Azure Farm: Recent Episodes
Azure Farm
Azure Farm is located near the tiny town of Adairsville, Georgia about an hour north of Atlanta. We moved out here and started our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics. Our desire for the frills of the city quickly diminished and was replaced by a love for the countryside. We now love playing with animals, working in the garden, quiet evenings with the sounds of frogs and crickets, and sunny azure sky days. We hope sharing peeks into our daily lives can inspire you to live more of your life outdoors and slow down. Thank you so much for following along our adventures.
It’s been 248 years since America gained full independence from Britain. Like many others, we always enjoy celebrating the 4th of July with family and friends. It’s on these days that we once again realize how fortunate we are to experience true freedom. Unfortunately, for many others around the world, this is not the case.
In this episode, we get a bit more personal, with Annette sharing how her parents lost their freedom in Cuba and years later gained it again when they moved to the USA. Their story has significantly impacted our lives and how we perceive and value freedom, even in the smallest things, such as being able to grow our own food.
But even though we are free to do many things, we sometimes take it all for granted or still feel “trapped.” Come join us as we share a few thoughts on ways to truly enjoy freedom, which you are in total control of.

Last month, we talked about the secrets (or not) of being a supermom. This time, it’s the dad’s turn!
Being a dad is like stepping into the ultimate superhero role. Your kids see you as the one who can fix anything and knows everything. While the roles of men and women have been evolving, allowing men to play a bigger part in raising their kids, being a super dad involves much more than just showing up.
Join us for a fun and insightful chat as Jared shares his experiences as a dad to our wonderful girl, Ava. This episode is not just about stories, but also about practical tips that you can apply in your own fatherhood journey.
Whether you're a new dad, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between, this episode offers valuable insights to help you embrace your role as a superhero in your children's eyes.

Filled with delicious food, family time, and fun activities like hiking, Saturdays, aka Sabbaths, were the norm in both our families. Today, we continue this tradition with our daughter, emphasizing the importance of disconnecting from our hectic lives. The joy, peace, and strength we gain from observing the Sabbath prepare us to face the upcoming week with renewed vigor.
In this episode, we delve into how the Sabbath has enriched our lives and the scientifically proven benefits of treating the Sabbath as a weekly vacation. Rigorous studies show that regular downtime significantly reduces stress, lowers cortisol levels, and improves mood, among other health benefits. All the more reason to rest, don't you think?!
There’s also a fascinating connection between Sabbath and longevity, as evident in Loma Linda, California, a Blue Zone where residents live significantly longer and happier lives.
Come join us as we share tips on how to maximize the Sabbath's benefits to have a true day of rest and reflection, enriching our lives and potentially extending them.

Have you ever tasted something as delicious as a strawberry milkshake made with real, freshly plucked, juicy, in-season strawberries?? Well, let us tell you, friend, it is SO GOOD.
After a visit to a strawberry farm, Jared and Ava decided to turn fresh strawberries into the best milkshakes we've ever tasted! This experience once again reminded us of the profound difference in taste and quality when enjoying in-season produce.
Moving to the countryside transformed our lifestyle and diet, inspiring us to grow our own veggies and embrace local, seasonal foods. Seasonal eating means enjoying fruits and vegetables at their peak nutritional value and flavor, harvested just as nature intended.
In this episode, we explore the numerous benefits of eating seasonally, from fresher and more nutritious food to cost savings, environmental advantages, and supporting local farmers. Learn practical tips on how to source local produce, even if you live in the city, and discover ways to preserve your favorite seasonal fruits and veggies to enjoy all year round.
Join us as we delve into the joys and benefits of eating with the seasons and get inspired to make delicious, nutritious choices that align with nature's rhythm!

85% of Americans struggle with self-doubt, the feeling that they don't feel enough about some aspect of their lives or themselves. Are you part of this 85%? Do you have an inner critical voice that holds you back or makes you believe you are not good enough? We sure do!
In this podcast episode, we journey into the depths of self-criticism, a challenge that impacts the lives of so many, including us. We'll explore how self-doubt and anxiety can cast a shadow over our mental and physical well-being.
We share our personal stories of wrestling with our inner critics and how, through vulnerability and introspection, we discovered the toxic nature of this self-doubt and the pivotal step of unmasking its origins to reclaim control over our lives.
Together, we'll uncover practical strategies for liberation—embracing intentional living, fostering gratitude, and cultivating forgiveness. These tools have been game-changers in our journey of silencing the inner critic and finding a path to fulfillment and joy.

