An Afternoon on the Farm
Kristen and I took David up to Webster this afternoon. I'd been inquiring about the products, and the owner of Webster Ridge Farm, Brandon Sussman, offered to give us a tour.
David enjoyed seeing the donkey, the goats, the sheep and the chickens, especially the chicks, as he was able to lean over their pen and watch them mill around. He kept waving to them, and that was cute and little sad, as I imagine we'll be eating one of them sometime in September. The trip to the farm was part of my project to see how much of our meat and produce we can buy locally here in New Hampshire. Between all the local farms we've gotten info from, I believe we'll only have to go to the grocery store for paper products, cleaning supplies, exotic foods and snacks (gotta have my pork rinds).
