>> VISITING WITH HUELL HOWSER IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A GENEROUS GRANT FROM... [CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY KCET PUBLIC TELEVISION] Huell Howser: WELL, HELLO, EVERYBODY, I'M HUELL HOWSER, AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT LIVING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE THE PLACES WE ALL GET TO GO, THE EXPERIENCES WE HAVE, THE PEOPLE WE MEET, THE STORIES WE HEAR.

FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW I'M IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ANYWHERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

I'M HERE JUST ABOUT EVERY SUNDAY MORNING.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THERE GREAT FOOD HERE, BUT THERE ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE HERE AS WELL.

AND I HAVE KIND OF A ROUTINE WHEN I COME DOWN HERE.

NOW, MY FIRST STOP IS ALWAYS RIGHT HERE.

I ALWAYS CHECK IN WITH TOMAS.

NOW, TOMAS AND I FIRST MET--HOW MANY YEARS AGO, TOMAS?

>> 15 YEARS AGO.

Huell: 15 YEARS AGO.

WE WERE UP IN FILLMORE.

I DID A PROGRAM ON THE PLACE WHERE YOU WORK-- LILY'S EGGS.

LILY'S FARM.

THEY SPECIALIZE IN FREE-RANGE CHICKENS.

HEALTHY, HAPPY CHICKENS THAT PRODUCE WONDERFUL, HEALTHY, HAPPY EGGS.

RIGHT?

>> YES, IT IS RIGHT.

Huell: AND LILY'S FARM IS STILL GOING STRONG.

>> YES.

Huell: THE CHICKENS ARE STILL HAPPY.

>> IT'S GOOD.

THEY ARE THE HAPPIEST IN THE LAND, STILL.

Huell: THE EGGS ARE STILL GOOD.

>> RIGHT.

Huell: AND WE ALWAYS KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE CONVERSATION TOGETHER.

WE ALWAYS KIND OF GET AN UPDATE ON HOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND THE CHICKENS ARE DOING.

>> RIGHT.

Huell: ALL RIGHT.

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ALWAYS MY FIRST STOP, BUT THE OTHER DAY, SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT HAPPENED.

GOT THROUGH VISITING WITH TOMAS AND HIS EGGS, AND I WALKED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE NEXT LITTLE STAND, AND AS I WAS WALKING BY, WHAT DID YOU DO, MIGUEL?

>> I OFFER YOU A PEACH.

Huell: YOU HANDED ME A PEACH.

LET'S RECREATE THAT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

Huell: AND YOU SAID THEY WERE THE JUICIEST PEACHES I'D EVER EATEN.

>> NO DOUBT.

Huell: ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT I DID WAS...

I TOOK A BITE OF THE PEACH, AND SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS JUICY, IT WAS GOOD, IT'S ORGANIC, RIGHT?

>> CERTIFIED ORGANIC, SIR.

Huell: COMES FROM A FARM UP IN... >> PASO ROBLES.

Huell: OK, SO WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT PEACHES AND YOUR APPLES AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU GROW... >> RIGHT.

Huell: THEN I LOOK AT THIS, UH, HAD A BOARD OVER HERE WITH PICTURES ON IT... >> THAT'S RIGHT.

Huell: AND INSTEAD OF HAVING PICTURES OF AN ORCHARD, PEACHES, AND APPLES, ALL YOUR PICTURES HAD WHAT IN IT?

>> CLEMENTINE, MY--MY DAUGHTER.

Huell: YOUR GOAT!

HA HA HA!

>> MY--MY GOAT DAUGHTER, YEAH.

Huell: ALL RIGHT, SO, I SAID, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT A PICTURE OF A GOAT DOING UP HERE AT YOUR STAND?

NOW, TELL EVERYBODY THE STORY YOU TOLD ME.

AND THIS IS A FASCINATING STORY.

>> OH, I FOUND CLEMENTINE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO OVER IN THE BEVERLY HILLS FARMERS MARKET.

WE WERE SELLING APPLES OVER THERE, AND I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE VENDORS HAD A BABY GOAT IN THE BACK OF HIS PICKUP.

HE HAD IT LAYING DOWN AND THEY HAD LIKE A BLANKET OVER HER.

I GOT A LITTLE INQUISITIVE, I WENT OVER THERE AND I ASKED HIM WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH IT, AND HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE MOM HAD DIED ABOUT 2, 3 NIGHTS BEFORE.

ONE OF THE BABIES HAD DIED THE NIGHT BEFORE.

THE OTHER ONE WAS OVER THERE JUMPING AROUND.

HE WAS FINE.

UH, THEY BROUGHT THEM WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO FORCE FEED THEM, THEY'RE TRYING TO FEED THEM.

