We were lucky enough to spend the last ten days with two of the most lovely hosts (Lisa & Aaron), 1 Coppa (awesome farm dog), 3 rams & adult pigs, 5 cows, 7 piglets, 20 ducks, 26 chickens & an abundance of organically flourishing veggie gardens.

While on the farm we completed the following tasks:

snuggle with the piglets
prepare the garden beds for spring
cuddle with Coppa
weeding
lounge with the cows
build a staircase out of tires
rub piglets until they actually tip over
feed animals daily

After working an enjoyable four-hour day, none of which was in front of a computer, we were treated to some of the best meals of our lives. That's right! Super fresh, from the earth, and made with love.

If we could sum up our stay in one word it would be confirmation. Confirmation that buying a block of land and being self-sufficient is our ultimate goal for ourselves and our future family (of animals & baby Gils/Jess)
