Today I'm talking with Tim at I think it's Guldan Family Farm, but I could be pronouncing it wrong, and he's in Newall, Minnesota. Good afternoon, Tim. How are you? Good afternoon. It's pretty close. We say golden like the golden color, but you know what? We don't know for sure. So as long as it's close to the term, hey you, I answer to it. And it's too and well. 01:23 Yeah, you must be a dad. You must get hey you. I've been a hey you for a long time. Between there was a day at the farmers market a few years ago my wife was actually saying Tim, Tim and then it went to Mr. Golden, Mr. Golden because I was a teacher at the time and then finally she said hey you and I noticed and turned around and I said what do you need? It was a it's a joke that doesn't die anymore. 01:45 Oh, I know. mean, I've had four kids and if they can't get my attention, they're like, hey, and if that doesn't work, say, hey, you. And I turn around and like, why are you being rude? So yeah. I always ask about the weather at the beginning of the episodes, but I don't really need to ask because you're in New Ulm, which is not far from me. And Minnesota is having the first most glorious spring day we've had since last spring. 02:12 It is looking finally like it's here. We had a couple of tease days earlier on, but yeah, today I'm sitting at a beautiful 77 and sunny on a nice calm, maybe two mile an hour breeze day. So I have no complaints in my end. My husband's been outside almost all day and he just put out the open farm fresh eggs farm stand farm stand signs about half an hour ago. Oh, Yep. 02:38 We're very excited. This is the earliest we've had the farm stand open and we've had the farm stand for this is the third year. So this is great. We have we have bedding plants for sale this year. And this is probably the first year since we moved here four and a half years ago that we're going to have asparagus for sale before the farmers market opens. Very nice. Always a happy good day when you have asparagus. Oh my God. This is 03:07 This is the summer we have been waiting for. moved here in August of 2020. And with grand plans to have a farm to market garden and do all the things. And what we didn't take into account is that when you start from scratch, you have to build infrastructure. So that's what the last three years have been spent on. Yeah, there's that minor detail. So this is the summer that we have been. 03:33 working toward for three and a half years. We're so excited. Okay, so this podcast is not about me, but I just had to get that out or a joke on it. Tell me about yourself and what you guys do at your farm. Well, my name is Tim Golden and I'm, we, I am now the proud owner operator of Golden Family Farm. I'm actually the second generation running the vegetable version of this farm. Although the farm itself, excuse me, has been the family since the Homestead Act one way or another. 04:02 And so we're pushing close to 170 years in the family. And as it sits now, I'm operating 25 acres of fruits and vegetables. Very nice. Do you have the, I don't know what it's called. It's a thing they give you when you buy a home that lists the original plot and who signed the paperwork for it. Do you have that for your place? I have, I believe it's. 04:28 I don't know if you'd say it's original, if it's reproduction, but it is a certificate, you know, that has the ...
