About a year ago I decided to try and only buy meat for the family that has no antibiotics, hormones and that has been pasture fed. It can be a little expensive in the grocery stores, but it is better for you and tasted really good too.
Recently I checked out a website that listed some local farms that raise and sell pasture fed beef. It can be alot less expensive than the grocery stores, especially when you buy in bulk. I found one that was pretty close in Kutztown, so I decided to pack up the kids and set off to buy some meat.
The kids were very excited when I told them we were going to visit a farm. Alicia asked if it was a "real" farm. Since I don't know what a "fake" farm is, I assured her that it was indeed a "real" farm. On the way there I was hoping that the farm had all kinds of animals, and not just cows. Well, when we got there all we could see were cows. The girls were pretty disappointed, but Ethan didn't seem to fazed. I guess the cows were exciting enough for him. The lady who ran the farm told us that they also had sheep, but they had wandered away to another field.
Well, I made my purchases and we decided to get out of the van so that we could take some pictures. The girls seemed very happy with this decision. Even Ethan seemed to get even happier than he already was. The cows seemed to be very entertained with us, and they all lined up at the fence to check us out. I guess me yelling to the girls to be careful not to step in mud and Ethan throwing a tantrum when it was time to get back in the van can be very exciting in a cows mundane life.
That was our visit to the farm. We didn't stay very long, but seeing the cows seemed to make up for the drive. We even saw the sheep as we drove away. We made sure to stop and get a picture so they wouldn't feel left out. :)

Mady loved the "real" farm. She said it smelled real good there. I have never heard that before. Thanks for taking her!
