We go to a farm!

We woke up to a cool and drizzly morning so my son, Jason, the Baa Brothers and I decided to visit Great Cape Herbs (www.greatcape.com) in Brewster, Massachusetts. There was a little serendipity at play here because while we were thinking about visiting Great Cape the phone rang and it was them! We never talked before, but they heard about our Babydoll sheep and they are considering keeping sheep on their farm so they wanted to see them. Much to their surprise I told them we'd just put 'the boys' in the car and bring them right over. So, off we went! If you ever want to make any day a Saturday, visit a farm. Even if you are only able to visit one of those city co-op farms on your lunch break, your day will be transformed. As soon as we let the boys out of the car, they were a huge hit. They are like little people magnets - people wander in from everywhere to see them. I noticed an old tractor sitting in the middle of a tall grassy area, so Jason and I just attached the boys to the tractor with a long lead and they munched on this delicious organic grass while Stephan Brown showed us around their 14 acre farm. We loved the new caboose under construction that is housing their recently adopted baby chicks. Imagine how beautiful it would be to live in a caboose in the middle of acres amd acres of green, sweet scented herbs. Stephan says, 'Herbs are the People's medicine' and he has an enthusiasm for farm life that is contagious. Before we left, Stephen called Shelley of Golden Touch Farm in Westport (where the boys were born) and asked her about getting Babydolls of his own.
Now we are home and its raining loud, so I shall go now and have some tea, homemade bread, and honey from the farm with Jason.
Happy Saturday to you!
