Down on the Farm

This summer we bought a CSA share from Bluebird Gardens in Fergus Falls and this is how we feel about it:
We love our produce boxes each Tuesday and everything has tasted so delicious. It's easy to get used to grocery store produce, but you can really taste the difference when you get it directly from the farm. This past Saturday, it was the pea pick event at the farm. We had so much fun walking through the fields picking peas.
Even Elliot was able to help out.
Ethan did a little of this,
And a lot of that. He must have eaten his weight in peas.
The E's on a very large swing in front of the pig pen.
We also visited the chickens, which was Elliot's favorite part. "Can I have one? Those are my chickens."
These fun people came with us! Dave and Bonnie met us at the farm and helped us pick 3 big bags of peas.
After all the peas were picked, we had a picnic lunch in these woods. All in all, it was a great day and we're excited for more harvest events! -RL
