Kids got to ride in this--very bumpy |
But they loved it! |
Farmer who owns the land which has been in his family for generations |
This was the largest pig on the farm and is an American breed called Durac (spelling?) The farmer likes to breed this pig with his English saddle backs and says the offspring produces a juicer meat:) |
No sooner then the farmer finished talking than we saw a pheasant and a few partridges racing across the field as if to emphasize the point. |
That looks amazing, great field trip!! Hannah would LOVE to visit an organic farm! Where is it?
ReplyDeleteThis was a local farm outside of Cambridge called Burwash Manor:)
DeleteAh, too far for us! I will have to investigate a local one :-)
DeleteAwesome and fun! Looks like you guys learned so much!
ReplyDeleteFunny comment - the knowledge of that pig's certain slaughter and love of bacon! Love it.
I have to say, this was so intriguing and I'd love to visit an organic farm at some point with the kids. We live in an area that verges on rural...eastern LI....we're in a super congested section but once we drive just 5 miles east or so, it is wide open and farmland. This section of the country though is SO pretentious in terms of "organic" veg, fruit and such...there is even a separate section in the supermkts here for organic candy. It's insane. At this point, I'll be honest, my kids scoff at the term 'organic' ( so do hubby and I ) b/c we tend to see it used for anything and everything! Visiting a true organic farm and speaking with the owner would def inform us.
Thanks, friend...hope all is well...enjoy your weekend...you are probably busy packing!!
xoxo
Looks like a great trip! We have a lot of organic farms here, but then we live in Crunchy Town, so what can you expect. In fact, I'd hazard to guess that there are more organic farms than non-organic farms here.
