Today we visited this beautiful working organic farm. We were just here for a short tour … And instead were treated to a delicious dive into local history, even pre-history, and we were graciously guided by John, one of the able and generous farmhands. Oh, and also Enzo and Aldo and Izzie, sweet dogs who enchanted our children. John explained the details of raising goats and chickens organically. The chickens have a moving coop just like we’d read about in omnivore’s dilemma. Noting our curiosity, John took us on a hike to the original homestead house and explained that this was a dairy cow farm at that time. And before that, long before that, it was a mountain lake providing rich hunting grounds as evidenced by the many stone arrowheads found there. Eventually we circled back to the farm just as Suzanne, one of the owners, arrived to top off our tour with an entrancing discussion of riparian ecology and also of the solar panels that provide power to the farm. Utterly charming. We then bought out the store of truly local pork shoulder, goat sausages and eggs laid this morning. Totally awesome. We shall be back!
