Fainting Goats and Full Hearts: Life at L&B Almosta Farm | Episode #27

In this episode of the GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Pam Marisa, Kent Marisa, and TR Mahle welcome Halie Gallagher, the heart and soul behind L&B Almosta Farm in Waynesburg.

By day, Halie serves our community as a school nurse, but at home, she and her family have cultivated something truly unique: a hobby farm dedicated to rescue, responsibility, and radical generosity. What started with just a few chickens has grown into a bustling sanctuary of over 60 hens, mini-donkeys, and fainting goats.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• The "Almosta" Mission: Why Halie and her husband chose to provide fresh eggs to the community for donations only, teaching their young sons the value of giving back to those in need.

• Rescue & Therapy: The moving stories behind their rescued horses and donkeys, and Halie’s firm belief in the therapeutic power animals have for those facing challenges like Alzheimer’s.

• Hobby Farming 101: Halie shares practical advice for those looking to start their own "slice of heaven," from land requirements to the physical comedy of chasing down 60 chickens!

• A Community Invitation: Their dreams for a future petting zoo and why their gates are open to neighbors who just need a little animal therapy.
