My guests this week are John & Sukey Jamison with their new book “Coyotes in the Pasture & Wolves at the Door – Stories and Recipes from our Farm to your Table.”
In 1985, Sukey and John Jamison started a farm business with two mortgages, three kids, and no job. They started raising lambs on grass, developed a mail order business, got discovered by many of the chefs who were fueling the Food Revolution, bought a USDA meat plant, and somehow educated their three kids whom they hoped would support them in their golden years.
Sukey and John relate how they dodged the bullets of under-capitalization, learned how to farm sustainably, and made Jamison Farm Lamb a staple on the menus of the best restaurants in the country. Coyotes in the Pasture and Wolves at the Door includes photos and Sukey’s own recipes.

Beth Bower joins us in the second half to talk about this week’s Kansas re-showing of The KPTS – Channel 8 documentary about pies called “The Pie Way…Kansas Style,” If you didn’t get to see the debut of this video in March of this year you’re in luck. The video will air this week and you can have a chance to purchase the book and the DVD while making a pledge to public broadcasting here in Kansas.
Just came back from a trip to Barcelona and a 14 day Trans Atlantic cruise and we drank a lot of this fine bubbly on the ship. I know Jacob Liquor Exchange on North Rock Road has the Blue Label Nicolas Feuillatte and it’s great, but you have to try this beautiful pink sparkler! Perfect for holiday celebrations or anytime.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
NV Nicolas Fuellette Brut Rosé
The signature of Nicolas Feuillatte; intense, impertinent pleasure! There is simply no other rosé Champagne like this cuvée from Nicolas Feuillatte. Blended from 90% red grapes with a dollop of Chardonnay, this wine explodes in the glass with vivid aromas and flavors of raspberry, strawberry and red currants. This mouthwatering rosé offers fruit-forward flavors of ripe raspberry and cherry, with fresh ginger and blood orange sorbet accents. Refreshing, lively and well-knit. Wine Spectator 91