AND, UH, I JUST SAW THEM GIVING UP ON HER, SO I PICK HER UP AND I WRAPPED HER IN ONE OF MY BLANKETS, I BROUGHT HER TO MY VAN IN, THE BACK OF THE VAN, AND I RUBBED HER UNTIL HER TEMPERATURE RAISED UP A LITTLE BIT.

I FELT HER CIRCULATION GETTING--'CAUSE SHE WAS ALL STIFF ALREADY.

SHE WAS-- Huell: THEY HAD GIVEN UP ON HER.

SHE HAD BEEN GIVEN UP ON FOR DEAD.

JUST LIKE ONE OF HER SIBLINGS.

>> THAT WAS UNFORTUNATELY CORRECT.

UH, SO I--I GOT HER GOING A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN ONE OF THE LADIES OVER THERE WAS VERY, VERY NICE TO OFFER ME-- SHARON--TO OFFER ME SOME GOAT'S MILK.

SO I FORCE FED HER WITH AN EYEDROPPER.

I STILL HAVE THE EYEDROPPER.

AND I GOT HER GOING FOR A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, WE WARMED IT UP.

WE WENT TO THE COFFEE GUY, GOT THE GOAT'S MILK WARM, 'CAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE THEM WARM-- Huell: THIS ALL HAPPENED AT THE BEVERLY HILLS FARMERS MARKET, JUST THE FIRST TIME YOU GOT THIS GOAT, JUST RIGHT AFTER YOU GOT IT.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH.

BE-- AND THEN-- Huell: YOU ASKED THEM IF YOU COULD HAVE THE GOAT?

>> UH, I DON'T THINK IT WAS A SITUATION THAT THEY REALLY HAD MUCH TO SAY ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

THEY SAW ME TAKING OVER A SITUATION THAT THEY GAVE UP ON.

AND THEY WERE--I THINK THEY WERE MORE THAN PLEASED THAT I TRIED TO DO SOMETHING WITH HER.

AND THEN I BROUGHT HER TO MY PLACE, WE TOOK HER HOME, AND WE WENT BY TRADER JOE'S AND WE GOT SOME GOAT'S MILK, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I GOT SOME COLOSTRUM, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME COLOSTRUM FOR THEIR STOMACH LINING.

AND--AND I SPEND ABOUT 36 HOURS WITH HER.

SHE WAS SLEEPING ON THE COUCH WITH ME 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER MY WIFE, YOU KNOW.

AND EVERY HOUR, EVERY OTHER HOUR AT NIGHT I WAS FORCE FEEDING HER SOME GOAT'S MILK.

BY SECOND, THIRD DAY I HAD HER, SHE WAS WALKING AROUND A LITTLE BETTER.

AND NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE'S A SPOILED BRAT.

Huell: SO YOU BROUGHT THIS GOAT LITERALLY BACK FROM THE DEAD.

>> YEAH.

THAT'S-- Huell: HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE?

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS GOAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

>> YOU KNOW, I LOVE ANIMALS.

I REALLY, REALLY LOVE ANIMALS NO MATTER WHAT.

AND MY BABY CAT, ACTUALLY, THAT I HAVE AT HOME, LINDA, SHE'S ABOUT A 12-POUND CAT NOW--YOU'LL SEE HER-- AND, UH, SHE WAS BROUGHT TO ME BY A FRIEND OF MINE THAT FOUND HER IN A DRAINAGE DITCH WHEN HE WAS DOING SOME CONSTRUCTION WORK, AND I HAD TO MASH SOME CAT'S FOOD WITH WARM MILK.

Huell: ALL RIGHT, I'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE.

I'M GETTING THE IDEA NOW.

YOU'RE A SUCKER FOR SICK AND DYING ANIMALS.

YOU LIKE TO BRING THEM BACK.

>> YEAH, IT'S REWARDING, YOU KNOW.

I LIKE--I DON'T--I DON'T LIKE TO GIVE UP ON STUFF, NO MATTER WHAT.

Huell: WELL, THANK GOODNESS YOU DIDN'T GIVE UP ON THIS LITTLE GOAT, BECAUSE NOW, ACCORDING TO YOU, WHAT I'VE HEARD SO FAR IS THIS LITTLE GOAT NAMED CLEMENTINE IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND SO FAR WE CAN ONLY SEE CLEMENTINE'S PICTURE HERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET, BUT YOU HAVE INVITED US TO COME MEET YOUR GOAT CLEMENTINE AND SEE HER FOR OURSELVES.

AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE GOTTA LEAVE THE FARMERS MARKET AND GO WITH YOU ALL THE WAY TO... >> PISMO BEACH.

Huell: WHICH IS A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES FROM HERE.

>> NORTH, YES, CORRECT.