Let’s talk about the myth of the Supermom. You know, that idea of a mother who effortlessly manages to juggle work, family, and home with perfection, never showing a hint of stress or fatigue. But let's be real, can any of us truly answer yes to all those criteria?
The truth is, there's no such thing as a superhero mother. No Supermom. Sure, we might see glimpses of this ideal in movies, fairy tales, or on social media, but it's just that—a fleeting image, not reality.
So, what does it take to be a "Supermom" in the real world? Join us in this episode as we share our thoughts on being the best mom you can be and busting the myth of being a supermom.

In this week's episode, we’re going old-school and talking about something close to Annette’s heart: the art of canning food!
I've developed a passion for this age-old tradition, inspired by memories of my Aunt Marty's West Virginia home, where shelves were adorned with rows of canned goods. What began as a childhood fascination has evolved into a cornerstone of my homesteading lifestyle, bringing joy and a sense of connection to the food I grow.
Despite the convenience of store-bought options, home canning is a testament to our desire for freshness, flavor, food security, and control over what we eat. And let’s not forget the pure satisfaction of enjoying a delicious jam on toast that you have made yourself or gifting a loved one with homemade applesauce!
It’s true that busy lifestyles, safety concerns, inexperience, and the convenience of commercial alternatives may keep you from trying home canning, but the rewards are so worth the effort, friend!
Home canning isn't just about preserving food; it's about preserving traditions, fostering community, and embracing a way of life that honors our connection to the land and offers a comforting reminder of simpler times.
Join us in this episode as we discuss this big passion of mine and share how anyone can discover the joys of and master the art of home canning!

So, a while back, I picked up this book called "Breath" by James Nestor, and let me tell you, it totally took my breath away😏 . Picture this: I'm on a plane next to Annette, trying out these breathing techniques from the book, and I must've looked like a complete lunatic! But you know what? I felt like I was floating on cloud nine, realizing in just five minutes that I'd been breathing all wrong my entire life.
Nestor's book dives deep into the art of breathing, showing how it's not just about staying alive but about living healthy. He lays out how our breath—whether it's through our nose or mouth, fast or slow—affects everything from our longevity to our blood pressure and overall health.
It's wild to think how something as simple as breathing through your nose instead of your mouth can make such a huge difference. Nestor explains how our modern diet and habits have turned us into a society of mouth-breathers, leading to issues like sleep apnea and reduced oxygen flow to our brains.
But there's hope! By relearning how to breathe, we can unlock a whole new level of health and vitality. In this episode, we share practical tips and exercises to help you master the art of breathing and rediscover the power of breath. Trust us; it's a game-changer for your health that you won't want to miss.

As a married couple, we have always believed in maintaining our independence, nurturing our own interests, and, yes, having our own circle of friends. Don't get us wrong, our marriage is our priority, but we've seen firsthand how friendships outside of it can add so much richness to our lives.
Friendships can have a major impact on your health and well-being. And not just your own well-being but the well-being of your marriage or romantic relationship.
Your spouse will not always meet all of your needs. It is important to try to get your needs met in other ways as well, instead of depending on your partner and then feeling disappointed in their ability to always meet your needs.
In this podcast, we're diving into why these friendships are more than just a nice-to-have. From boosting your mental and physical health to helping you weather life's storms, friends are our support system. Plus, they keep things interesting, offering fresh perspectives and encouraging us to chase our passions.
Join us as we explore the myriad benefits of fostering friendships outside of marriage. After all, a happy marriage is built on a foundation of happy, fulfilled individuals - and having friends outside of it is a key ingredient to that recipe.

