Out on the Pastures !!!!

We are excited to get the cows and broiler chicks out on the pasture. They are happy too!!! Milk and cream from lush spring grass is the best milk of the year!

The bottomless portable pasture pens get moved morning and afternoon to give the chicks a new salad bar twice a day. All that good chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals from the grass, sunshine, and fresh air make chicken that tastes wonderful and is wonderful for you!

A group from our church in Chicago toured our farm and enjoyed the animals. We actually were out of town, but a family friends helped us out and showed them around and gave horse rides. It sounds like everyone had fun!

                                  

 

Baby animals and gathering eggs are always a highlight for some of the children.