Huell: BUT IT'S GONNA BE WORTH IT, ISN'T IT, TO GO VISIT THIS GOAT.

>> YOU BETCHA.

Huell: SO WE ARE LEAVING THE PEACH BOOTH STAND HERE FROM FAIR HILLS FARMS AND WE'RE HEADING NORTH TO PISMO BEACH TO SEE CLEMENTINE.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY, AND IT ALL STARTED RIGHT HERE WITH A FRESH PEACH.

OK, THE CLEMENTINE THE GOAT ADVENTURE CONTINUES.

WE HAVE NOW LEFT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

IT'S BEEN, WHAT, JUST A COUPLE WEEKS SINCE WE... >> YEAH.... Huell: TALKED AT THE FARMERS MARKET.

WE HAVE DRIVEN THIS MORNING ABOUT 220 MILES NORTH OF LOS ANGELES TO PISMO BEACH.

ACTUALLY, THIS ISN'T PISMO BEACH, MIGUEL, THIS IS... >> GROVER BEACH.

Huell: GROVER BEACH, WHICH IS RIGHT ADJACENT TO PISMO BEACH.

>> CORRECT.

Huell: SO WE'RE HERE.

THE SUSPENSE IS BUILDING.

WE'VE COME TO YOUR HOME HERE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

Huell: THIS IS HEADQUARTERS RIGHT HERE.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

Huell: AND WHAT ARE WE GETTING READY TO DO?

>> WE'RE GONNA GO MEET CLEMENTINE.

FINALLY, HUH?

Huell: YEAH.

WE'VE BUILT THIS THING UP.

ALL I'VE EVER SEEN ARE THE PICTURES OF CLEMENTINE.

>> OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE IMPRESSED.

Huell: AND WHEN WE GOT HERE THIS MORNING, I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN AND SEE HER AHEAD OF TIME.

>> CORRECT.

Huell: SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE SEEN... >> CLEMENTINE.

>> CLEMENTINE.

WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE THERE IS A CLEMENTINE.

>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I MIGHT HAVE MADE IT ALL UP.

Huell: HA!

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

>> ALL RIGHT.

Huell: WE'RE COMING RIGHT THROUGH THE GATE.

NOW, IT SAYS NO TRESPASSING.

IS THAT BECAUSE CLEMENTINE IS IN HERE AND... >> SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO BE BOTHERED IN HER TIME-OUTS.

Huell: REALLY?

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

>> PLEASE, COME IN.

Huell: OH, BOY THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE HOME YOU'VE GOT HERE.

>> THANK YOU.

Huell: I'M LOOKING AROUND FOR HER.

>> OH, CLEMENTINE.

[MAKES KISSING SOUNDS] HI, BABY GIRL.

LOOK, I BROUGHT YOU A--A FRIEND FOR YOU TO MEET.

Huell: OH, THERE SHE IS.

>> COME ON, BABY.

Huell: NOW, IS SHE KIND OF SPOOKED THAT WE'RE HERE?

>> NOT AT ALL.

SHE'S VERY MELLOW WITH EVERYONE.

SHE DOES--YOU KNOW--I LET HER DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS.

HUH, BABY?

COME HERE.

SHE'S A NUBIAN GOAT.

Huell: 'CAUSE SHE'S, UH--THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL COLOR.

>> YES.

SHE'S VERY SPOILED, TOO.

SHE LIKES A LITTLE SPANKING IN THE MORNING.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

HOH.

HOH.

HOH.

Huell: DO THEY MAKE GOOD PETS?

>> OH, YEAH.

THEY--AND THEY ARE SO SMART.

ONE OF THE FUNNY THINGS SHE LIKES, SHE LIKES TO BE RAKED.

Huell: YOU RAKE HER?

>> YEAH.

CHECK THIS OUT.

CLEMENTINE, LOOK WHAT I HAVE HERE.

Huell: OH, MY GOSH.

OHH!

>> A LITTLE BIT ON THE RIGHT.

Huell: OH, THAT FEELS GOOD.

>> OH, THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF, RIGHT THERE.

HUH, BABY?

Huell: HOW DID YOU FIND OUT SHE LIKES TO BE RAKED?

>> UM, THE FUNNY THING IS THAT I WAS RAKING ONE OF MY DOGS, 'CAUSE SHE LOVES THAT ALSO, AND SHE ACTUALLY WALK UNDER THE RAKE AND STOP.

Huell: WELL, GIVE HER A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A RAKING HERE.

>> COME HERE, GIRL.

SHE KIND OF DOES THAT-- Huell: BOY, SHE IS SPOILED, ISN'T SHE?

>> A LITTLE BIT, YOU THINK?

Huell: DO YOU EVER LET HER OUT IN THE YARD, OR DOES SHE LIKE TO JUST STAY BACK IN HERE?

