On the Farm
On Saturday, we spent the day visiting local farms to learn more about where our food comes from and how it is produced (part of the natural food coops 'Eat Local Farm Tour' program). Our favorite, which is where I shot this photo, was an organic farm north of the Twin Cities that teaches farmers how to grow and become certified organic farmers. It was an amazing place to spend the afternoon. I was giddy when I opened the car door and found chickens running around the grounds and racing toward me (not a common site for a city girl but one that I LOVE!). They also treated us to fresh goodies they had just picked including sungold tomatoes (to die for - they were like popping sugar cubes only better), broccoli, cukes, zucchini and homemade iced tea and lemonade (which tasted so good since the heat index was over 100'F... again).
Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead and a Happy August 1st!
