The farm is full of crops and there are dogs, cats, chickens, and horses roaming around. While we were there my brother and I had so much fun feeding the chickens, and grooming and feeding the horses. We even had the chance to ride one of the horses right at sunset. He was an Icelandic Horse named Oddie.
Another highlight for me was having the opportunity to roam around the crops and see what the Farmer was about to harvest. My brother got to pick raspberries with someone we met this weekend. We also saw corn, butternut squash, pumpkins, melons, beets, herbs and tomatoes all almost ready to be harvested. I can't believe that these crops will be arriving in our boxes during the next few weeks.
Saturday night ended with the group making Hobo Dinners over the fire. We put cut up vegetables that grew on the farm and hamburger meat, along with herbs, salt, and pepper into the foil packets. Our dinner was so yummy!! The fresh corn that was harvested that day topped off the meal.
My favorite part of the weekend was when my brother and I had the opportunity to ride the tractor with the Farmer. It was so nice of him to take us out for a "spin." He even let me tumble the compost. I'll never forget being able to do this just before we left the farm.
Each week during the months of June through November, my family loves picking up our box of produce from the Earth Dance Farm delivery. We enjoy making meals with the fresh ingredients. Many of my postings this summer have been made with ingredients from the farm.
Norm and Lori thanks for such a great weekend!!!
