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.

If we could, Bob and I would continue operating our cafe together forever. But we’re realizing, much as we love the work, that if we don’t start transitioning our skills, the cafe will only last as long as our knees and feet will hold up. If it’s going to last forever, it has to stand without us. And that brings it’s own travails to our hearts and minds. I’m Shannon Hayes, and you’re listening to Season 7, Episode 7 of The Hearth of Sap Bush Hollow. Find the transcript of this story over on the blog.
