We visited two members farms in August. We had a great time learning about their farms and then helping to do some chores while we were there.

I think this is Marion with the chickens.
These pics above are from our club visit to the Heselschwerdt Farm. The family raises a lot of their own food between all the vegetables they grow and the animals they have. They sell eggs and some meat.
THe following pics are from our club visit to Beth Bonnert’s Mountain Hollow Farm and Store. She raises her own Cashmere Goats and Rabbits for the fiber. She also has a store where she sells yarn and other neat things, gives knitting, crochet, and felting lessons.

I really enjoyed this post! It’s always nice to get a sneak peek into the lives of our individual farmers. I especially like the selfie with the pig as well as the cashmere collecting. I hope you all keep having more adventures!
Thank you!
