News From the Farm | June 15, 2015

 Farm Day 

It was a small, but happy group of open farm day visitors last Saturday. First we visited some of the Full Belly chickens and talked about pastured animals. The chickens were clustered in the shade under mulberry and quince trees, behaving quite chicken-like, which they might not have had a chance to do if they had been living in battery cages.

Next we got on a trailer and were toured around the easy way, behind a tractor, stopping to discuss any interesting sight that we passed.  We ended up picking apricots and gorging ourselves on the delicious fruit, but not quite spoiling our appetites for picnic lunch.
