Wordless Wednesday- Farm Visit

by Rachel McFadden on October 21, 2009

I took these photos this week at Springfield Farm, MD where I buy my dog her meat.  It is an organic farm where I also buy meat for our family, and just ordered our Thanksgiving Turkey!

I think it would be freaky to see the animals I’ll later be eating. I would rather be in the dark. So therefore I don’t do farms. LOLOLOL.

I miss ordering a turkey for Thanksgiving! We used to do it in my first marriage and it was always so juicy and tender.

We love going to the farm too. There is literally one behind our property. The boys love seeing all of the animals.

I love these photos! Farming is really close to home for me, living in a rural area :)
BTW I love how you have redone your blog – the header looks AMAZING!

Glad you all like my photos! I learned something when I went to the farm and asked about the Turkeys. They have 2 types, one that is raise in a pasture and the other raised in a hut. The reason they do this is because the ones raised indoors are more confined and they grow more quickly because they can’t run around. The price of the pasture-raised is $4/lb and the other is $2.50/lb. I also learned that Turkeys kill each other and themselves! The farm hatched 600 turkeys this year and are now down to 200 because of fights and suicide (crazy, huh?)
