    Episode 11 || A farm needs more than a truck and a cow

    In this week's episode, Pop gives us more details about his experience living within a family of four on the small farm that his dad purchased in BZ Corners during his adolescence in the late 1940s. They started with nothing more than a truck camper tent leveled out on lava-blocks, and a few small bedrooms built with the help of Grandpa Jess Hepler. Hear about outhouse dilemmas, learning to drive tractor on a 1926 Iron-Wheeled Fordson, and moving his bed out to the end of the grove during the summers to enjoy some solace and spiritual contentedness.
