Crushin' It On The Farm

Season 1, Ep. 12

It feels like we just teleported from June to the end of August...where did Summer go? A lot has been happening on the property, so with Jimmy out of town, we had Angelica take a break from The Farm for a seasonal update on the pod! Things are growing, the Tavern is buzzing and the creativity with harvests is insane! Also, a Big Mac with Chicken? We'll try to keep things on the rails with this episode...
