Customer Day at the Farm

I haven't disappeared, but with the onset of school, I have been dividing my hours into too many things to include blogging. 

I will spend some time this week catching up.

I had been promising my customers a chance to come tour, pick and play at the farm.  We finally found a weekend when a Saturday was clear and the weather cooperated.

The pictures tell more than I need to:

Shooting was a hit with a majority of the boys.  My girls do like to shoot....but mostly at the boys:):)

Of all the animals at the farm, Lucky the duck ranks at the top.  She's 9 months old and has started laying eggs.  If you get a large translucent looking egg in your carton, it was a gift from her.

I actually avoid holding any kind of bird.  No reason.  Personal choice.  I do, however, love holding Chunk holding Lucky.

Morgen came all the way from Michigan to enjoy the weekend...and to hold Chunk...and Lucky (separately).

Ann.  A friend of mine and future wife for my son, Simon.  He'll find that out when he reads this post:):)

I can't believe Kael is holding Lucky.  She's an inside girl that has general "ewwww" comments about most things "animal" with the exception of her dingbat dog, Molly.

COTTON CANDY!!!!

The kids thought they were SO funny  spinning me this cotton candy on a carrot!!  I threw the top to the chickens & ate the carrot.

This seemed like such a good idea to Chunk...until he learned how much cotton candy attracts bees!  He quickly washed his face and stuck to cotton candy on a stick! 

The go-carts are always the draw for the kids.  Levi isn't big enough to drive so he suckers anybody he can to take him for a spin.  His "favorite Joel" (no, not his dad) is always at his service.

Gemma is my first choice for driving the babies.  She's very cautious.

I REALLY wanted to use our hay wagon to give hayrack rides.  We'd never done it before, but I repeated my mantra, "How hard can it be?"

Harder that I assumed. Not only had my willing husband never driven a trqctor pulling a hayrack,  apparently he's never even BEEN on a hayrack ride.  

He drove REALLY, REALLY fast...like I almost bounced off the hayrack!!  Maybe that was his plan:)

He's new at the "selfie" thing too, but he's great at it. What a shot!  That was one full hayrack.

It was a beautiful day and nice to be able to show customers where and how their food grows.  People seemed to have a great time...or they faked it:)

Thanks for your business!!!
