Speaker 1
How is the work and how things were on the farm?
Speaker 2
Work is really good. The farm, however, is enjoyable but hard. How are you and your husband?
Speaker 1
Farming is a lot of work from what I've heard. You have to rise very early in the morning and do lots of grueling, physical labor. My husband and I are good. He's getting a lot of legal cases lately and I'm doing my yoga thing, so we're getting by well.
Speaker 2
Oh no! I hope that the added stress from work doesn't get in the way of your personal life too much. How is living in L.A. been for you?
Speaker 1
I do work very hard, but doing yoga itself relieves stress, which helps. I feel better now that I cut meats and animal products out of my diet, and I have the occasional glass of wine for physical and mental health. L.A. is great except for the insane traffic!
Speaker 2
I have been meaning to switch to a vegan diet but it is a big transition. Have you noticed that your health improved once you cut out meat and dairy out of your diet? I've heard that a vegan diet improves the odds of getting pregnant.
Speaker 1
I noticed that my body felt cleaner and my mind was sharper a couple of weeks after the transition. I didn't know that being vegan would help me to conceive. I really want a kid badly!
Speaker 2
I really hope that it happens for you. Maintaining good health will definitely help. I had my kids during a time when I would be going to the gym everyday.
Speaker 1
Thank you. How are your son and daughters doing?
Speaker 2
They are good! The little one is going to start preschool next week so here's hoping that she likes it. They really did enjoy seeing you at our anniversary party.
Speaker 1
I'm sure you're excited to see the little tyke start school. I loved seeing your kids, too. It was really fun throwing the baseball with your son.
Speaker 2
They like to call you Aunt Sarah and have been asking if they could go visit you since you've mentioned that you have a pool in your house.

Speaker 1
It's been a little while! Are you ready for your little one to be in preschool! It's amazing how the time flies! One minute they are born and the next minute they are starting school. How is the farm doing?
Speaker 2
I'm not ready at all. She grew up too fast! The farm is doing well. The animals are healthy and the crops are growing quite fast!
Speaker 1
Between the children, the farm and your job, how do you ever find time for yourself?
Speaker 2
I don't actually. And it's a little worrying. It's bad I don't have any me time right?
Speaker 1
Maybe you should think again about taking up yoga!  It does help reduce stress.  How is the job going? 
Speaker 2
I know they say it reduces stress, but not being able to do some of the poses makes me more stressed. Business is really good, problem is I am making enough money on the farm to quit, but I really like the job. Not sure what to do
Speaker 1
I guess you will have to decide if it's worth the extra time if you really don't need the money.  Or maybe hire more help on the farm?
Speaker 2
But I love the farm work too. Hmm maybe I need to think about this. You really think yoga helps? Do you have any room in your classes?
Speaker 1
Sure, I can fit you in to one of the beginner classes.  You should find that a lot easier to adapt to.  And yes it definitely helps!
Speaker 2
Ok, sign me up! When is the next beginner class?
Speaker 1
I have one that starts in 2 weeks!  I'll reserve a spot for you!
Speaker 2
Fantastic. I will be there. I'll commit to a few classes because I am pretty sure my stress won't go away after one class

My son has a baseball game tonight, would you like to join?
Speaker 2
I've got to tend o my farm tonight, but perhaps another time! Good luck to your son.
Speaker 1
farm? that sounds exciting! Where is the farm located?
Speaker 2
I have a farm business that I work on, on my property. It is a passion of mine.
Speaker 1
Wow, that must be fun. My son loves farm animals, especially feeding the chickens. What do you enjoy the most  working in the farm?
Speaker 2
That's so cute! I'm thinking about getting chickens. I enjoy the reward that comes after all the work. I've had a good season with tomatoes this year, so having lots of tomatoes is cool.
Speaker 1
Nice, what do you plan on doing with those tomatoes? If I were you, I would make some yummy tomato sauce. You must be lucky, you get to have all the  fresh organic produce. 
Speaker 2
That's a great idea, thank you! I haven't had tomato sauce in a while. It's nice to use produce from my farm. Do you have any local farms to buy produce from?
Speaker 1
No we actually don't, but sometimes on the weekends we have local street vendors sell fresh produce from local farmers
Speaker 2
Awesome! I often feel like they sell the freshest varieties. What's your favorite fresh produce?
Speaker 1
Cucumbers and avocados are delicious! I also love the fruits they sell like their apples are always sweeter. 
Speaker 2
I love all of those! Cucumbers are my favorite vegetable. I'm sure your son likes the sweet apples. Is he excited for his game tonight?

Speaker 1
How are the tomatoes coming along? Do you know when they will be ready for harvest? You mentioned you hadn't had tomato sauce in a while!
Speaker 2
They are doing really good! I think I will not only make tomato sauce, but I will have enough for homemade salsa too! They won't be ripe for awhile yet, but they are looking really good! Hoping the weather stays friendly for all my produce! I'm sure you are too! How has it been by you?
Speaker 1
It's been crazy hot lately but I guess I'm used to it. Homemade salsa sounds delicious. Do you make it spicy?
Speaker 2
Hot here too but not oppressive. No, I try not to get it too spicy, cause I like to share it. I figure if people want it spicier they can add some jalepeno to it!! With so much growing on the farm, I am thinking more and more about being a vegan. Do you ever miss meat though?
Speaker 1
Sometimes, yes. Don't tell!!!! I do miss it but some of the plant-based "meat" is really tasty. You have to get used to the texture, which is slightly different, but the taste is good. I like to make meals with lots of vegetables, the more colorful the better. You could always start working the vegan meals into your regular meals and switch over gradually. I could give you some good recipes.
Speaker 2
You know, in the summer my diet is mostly produce, just because I'm so busy and it's too hot to cook and I think...ya, I can be a vegan. Then winter comes and I'm like...awww give me a good roast beef!! Maybe I'll be a seasonal vegan! Ha! 
Speaker 1
Well if you are doing it for health, that's still not a bad idea! I agree, produce in the summer is the best. I have a recipe I'm dying to try with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil. I can send you the recipe since you have all those tomatoes!!
Speaker 2
Oh that would be wonderful! My family is always up for something new from the kitchen! Maybe I can even get the kids to help me! Thank you!
Speaker 1
Do your kids like to help in the kitchen? I used to love helping my mom cook.
Speaker 2
Yes, they do! I'll tell you what, you send me your recipe and I'll send you one for a good apple pie! I know how you love your apples!!
Speaker 1
That sounds great... apple pie is one of my favorites. I have been trying to make the crust from scratch but I don't do a great job. 
Speaker 2
Ya, the crust can be tricky, but you know, those premade ones in the store aren't all that bad. I think you'll enjoy this recipe. Try it and let me know what you think!
