of my family in the Northern Catskills of Upstate New York. I'm the chef owner of Sap Bush Cafe, and I'm the author of a few books, including Radical Homemakers and The Grassfed Gourmet. This podcast features my weekly essays, where I explore the adventures of keeping life, business, family, community and fun in the balance.

My mother’s callous attitude about death could come across as shocking to those who didn’t know her. But her views were hard-won, and they’re getting me through the tough work we face here at Sap Bush Hollow. Those of you who’ve known mom and me personally are aware that she raised me to swear like a sailor. To be true to her parenting voice, I’ve employed our natural language here. If you’ve got tender ears within listening range, you might want to slip on some headphones for this episode.
I’m Shannon Hayes, and you’re listening to Season 6, Episode 8 of The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow. Find the transcript for this story on The Radical Homemaker Blog, which is now located at SapBushFarmStore.com.
