Down on the Farm

On Saturday, we all went on the farm tour in Orange county. There were 35 farms on the tour but we just went to one about 12 miles away.

This next picture is of their root cellar. They are storing turnips in there right now. With a little camouflage it could pass for one of the bunkers in Lost -- the Turnip Station.

This particular farm had plenty of chickens and pigs as well as lots of land dedicated to crops. Their angle is to be as green as possible and to treat their animals well.

Amelia didn't like being there all too much. Either that or she's getting to be too (two) independent. We didn't get to hear much of what the farmer was saying because we had to continue to keep her from wandering into places she shouldn't be (pig sty, electric fence, etc.) or she just was plain loud. Next time, I'm definitely wearing her on my back. This picture kind of sums up her attitude that day.

Ultimately, it was good to be out there and next time we do a farm tour we'll just make sure to keep the kid(s) fed and confined (like veal).

  1. Ha! She probably was just too sugared up from the cookout.
