Recently we went with my friend Steph and her two kids to visit another friend’s farm. We’re so lucky to live in a place where friends’ farms are a five minute drive away! I was thinking about it and realizing that most of our friends have amazing gardens, some of them have cows, horses, bees, pigs, sheep, chickens, goats… it’s practically a petting zoo around these parts. I can’t wait to get our own chickens but it’ll have to wait until next summer. Redoing our backyard and having a baby has been enough projects for this summer! I love spending time on these farms. There’s something pretty wonderful about people who are putting all of their time and energy into their gardens, animals, land… you can read more about this particular farm here. That back to basics mentality really appeals to me, I wish I was better about practicing it in my own home.

Little known fact, I have always wanted a pig for a pet. Preferably a micro-piglet. Kyle, for some unreasonable reason, does not seem thrilled about the idea. Plus, as much as I wanted her to love them, Gigi was pretty scared of the pigs on the farm. I may have to settle for chickens and bees.
