We made a quick visit today to Shelburne Farms. Yes, that is the farm along with a school that rents space. Pretty amazing, huh?Right when we arrived we were asked if we'd like to go out to a field with a portable chicken coop to collect the eggs. J said, "Yes!". What do you think B said?B was happier when he saw all the eggs in the coop.I'm not sure that the chickens were excited to see us.Look at all those eggs. Makes me want an omelet!
We washed the eggs and then went into the barn to see the animals.The one black sheep was J's favorite.This is Marx. He's a 1 month old brown Swiss bull calf. This milking cow stuck her tongue out at me when no-one was looking.Then it was on to see the chicks and the chickens. J finally picked up a chicken. She's been wanting to for a while but I think she's been a little scared until today. As you can see, she was awfully excited! We had so much fun that we decided to get a membership. We'll be back!

    The farm looks like a great place to spend the day.
