"Our" New Farm




Deceiving.
that is what blogging can be. We can so easily put up a front (without even knowing it sometimes) of who we are and what we value. But i still blog. haha. i love it.

So, deceiving as the title of this blog IS, we are not starting a farm. (though maybe one day, wouldn't that be awesome!!?? way too much work though... i think i would realize just how "lazy" i am then. Not that i'm lazy, but i am not a hard enough worker to be a farm mom)

ANYWAY. whew, i am Tangent Queen today.

We finally found a farm to have as our own Beef source. (the pictures show this farm) The lovely couple who owns and operates this farm gave us a tour and allowed the kids to play with all the sheep, lambs, alpaca's and the sweet donkey "George". (Who followed the kids all over. IT was so, so cute. He is an old Donkey and he loved the attention) Julia sat down and drew a few of the animals in her "adventure sketch book". Sam followed the bugs, the animals, the poop, the dirt, the dandelions - anything that got his attention. I love little boys and their antics, frustrating though they can be. Mercy barked at the hens, and called the cows "horses", and got mad when i wouldn't let her bum-scoot through the manure.

SO, if you want delicious hormone free beef, we can hook you up with a great family that sells it through "Bluewater Beef". call me!! :)

I love this idea!! Would they let you buy it in small amounts, or do you have to commit to a full steer?

Hey Deb, you can buy small amounts. They have a menu of "boxed orders" and if i had any more referral cards (they disappeared quickly) you could have received 10% off of a box. That is what we have started with, and then i think we will move to a side of beef that we share with someone else. :)