>> YEAH.

AND IF I LET HER GO IN THE HOUSE, SHE GOES STRAIGHT IN TO THE COUCH LIKE SHE WAS-- Huell: WAIT A MINUTE!

YOU LET HER IN THE HOUSE?

>> YEAH.

Huell: SHE'S A HOUSE GOAT, TOO?

>> SHE DOESN'T MESS WITH ANYTHING.

SHE GOES IN THE HOUSE AS SOON AS I OPEN THAT DOOR.

SHE WILL RUN IN THE HOUSE AND GO SIT ON THE COUCH.

Huell: WAIT A MINUTE.

SHE'S NOT HOUSEBROKEN?

>> SHE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING IN THE HOUSE.

SHE'LL COME OUTSIDE TO THE FRONT GATE AND ASK US TO COME OUT.

YEAH.

Huell: WOW.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL.

OH, MY GOSH, SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL... >> CLEMENTINE.

SAY HI.

THEN SHE GOES... Huell: [LAUGHING] >> AND SHE LIKES TO SMELL EVERYTHING.

SHE LIKES TO DO HER OWN THING.

Huell: OH, BOY.

DOES SHE LIKE YOU TO PLAY WITH HER EARS LIKE THIS?

>> OH, YEAH.

CLEMENTINE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME HERE.

DON'T BE SO--THERE WE GO.

Huell: IS THIS ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS?

COME OVER HERE A MINUTE.

>> THAT'S MY BROTHER-IN-LAW.

Huell: OH, THIS IS YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

Huell: DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN HE BROUGHT THIS GOAT HOME?

>> OH, YES, SIR, I DO.

Huell: WHAT DID YOU ALL THINK ABOUT IT?

DID YOU THINK HE HAD GONE A LITTLE BATTY OR DID YOU-- >> WELL, I KNOW HE'S BEEN A LITTLE BATTY SINCE THE DAY I MET HIM, BUT WHEN HE BROUGHT THE GOAT HOME, IT WAS JUST LIKE-- NOT ANOTHER ANIMAL.

Huell: YEAH.

>> BUT SHE WAS SO LITTLE AND-- YOU KNOW, SHE JUST--SHE LOOKED SICKLY.

BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, SHE WAS JUST VIBRANT AND IT JUST AMAZES ME HOW HE CAN--SHE DOESN'T THINK SHE'S A GOAT.

SHE KNOWS SHE'S NOT A GOAT.

SHE THINKS SHE'S AN ANIMAL, YOU KNOW, A PERSON OR SOMETHING.

Huell: SO HE'S GOT KIND OF A-- A--A TALENT FOR ASSOCIATING WITH ANIMALS AND SAVING ANIMALS AND NURSING THEM BACK.

>> YEAH, HE BRINGS THEM OFF THE STREETS AND SOMEHOW WE END UP KEEPING THEM.

Huell: [LAUGHS] >> WELL, THIS IS THE FIRST-- WE HAVE 3 OTHER DOGS HERE THAT ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF HIS RECOVERY SKILLS.

Huell: SO YOU GOT 3--I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE DOG PART OF THE STORY.

>> WELL, NO--ACTUALLY, NO, 2.

ONE OF THEM WAS--WAS--MY NIECE'S DAD BROUGHT HIM.

HE SAVED HIM FROM PARVO AND-- Huell: BUT THE FAMILY IS USED TO THIS.

>> OH, YEAH.

OH, YEAH.

Huell: AND HOW MUCH A PART OF THE FAMILY IS CLEMENTINE NOW?

>> SHE'S IN OUR CHRISTMAS POSTCARD.

>> MM-HMM.

Huell: OH, SHE'S ON ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS?

>> YEAH.

>> YES, SIR, SHE IS.

SHE'S ON THE CHRISTMAS CARDS AND EVERYTHING.

Huell: WOW.

>> HUH, CLEMENTINE?

Huell: LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT RIGHT HERE OF CLEMENTINE UP ON THE BOX POSING FOR EVERYBODY.

IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.

>> SHE'S--SHE'S GOOD.

SHE'S A-- YOU KNOW, IT JUST AMAZES ME THAT--LIKE I SAID, WHEN HE BROUGHT HER HOME, SHE WAS--FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, SHE WASN'T WITH US ANYMORE, AND HE BROUGHT HER BACK FROM THE BRINK, AND NOW WE HAVE A GOAT THAT-- Huell: THAT GOAT.

>> WELL, THAT DOESN'T KNOW SHE'S A GOAT.

Huell: AND HERE COME THE DOGS!

>> YES.

>> NOW, HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT CLEMENTINE?

>> UH, THEY KIND OF LIVE THEIR OWN LIFE.