In a world where we invest a significant portion of our lives at work, finding fulfillment in our careers is essential for overall happiness and well-being. But it can be a tough one to achieve…
Let’s be honest: work is always going to be work. Wouldn’t we all love to be able to work only for two hours a week and do something we love the rest of the time, like petting donkeys?!
Did you know that only 20% of all US employees are passionate about their jobs?
That is very disheartening.
Whether you're just starting your career journey or looking to reignite your passion in your current job, understanding how to align your interests, skills, strengths, and values with your work is paramount.
It can greatly benefit your career in terms of fulfillment and overall satisfaction, which will spill over to all other aspects of your life.
Join us as we delve into the nuances of career fulfillment and explore practical strategies to align your work with your passions, values, and aspirations.

When or where should you save or splurge? What do you value enough to spend your hard-earned cash on?
This is one tiff or debate that often surfaces in the Thurmon household. And we know we are not the only couple with differing opinions regarding what to spend money on!
For me (Jared), I hate buying new clothes. I am perfectly happy wearing 20-year-old T-shirts with holes in them. But when I dine out, I have no issue splurging on 5 appetizers and two to three dishes just to try new things.
I, Annette, hate it when people (especially fancy hotels!) skimp on toilet paper that feels like sandpaper on your bottoms! I would also much rather serve our chickens delicious, out-of-season blueberries, than replace my 18-year old mixing bowls!
More than 2 in 5 (42%) Americans say they treat themselves monthly, while 21% indulge in non-essential spending at least weekly. A staggering 74 percent of Americans prioritize experiences over products.
That’s not surprising, as studies have found that spending money on experiences brings more lasting joy than spending money on things.
Join us as we chat about the benefits of prioritizing experiences over material possessions and how to decide when to splurge and when to save on a purchase or activity!

This topic has been on our minds lately: the art of knowing when to let go.
When we first ventured into farm life, we were bursting with excitement and ambition, eager to take on everything that came our way. One of our dreams? Alpacas. I mean, who could resist those adorable, fluffy creatures? So, naturally, we got some! But, as we soon discovered, raising alpacas isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
Despite having a top-notch vet by our side, we faced heartbreak as several of our alpacas fell ill and passed away, leaving one, Opal, alone. It was a tough call, but we knew it was time to let go. So, after seven years, we said our goodbyes to Percy and found a new home for Opal.
Our farm life experiences got us thinking: knowing when to let go isn't just crucial in the barnyard; it's a valuable skill for navigating real life too.
Whether it's a business venture, a relationship, or a personal project, sometimes holding on too tightly can do more harm than good. We've learned the hard way that recognizing our limits and knowing when to say no or walk away is essential for our well-being.
In this episode, we're getting real about our own struggles with letting go and sharing some hard-earned wisdom along the way.
So, join us as we explore the art of knowing when to say, "This isn't working," and how to find the courage to let go.
We also love to hear from you! Ask us anything about this topic. And if you don’t mind, we will share and discuss it anonymously on this podcast with fellow listeners! Text your question or message to (310) 879-8441.

City life versus country living - which reigns supreme?
Of course, it comes down to personal preference, but in our very biased opinion ;-), country living wins by a long shot!
As two former city dwellers turned countryside enthusiasts, a few years ago, we swapped bustling streets for serene landscapes and skyscrapers for endless azure skies.
Did you know that since 9/11 and the COVID pandemic, there's been a surge in Americans moving to rural areas, seeking refuge from urban chaos? With nearly half of Americans now preferring small-town charm over city hustle, it's clear: the call of the wild is stronger than ever.
But what makes country living so irresistible? Is it the fresh air, wide-open spaces, or the joy of growing your own vegetables? We explore the magic of countryside simplicity, from starry nights to homegrown tomatoes.
Yet, it's not all idyllic sunsets and peaceful pastures. Country living demands hard work and unwavering commitment. But fear not; whether you're a city slicker yearning for greener pastures or a country pumpkin at heart, the simple life is within reach! And we want to tell you how!
Join us as we uncover the joys, challenges, and endless possibilities of embracing the countryside mindset.
Where do you stand? Are you drawn to the city lights or dreaming of chickens and green pastures? Tune in and share your thoughts with us!

