Farm days...

I am behind again...but I wanted to share the fun we had on earth day at Pilgrim's Produce Organic Farm.


Our kids favourite booth was Cottontail & Co. selling rabbits "Dead or Alive - Preferably alive!" There was quite a line-up here of kids wanting to hold a bunny...


Even my hubby was tempted to bring one home...maybe next year. Although I am very tempted to purchase a few in the not alive category...very tempted...


The kids also loved the baby chicks from Rosebank Farms - pasture raised poultry.


I was really excited to find a local source for pasture raised chicken! I think I may need to buy another freezer...


The kids loved the animals but couldn't find a way to convince us to bring any home... not that it would take much to convince us...we just need to find a place of our own where we can bring them home to!


I loved seeing the greens...I am SO ready for our local produce season to start!


I was really happy to see the first blossoms of the season...


We loved wandering around the farm...


and enjoying the entertainment offered. We left smiling and a little sad to leave - longing for a farm of our own.


We were cheered up again this week-end with the opening of the local farmer's market and the start of the local asparagus season.


We filled two large bags with delicious local produce which should tide us over until next Saturday.

I need to find more opportunities to visit farms as we are all getting restless and needing a farm fix a little more frequently than usual. But, for this week...daily roasted asparagus is keeping a smile on my face!

  1. I absolutely loved your response on "Thyme". This is exactly the type of connections that are so possible through food. I love that you said they were baked and that there is a sweet version. Wonderful history of your family. Wonderful pics of your day at the farm. Reminds of the many field trips we took as homeschoolers during early and middle school. Sadly...it seems we can barely fit in field trips in the high school years.
