An Afternoon At The Farm

This week, we took a very fun trip

to a local farm.

This farm was special because

it's a "grass" farm.

The man that runs the farm leaves

all of his animals out in

pastures, so that they can

eat grass, dig for bugs,

and do what animals do.

He butchers his own animals

and sells the meat at local

farmers markers and in

a local food co-op.

The whole field trip was

very interesting.

The kids loved seeing the animals.

They loved trying to catch the chickens and

pet the pigs.

When they were out watching the

farmer move his cows

from one pasture to another, they

laughed when they heard the cows mooing.

All in all, it was a very fun afternoon.

Farmers really do a lot of work for our food.

I could never be a farmer,

and after petting the animals that we eat,

I'm not sure I'll ever be a meat eater again.
