First Farm Tour


Today, Becky hosted a farm tour for a couple of home-schoolers and their Moms. This was her first farm tour.

 
Becky with her first ever farm tour group.




The kids were so cute, well-behaved and seemed interested in the day-to-day operations of the farm.  They were especially fond of the animals.

 

The tour started at our farm. While waiting for others to arrive (they never did), Nathan played fetch with Buddy.  Mia spent her time trying to train Sammy to sit. Mia was quite successful.  I was impressed with her technique. 

 

Becky took the group down to inspect the cattle and sheep, and then then went to the pond to feed the fish.
 

 

Then, they followed Becky to her farm to see the pig operation. There they were also able to feed the pigs apples, windfall, Becky had collected earlier from my apple trees.  Like most of my garden, apple production was a disappointment this season.

 

My loss, the pigs gain.

 

Farm tours…I think Becky is up to try another.
