Farm Life 1 - Ruth

Wow!!! How different the farm life is here since one small farm can easily sustain several families. When I say small I mean 10-15 acres. Depending on the region you can do your meat, veggies, fruit, carbs, and coffee plus dairy.

Photo 1. The first farm we stayed at all of our cheese, cream, and milk came from his cow heard.  Twice a day he and his son called the cows up and milked right by the kitchen dining area. I love the calf waiting for him to finish so he can nurse. Just a note in the US there are a lot of dairy regulations-- this would never pass.

 
 

Photo 2. This is the son, Almond. He is the hardest worker I have ever met. He loves working on the farm with his dad. He also loves to look at photos and read on my IPad. We had no wifi but I could show him what I had already downloaded. On the dining table next to him is his pet parrot. Our kitchen/ dining area definitely had no regulations and health codes-- how fun !!!!

Photo 3. This is one of the ways livestock are transported. In the bed of the pickup are a pig or two and a calf. Sometimes there will be a cow or even a small horse.