CLEMENTINE LIVES LIFE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

Huell: BOY, THEY ARE FRIENDLY DOGS.

NOW, DID YOU SAVE--WHICH ONES OF THESE DOGS-- >> THAT ONE.

Huell: YOU SAVED THAT DOG RIGHT THERE.

>> YEAH.

AND THIS ONE HERE WAS GONNA--THE OWNERS WERE GONNA TAKE HIM TO THE POUND BECAUSE THEY MOVED TO A PLACE WHERE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO HAVE HIM.

Huell: OH, MY GOD.

>> AND HIS NAME IS OTIS.

OTIS.

Huell: AND YOU LOOK AT THESE ANIMALS AND YOU REALIZE THAT YOU SAVED BOTH OF THOSE DOGS.

>> HE'S FROM THE POUND.

Huell: WOW.

AND THE OTHER ONE'S FROM THE POUND AS WELL.

YOU'VE GOT A RABBIT OVER HERE.

>> YES, WE DO.

Huell: WHAT'S THE STORY ON THE RABBIT?

>> UH, IT SHOWED UP AT THIS TRUCKING BUSINESS NEXT DOOR, AND, UH, HE WAS PRETTY MUCH ABANDONED.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE RAN AWAY OR SOMETHING.

BUT THE PERSON WHO LEFT IT-- Huell: IS IT OK?

THE DOGS DON'T BOTHER THE RABBIT?

>> NO.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

Huell: THIS IS LIKE--THIS IS LIKE A WHOLE DEVELOPING STORY HERE.

>> OK, COME ON.

Huell: CAN I PET THE RABBIT?

>> OF COURSE.

>> OH, WOW.

>> NO JUMPING TODAY.

COME ON.

Huell: [LAUGHING] >> I KNOW.

Huell: AND LOOK DOWN HERE.

HERE'S THE SPOILED ONE RIGHT HERE.

>> YEAH.

OTIS.

Huell: YEAH, OTIS.

>> YEAH, HE'S--HE'S A CHARACTER.

OOH... YEAH, HE HATES LOVE, AS YOU CAN SEE.

Huell: WOW.

WELL, THIS IS A WHOLE THING RIGHT HERE--DOGS, RABBITS, A GOAT.

>> OH, YEAH.

Huell: THIS IS LIKE--YOU SHOULD GET THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE YEAR AWARD... >> [CHUCKLES] YOU KNOW-- Huell: FOR SAVING ANIMALS.

>> THE LOOKS IN THEIR FACES-- LAY DOWN, LAY DOWN.

LET ME SHOW HIM SOMETHING.

LAY DOWN.

OHH... Huell: YEAH.

>> RELAX, GIRL.

COME ON.

YOU'RE SUCH A SILLY LITTLE-- OHH!

SHE LIKES THAT.

Huell: NOW, THIS IS EXCITING.

THIS IS ANOTHER WHOLE PART OF OUR ADVENTURE, BECAUSE WE WANT TO GO UP TO SEE YOUR ORCHARD, WHERE YOU GROW THOSE GREAT PEACHES AND APPLES THAT I EAT AT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

NOW, THAT'S HOW FAR FROM HERE?

>> WE'RE GONNA TRAVEL ABOUT 45, 50 MINUTES FROM HERE.

Huell: OK.

SO WE'RE HEADING UP TO WHERE, PASO ROBLES?

>> PASO ROBLES.

Huell: OK, THEN WHEN WE GO TO PASO ROBLES TO VISIT THE ORCHARD, CLEMENTINE COMES WITH US, RIGHT?

>> CORRECT.

Huell: ALL RIGHT.

NOW, THIS IS EXCITING BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND SHE ACTUALLY RIDES IN THE VAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT LIKE A BIG DOG WOULD.

>> UH, THAT'S WHAT SHE THINKS SHE IS.

Huell: OK. >> SHE'S A BIG, FUNNY-LOOKING DOG.

THERE WE GO.

YOU'LL SEE HER DOING IT-- A LOT OF TIMES, IT'S FUNNY 'CAUSE I HAVE NOSE PRINTS ALL OVER HERE.

Huell: UH-HUH.

AND WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK WHEN THEY SEE A GOAT IN-- >> OH, IT'S FUNNY.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE PART IS THE DOUBLE-TAKE LOOK, YOU KNOW.

SEE?

LOOK.

YEAH.

Huell: [LAUGHING] >> TELL HIM HI.

Huell: OH...HOW DID YOU FIND OUT SHE LIKES TO RIDE IN THE CAR?

>> UH, SHE JUST LIKES TO SEE THINGS MOVING, PERIOD.

YEAH.

AND IN THE BEGINNING, SHE WAS GOING WITH US TO THE FARM OR TO THE FARMERS MARKETS.