Have you ever been dragged into something reluctantly, only to come out completely blown away?
Well, that's exactly what happened to me (Annette) when Jared convinced me to attend this mysterious “retreat” up in Canada, which he attended last year. I was skeptical, to say the least, but let me tell you, it was a game-changer!
In our latest episode, we spill the beans (well, sort of!) on this life-altering experience and unpack the importance of self-discovery. We reflect on how the retreat forced us to give ourselves the time we deserve and understand our deepest desires and values.
We also dive into what it really means to love your neighbor as yourself and the nuances of genuine compassion and empathy, sharing some eye-opening realizations along the way.
Do you ever think about what it's like to be on the receiving end of your own kindness?
Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of self-reflection, friendship, and trust, and uncover the profound meaning behind those simple but impactful words from Mark 12:31.

New year, new beginnings. We have all heard this saying a thousand times before.
But while we all go into the new year with new aspirations, dreams, and goals, are we truly committed to them? Do we really know what gets us out of bed each morning, propelling us into the day with purpose and enthusiasm? Are we prepared to do what it takes to reach our goals?
When we started our homestead journey, this is how it went for us: Yeah, we moved to a farm, we can do all these wonderful things! Jared, please build me a chicken coop. Oh, wait, I think we need a few animal shelters for the alpacas. Or maybe we should start our garden beds. No, actually, put in our fruit trees first.
See where we’re going with this? We had so many plans and ideas but no clearly set goals and a plan of action on how to accomplish them.
And this is often the case with our personal dreams, aspirations, and goals.
Join us, Jared and Annette, as we explore the motivations that fuel ambitions, the power of goals in shaping lives, and effective strategies for setting your goals and actually achieving them.
At the end of this episode, you’ll be clearer than you have ever been on how to finally reach your goals and make you excited about the year ahead!

Welcome to our new yet not-so-new podcast!
Let’s rewind it a bit, shall we?
It all started with two city lovers - a risk-taker entrepreneur and a more conservative rapid-response nurse (although she did venture into the exciting world of designing wedding gowns!)
They fell deeply in love, pursued all sorts of careers and business ventures, got married, yearned for a slower pace of life, started searching for the perfect piece of land, waited six years to find one, got pregnant soon after, and started their podcast a week after their little girl arrived.
Ok, so that is the short version! And, of course, we are talking about us, Jared and Annette.
Fast forward 10 years, and here we are today, surrounded by our #happyfarmily of chickens, donkeys, alpacas, goats, and more, making our podcast bigger and better for you.
We have a passion for healthy relationships and getting the most out of life, and want to share it all with you.
Come listen to our full story on how we got here, and join us as we take on this wild but amazing ride called life!
Next week, we’ll dive into how the power of goal setting can shape your life and share some strategies on how to achieve your new year's goals.

Azure Farm is located just outside the tiny town of Adairsville, Georgia - about an hour north of Atlanta. We moved out here and started our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics. The rat race and the hustle and bustle were quickly replaced by a love for gardening, harvesting food, quiet evenings with the sounds of crickets, and sunny azure sky days.

