Farm Day Madness 2009

Last Saturday Farm Day went down. And boy, oh boy, did it go down. Take a look at this video. You'll see what I mean.

It takes a lot of work - work from everyone on the farm along with the power of over 100 volunteers - to put an event like this on.

We painted signs. We baked (a bazillion cookies and muffins). We hammered nails. We used drills. We painted. We called. We emailed. We harvested. We shared stories with fellow volunteers, donors mingled with customers. Kids mingled with animals. Vendors laughed with farm folk.

And of course the music! As you saw in the video, we rocked our hand-knitted socks off. From under the big tent, music flowed and feet taped.

We had our turkeys out, so you could see your future Thanksgiving bird, and our goats and chickens were very nice to let all the people pet them. Tasty farm, grassfed meat was served and sold. Pecan were cracked. Eggs were bought.


It was definitely an event not to be missed. If you were unable to attend Fall Farm Day, make sure you save the date for next year's: April 10, 2010!
