Trip to Old Style Working Farm & Garden in Houston & To get Poop....

We have spent some time this month visiting other farms for ideas, encouragment, etc....
Here are some pictures from our adventures....


First off is Sand Creek Farm which is the first raw milk dairy to be licensed in Texas. It was a great trip! They had all kinds of great things - grassfed beef, raw milk, cheese, yougurt, etc...
(Read about some of the benifits of Raw Milk )
They plow the ground with draft horses, they have 300 chickens, some pigs, gardens - it was a treat to spend the day with them and taste their homemade raw ice cream made with maple syrup...)











The Atkins joined us at the last minute - here are Angelica and Bella in the chicken field..

Al, Nathan, Will, Card and Bella walking to see the pigs












Here was our trip to some organic gardens in Houston - right there in 3rd ward....on a concrete parking lot at that....


Will and Glen picking some Sorrel - great stuff!















Card collected lots of greens for mama! My sweet boy!














See the raised gardens right on the concrete...

Went to get some organic poop the other day and in April in Houston the kids needed their jackets!

Above Rubies Retreat.....

First we listened to Serene and Pearl





















Then to Pearl and Meadow












Katie was so scared to talk to Meadow - once she got over that, her and Meadow became fast friends!