You should have seen it this past Sunday. Instincts kicked in, spit was on the ground, mud paste was in hand ready to save the day...ok well something like that.
We went on a road trip...and we are starting to think leaving your animals behind is more work than is advertised. But we learned a few things along the way.
One of the greatest joys of gardening is the harvest. But Jared got to experience this on a whole new level this past week.
To prepare or not to prepare that is ....usually not a question we ask. Instead we realize 'oh boy we are unprepared'. Here's some of our thoughts on being prepared and staying that way.
We lost our cat...then we found our cat. But in that middle time wow we were all over the place with our emotions. Why is it so easy to think negative rather than holding on to hope?
It never hurts to check in and make sure someone or something is doing alright. We are learning this lesson more and more here on the farm.
We assumed we had it all figured out. Then our tomatoes started having all these crazy issues. What happened?!
If you're ready to have some fun, this episode is for you. If you want to learn about what's going on with the ground under our feat and the importance of soil - you will want to listen.
We made it to 100 episodes!!! Let the party begin. Annette wants to share about her demolition derby passion and how she likes to destroy vehicles. You won't want to miss it :)
Friends - they make life all the better. But how do you know if you have a good friend? How do you know if you are a good friend?
Persistence vs. Perseverance - Do you know the difference? Our cat Havana has taught us the difference as of late and we want to share our newfound truth with you...oh and how we have declared war with Havana - our cat.
Annette loves to plan things out and be totally prepared. Jared is a fan of winging it. So as you could guess this has made for some fun on the farm. This past week the fun ensued with a phone call late at night about our Alpacas.
We can put things off thinking that tomorrow will be just as easy as today but then....what happens when we get totally caught off guard and unprepared. That happened to us this week. Here's the story....
We are hatching some Sebastopol Geese eggs right now and its teaching us alot about patience...like a whole lot.
Why do people leave all the conveniences of modern life to go live with chickens in the middle of nowhere? Many reasons of course - here are some of ours.
We had the privilege to take over an IG account for the day and the request was to talk about love and relationships. We had some fun recording and discussing.
Sometimes beauty is just below the surface and needs a little more tender loving care to discover.
I had a moment this week that I thought was terrible yet became beautiful. I want to share it with you today. - Annette
How many times do we complain when something goes wrong but we took that very thing for granted the day before? Here's our story on that very thing.
At the beginning of the year we often make resolutions. But we recently decided that instead of resolutions, we needed to get organized and clean up. We are learning a few things along the way.
Life sometimes takes us down what seems like a dead end path. But is it? We realize that every experience we've had somehow prepares us for something later in life.
What happens when you put your hope and joy in things, experiences or ideas? is there anything that can be lasting rather than fleeting? Join us for our adventure through chaos to learn this lesson.
Every farm has some drama. But what happens when you feel overwhelmed by it? The last few months have taught us alot about how to find what works for us...and perhaps we can help you see what works best for you.
Have we got an adventure for you! Its the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house...there was not cat named Georgia - because she locked herself in the car. Here's the adventure.
I had the pleasure to sit down with Liz Marie from Cozy Cottage @lizmariegalvan and talk about her new book and my favorite thing - her new alpacas!!! This was such a fun interview.
So it only took us 15 years to figure out how to show love or feel love - but once we figured it out, we started rolling on the floor laughing. Let us explain :)
So Annette decided it was time for a new coop. That mean asking Jared to tear down the old one and bring in the new. Easier said than done. Here's the adventure in every fun detail.
What do you do when all is not rainbows and unicorns? Can we prepare for trials before they happen?
We had the joy of sitting down with the ladies over at Portage View Farm. This was so much fun. We are like their biggest fans!!!
We celebrated our 15 year anniversary and went to Miami and ate like kings. But along the way well lets just say some interesting things happened :)
There are so many details to food storage, but how do you make it simple and sustainable?
Fist Bump or Fist Pump? We get down to the science on healthy living and whether Annette or Jared is right.
Sometimes slowing down gives us more benefits long term than the quick often more go to option. How do we find our groove and feel satisfied even if its not at the pace of others?
Fall - Annette thinks it's the most wonderful time of the year. Jared thinks he knows why :)
Why all the craze about making farmlife beautiful? Is it really all pretty or should the ugly side be talked about more too?
It's one thing to interact with animals and plants but why does it seem like interacting with humans is much harder - especially if the interaction is less than enjoyable? How do we go above and beyond to make these interactions remarkable?
We had no idea what we were missing until we started to learn about companion planting. I mean could it be possible that planting a variety of plants near each other could help all of them grow better and resist pests and perhaps even disease better? Yes and here's our story.
We didn't know what we were missing until we got a greenhouse. We built ours out of scrap windows and on the side of our barn. Here are some things we learned along the way.
We had the joy of sitting down with Lisa Steele who shares her passion about why everyone should be raising chickens and the joys of it all.
Who's ready to garden? We are so excited to try some new things in the garden this year. But yes we are growing a ton of maters.

Azure Farm is located near the tiny town of Adairsville, Georgia about an hour north of Atlanta. We moved out here and started our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics. Our desire for the frills of the city quickly diminished and was replaced by a love for gardening.
We now love playing with animals, quiet evenings with the sounds of frogs and crickets, and sunny azure sky days. We hope sharing peeks into our daily lives can inspire you to live more of your life outdoors and slow down. Thank you so much for following along our adventures.