I ACTUALLY TOOK HER TO THE FARMERS MARKETS PLENTY OF TIMES, LIKE TO THE BEVERLY HILLS ONE, AND I KEPT HER IN A CRATE.

SHE START WITH-- Huell: OH, BACK WHEN SHE WAS JUST A LITTLE BABY AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO LEAVE HER FOR A DAY.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

HUH, BABES?

Huell: LOOK AT THIS.

A GOAT IN A CAR.

>> OH, YEAH.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW SHE'S A GOAT.

Huell: I'M SORRY.

>> YEAH, DON'T KEEP ON TELLING HER THAT.

HUH, CLEMENTINE?

IT'S FUNNY, WHEN SHE SEES HERSELF IN THE MIRROR, TOO, 'CAUSE SHE DOES THAT LOOK-- "WHAT IS THAT?"

HUH?

WHAT IS THAT?

LIKE, DO YOU WANT YOUR CORN HUSKS FOR THE TRIP?

I'M GONNA GET THEM.

ALL RIGHT.

GO GET A COUPLE CORN HUSKS FOR THE TRIP.

Huell: OH, WAIT A MINUTE.

LISTEN TO CLEMENTINE.

[CLEMENTINE BLEATING] Huell: SHE'S UPSET THAT HE'S LEFT HER.

SHE'S MAKING A NOISE.

HE'LL BE BACK.

DON'T WORRY.

HE'LL BE BACK.

HE'S GONE TO GET YOU SOME CORN HUSKS.

LOOK AT THIS GOAT.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IS YOUR LIFE?

[CLEMENTINE BLEATING] Huell: AND THEN IT WAS TIME TO DRIVE TO PASO ROBLES.

WE WERE FOLLOWING MIGUEL'S VAN.

AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, TO PASS A VAN ON THE HIGHWAY AND SEE A GOAT SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT, LOOKING OUT THE SIDE WINDOW WAS INDEED A SIGHT TO BEHOLD.

WELL WORTH A DOUBLE-TAKE.

AND YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAY WERE THINKING.

OK, WE HAVE ARRIVED AT OUR NEXT DESTINATION, FAIR HILLS FARM.

WE'VE BEEN MET BY MR. AND MRS. FAIR HILLS AND THEIR DAUGHTER.

ACTUALLY, YOU'RE MR. AND MRS... >> RYDELL.

Huell: AND?

>> I'M MORGAN.

Huell: AND WHO ARE THESE DOGS SNIFFING AROUND?

I GUESS THESE ARE YOUR DOGS.

>> THIS IS ACTUALLY MISSY.

THIS IS MORGAN'S DOG.

AND THIS IS BOSSY.

HE'S KIND OF THE FAMOUS RANCH DOG.

Huell: OK, SO THEY'RE HERE-- THIS HAS TURNED INTO A DOG SHOW.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE A GOAT SHOW.

>> WE HAVE TO EVERYTHING GOING ALL THE TIME.

Huell: ABSOLUTELY.

'CAUSE HERE ARE THE DOGS, BUT LOOK RIGHT OVER HERE.

SHE'S PERCHED RIGHT UP HERE LOOKING OUT.

SHE HAS ARRIVED.

NOW, CAN WE TAKE HER OUT?

>> OF COURSE.

Huell: ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET HER OUT.

HOW'S SHE GONNA DO WITH THESE DOGS?

>> OH, SHE'S GONNA PLAY WITH THEM.

Huell: OH, BOY.

>> HI, GIRL.

Huell: LOOK AT THIS.

>> COME ON, GIRL.

LET'S GO.

Huell: UH-OH.

UH-OH.

THAT'LL SHUT UP THOSE DOGS.

>> THAT'LL KEEP 'EM QUIET FOR A WHILE.

Huell: YEAH, THEY'RE JUST KIND OF GONNA CHECK EACH OTHER OUT.

>> WELL, THEY'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE THEY WERE LITTLE KIDS, BECAUSE CLEMENTINE KIND OF CAME FROM THE FARMERS MARKET.

Huell: UH-HUH.

>> AND SHE KIND OF WAS--SHE GREW UP AROUND HERE AS A LITTLE KID, PLAYING WITH THE DOGS.

Huell: SO THEY ALL GET ALONG JUST FINE.

>> THEY GET ALONG FINE.

Huell: ALL RIGHT.

BOY, I TELL YOU WHAT--YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING TILL YOU'VE PASSED THIS VAN ON THE FREEWAY AND LOOKED OVER AND SEEN A GOAT LOOKING OUT AT YOU.

>> I'M SURE PEOPLE DO THAT ALL THE TIME.

Huell: WE DID IT ON THE WAY OVER HERE.

