Hey guys, what is up and welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast.

I'm your host, Jessica Sauerz.

My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too.

I'm so glad you're here today listening to my podcast where we talk about all things,

homesteading, gardening, growing food, raising it, enjoying it, sharing it,

preparing it, preserving it, as well as just living in mindful relationship with each other

and with the earth. Once again today, I have a very special guest here on the podcast. My friend

Daniel Smith is joining me. What's up?

We posted a podcast a couple of weeks ago where he and I talked about his journey to moving here to South Carolina. We've been friends for a lot of years. And he has recently

relocated from Alabama to South Carolina, or as we say, from Bami to South Kakalaki. And he is here to roast coffee

for us for Bueller Roasting Co, our roastery that we're currently in the process of getting launched.

And he shared a lot. We shared a lot about kind of the background of our friendship and what led to here got a good

response and at the end of that we talked about how we were going to go ahead and record another

one so here here that is we actually did not record it the same day but we're back and today

we want to talk a little bit about music and the garden.

Yes.

So these might not seem like related topics to everyone.

But in our friendship, music and the garden go hand in hand.

Absolutely.

You sure has.

And I thought we could just kind of ramble into some conversation here.

And I don't know.
