Blue and Green Eggs

You might think that green eggs are only in Dr. Seuss books but they actually exist.  I bought eggs when I was at Dogwood Farm checking out the baby goats.  They have Araucana chickens which lay eggs in blue and green hues.  There is something more fun when your eggs look like it's Easter all the time.

Babies

I went back to the massage therapist to have some more craniosacral work done to help my vertigo.  I got to see the baby goats again this time in daylight.  Its amazing how much they grow within a week.  I also noticed this week they had a brooder box with lights where they are raising new young hens.

Cuteness

Over the weekend my mother in law took me to a message therapist who did some work on my head and neck in an attempt to alleviate and give me some relief from my vertigo.  She believes in a holistic approach to health which includes of course the food that you eat.  She runs her practice at her house and in her backyard she raises goats and chickens. 

She has a small shop where she sells sustainably farmed and raised products along with handmade soaps and such.  The store is not manned by anyone.  You take what you want, write down what you took and put the money in the box.  I found it quite interesting and refreshing the trust she has in the honesty of other people. 

It was dark by the time we got out but her goats recently had babies and of course I wanted to take a peek.  The pictures are dark because the barns aren't lighted well but you can get a glimpse at some of the cuteness.

 

 I also thought the chickens were quite pretty!

Turner Farm

Andy and I recently got a chance to visit a local sustainable farm.  We spent a Saturday an evening walking around, looking at what they grow, how they grow it, watching the animals and enjoying the open space.  Here are just a few of the things we saw.