WE KNEW WE WERE GONNA SEE IT, BUT IT WAS FREAKY ANYWAY, JUST TO SEE IT.

>> IT IS, FOR CERTAIN.

Huell: ALL RIGHT.

NOW, WE WANT TO SEE ALL THIS ORGANIC STUFF.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS HOW MIGUEL AND I MET, WAS--I WAS AT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET AND HE REACHED OUT AND GAVE ME ONE OF YOUR FRESH PEACHES.

>> RIGHT.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

WE GROW A LOT OF SUMMER FRUIT.

Huell: WHERE'S THE FRUIT?

I WANT TO TASTE ONE OF THESE--I WANT TO GET ONE OF THESE PEACHES OFF THE TREE.

>> YOU WANT TO HEAD OVER TOWARDS SOME PEACHES?

Huell: THESE ARE APPLES.

>> THESE ARE APPLES.

Huell: YEAH, I WANT A PEACH.

SO YOU'RE KIND OF TRANSITIONING BETWEEN PEACHES AND APPLES.

>> WE TRANSITION THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WE START PICKING OUR APPLES IN APPROXIMATELY AUGUST, AND WE FINISH OUR PEACHES APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER.

SO IN THE FALL WE'RE BASICALLY THE APPLE PEOPLE.

Huell: I'M LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER.

LOOK AT CLEMENTINE.

NOW, CLEMENTINE'S GRABBING A BITE OFF ONE OF YOUR TREES.

IS THAT OK?

>> ONCE IN A WHILE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO GIVE CLEMENTINE AN ALLOWANCE JUST TO PAY HER FOR HELPING PRUNE IT.

SHE LOVES TO PRUNE TREES.

Huell: LOOK AT THIS.

BOY, SHE'S GOING TO TOWN, MIGUEL.

>> YEAH.

THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO BUSHES DOWN HERE.

SEE?

Huell: LOOK AT HER.

>> THESE ARE--THESE ARE LITTLE CRABAPPLES CALLED A SNOWDRIFT CRABAPPLE, WHICH WE USE FOR THE POLLINATION, FOR THE BEES TO FEED IN.

Huell: BOY, SHE LIKES THAT.

BOY, SHE--NOW SHE'S HAVING A GOOD TIME NOW.

>> YEAH, SHE'S DOING THE QUALITY CONTROL RIGHT NOW.

Huell: YEAH, LOOK AT THIS.

THAT IS SOMETHING TO SEE RIGHT THERE.

BOY, SHE WENT RIGHT FOR THE TREE.

NOW SHE'S FOUND SOMETHING ELSE.

>> ARE YOU READY, GIRL?

Huell: COME ON, CLEMENTINE.

>> LET'S GO GET SOME PEACHES.

COME ON.

Huell: [LAUGHS] THIS IS SO MUCH FUN.

THIS IS--YOU KNOW, THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY GET TO SEE WHERE THEIR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES COME FROM THAT THEY BUY AT THE FARMERS MARKET.

>> RIGHT.

IT'S AN INTERESTING THING FOR PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT WE ACTUALLY CARE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BRING TO THEM.

Huell: YEAH.

WELL, I THINK THEY KNOW THAT, THOUGH.

>> WELL, NOT EVERYBODY REALLY UNDERSTANDS ALL THAT.

Huell: THEY JUST DON'T GET THE EXPERIENCE.

TURN AROUND HERE, CAMERON, AND LOOK AT THIS.

JUST LOOKING DOWN THE WAY HERE AT THE CLOUDS AND THE SKY AND THE ORCHARDS.

>> AND WE EVEN HAVE A LITTLE NEW SCHOOL DOWN AT THE END THERE FOR ALL THE KIDS.

Huell: THIS IS JUST PARADISE HERE.

>> IT IS PARADISE.

IT'S REALLY A NICE AREA.

Huell: WOW.

AND THIS IS WHERE THE PEACHES CAME FROM THAT I ATE AT FARMERS MARKET.

>> THIS IS WHERE THE PEACHES CAME FROM.

Huell: OK, OUR ENTOURAGE IS NOW HEADING TOWARD THE PEACH ORCHARD.

>> PEACH ORCHARD.

WE'RE IN THE OFFICIAL 6 BLOCK NOW FULL OF THE PEACHES.

AND THIS IS A NEW, ALMOST SECRET VARIETY THAT NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT.

Huell: IT'S NOT GONNA BE SECRET MUCH LONGER.

WHAT'S THE NAME OF IT?

>> THE NAME OF IT'S A MORGIE.

IT'S NAMED AFTER MY LITTLE GIRL.

Huell: WELL, YOU HAD A PEACH NAMED AFTER YOU.

>> OH, YES.

Huell: WELL, LET'S PICK ONE.

