Tour of Farms

Yesterday we all went out to north central Florida to tour a chicken farm and a cow farm. We have started getting our beef from Deep Roots, which comes to the Fernandina farmers market once a month. We found out all of the farms involved in that particular co-op had tours going on all weekend so we decided that it would be a fun family outing to see where our beef really comes from. Since I have always told Paul that the only way I would eat chicken is from organic/free range farms, we decided to tour one of those as well. The chicken farm, Abundant Acres, is only about 45 acres, a literal mom and pop organization. We spent about an hour there, got a couple of birds and headed the 30min to Deep Roots. We got there just in time for their 2:00 hayride tour... Adelyn had a blast! She loved watching the cows as we went by, the tractor in front of us and the never ending supply of hay for her to eat and throw. Based on that experience, I am sure there will be many more hayrides in our future.

I thought this was funny because we stopped to get gas and this man just drove up in his tractor.
