We recently had company from the other side of the state. It was our former pastor and his wife. We took a walk around the corner to Beacon Bay Farm. The farm is operated by our neighbors, Curt and Meghan. I’ve taken you there before, but it is always a good place to visit. We didn’t see the human folks but did visit with some of the critters.
The sheep are an important part of Beacon Bay Farm. We have one of their lambs, well part of one in our freezer. Grace, the llama, was in another part of the complex, so we didn’t get to visit with her.
Then there are the chickens. They grow some for meat.
Others are kept for egg production. After the our short visit we walked on back to the house with our friends. They enjoy visiting us where they encounter different sights, sounds and smells then they find in their urban environment.
Bummer, Chuck. Could you not point out that these sweet faces are going to be your dinner?? Yikes. 🙁
Sometimes, in my opinion it's much more interesting and enjoyable to visit with the critters rather than the humans. Great shots.
A big piece of me longs for the homebody life of a small farm with a few critters. But the wanderlust for the trail always wins out.
I've always envied people who live on farms. Talk about the ultimate of self supporting!
When I first saw the first picture, I thought this was going to be another post about some more of your relatives. My mistake.
Oh wow, it's been awhile since I've been to a farm. Your neighbors have some nice chickens in there, and wow, a llama! 🙂 Nice post for "My World" Tuesday. Interesting! Me-thinks I'll join this Tuesday group 🙂
