In this episode 83, we chat about raising beef and dairy cows, blood bread and modern food, and we continue our discussion on Community vs. Society. 

In episode 84, we discuss the gift that is Community, Nature, Grace, & Original Sin, farming in reparation to God, the uselessness of smartphones, and the virtue of pork chops.