LET'S PICK A COUPLE.

>> LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER HERE.

Huell: OH, MY GOSH, LOOK AT THIS.

CLEMENTINE COMES RIGHT IN THE ORCHARD?

NO PROBLEMS?

>> SHE'S JUST GONNA COME WITH US.

SHE WANTS TO EAT THESE WEEDS BACK HERE.

Huell: OH, SHE'S AFTER THE WEEDS.

WE'RE AFTER THE PEACHES.

CAN WE JUST PICK ONE RIGHT OFF-- >> YOU CAN PICK ANYTHING YOU WANT.

HERE'S KIND OF A PRETTY ONE.

Huell: OH, BOY, LOOK AT THIS PEACH.

BOY, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

RIGHT OFF THE TREE.

>> JUST DIRECTLY OFF THE TREE.

NOW, THESE ARE CERTIFIED ORGANIC, SO THERE'S NOTHING BAD ON THEM FOR THE PEOPLE AT ALL.

AND I EAT THEM RIGHT OFF THE TREE ALL THE TIME.

THEY'RE A WHITE VARIETY.

Huell: MMM!

>> AND IF YOU NOTICE, THEY'RE JUST JUST ABOUT THE RIGHT RIPENESS TO PICK TO TAKE TO THE MARKET, SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GET THE BEST STUFF THAT WE CAN BRING THEM.

THEY'RE NOT TOO SOFT, NOT TOO HARD.

Huell: AND LOOK, HE'S GOT A WHOLE BASKETFUL OF THEM HERE.

LOOK AT THIS, CAMERON.

SO YOU HAVE TO PACK THEM VERY CAREFULLY, THOUGH, 'CAUSE THEY BRUISE EASILY, DON'T THEY?

>> YES, THEY DO.

WE PACK THEM IN INDIVIDUAL LITTLE TRAYS TO KEEP THEM THE BEST WE CAN.

Huell: OH, WOW.

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN TO SEE WHERE THIS HAPPENS.

BECAUSE THERE ARE FARMS LIKE THIS ALL OVER CALIFORNIA THAT ARE GROWING THINGS FOR FARMERS MARKETS.

>> ALL OVER CALIFORNIA.

THE FARMERS MARKETS HAVE GOTTEN SO POPULAR THAT SMALL GROWERS LIKE MYSELF HAVE AN OUTLET TO BRING THEM TO THE PEOPLE, AND IT HELPS YOU APPRECIATE TO GROW THINGS BETTER FOR THEM, TOO.

Huell: YEAH.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS GONNA END UP BEING A PROGRAM ABOUT FARMERS MARKETS, TOO.

ALTHOUGH THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED, AT HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

>> YEAH, AND WE BRING OUR FRUIT TO A FEW SPECIALTY STORES, LIKE THE ISLA VISTA FOOD CO-OP OUT BY UCSB, AND UP IN RAINBOW BRIDGE IN OJAI, AND THEY APPRECIATE THE ORGANIC PRODUCE THAT WE BRING THEM.

Huell: BOY, THIS IS GOOD.

IT'S JUICY, TOO.

GOT IT ALL OVER ME.

WELL, THIS HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL ADVENTURE.

IT ALL STARTED, MIGUEL, WITH YOU HANDING ME ONE OF THESE PEACHES A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

AND FROM THAT HAS GROWN THIS AMAZING--EXCUSE THE PEACH JUICE ON MY HAND.

>> IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

NO PROBLEM.

Huell: THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE WHERE WE HAVE COME TO YOUR HOUSE IN GROVER BEACH?

>> CORRECT.

Huell: WE'VE COME UP HERE TO THE FAIR HILLS FARM OUTSIDE OF PASO ROBLES.

WE'VE SEEN THE PEACHES BEING PICKED.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, RIGHT ON THE SPOT.

Huell: AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU HAVE SHARED YOUR WONDERFUL STORY, THIS LOVE STORY BETWEEN YOU AND THIS GOAT, CLEMENTINE, AND BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOGS THAT YOU'VE RESCUED, THE LITTLE RABBIT THAT YOU RESCUED.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL STORY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT WITH ALL OF US.

AND IT ALL STARTED... >> AT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

Huell: AT THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS MARKET.

IT ALL STARTED WITH A PEACH, AND IT ENDED UP IN AN ORCHARD WITH A GOAT.

[WHISTLES] CLEMENTINE.

GIVE US A PROFILE.

>> CLEMENTINE, HAVE SOME PEACH, COME ON.

THERE WE GO.

Huell: NOW SHE'S GOING FOR HER THIRD PEACH.

I DO THINK SHE'S JUST CHECKING THEM ALL OUT A LITTLE BIT.

>> YEAH.
