6: A Working Farm DONE!

Riverbound Farm. May 6, 2011. We went out to our friends Angie and Brian McGinness' farm for an open house launching the 2011 season of their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). We aren't members of the CSA, but it was fun to visit the farm!

They had built a treehouse playset, and you can see a field in the background. Cook caught their baby geese. The yellow one is named Sunshine and the brown one is named Cookie (yup, named after Cook!!). They were SO SOFT they felt like stuffed animals!


The party had a group of bluegrass players making wonderful music the whole time we were there. Brian McGinness plays the bass so I suppose they were his friends. The farm raises chickens and gives eggs out with the CSA shares. They had a miniature horse and two great big Clydesdale-looking horses that they just bought. They are going to use them to plow the fields!! Also, they use solar panels to power the electric fences, which Cook and Aria appear to be posing dangerously close to in this picture. Riverbound Farm is an amazing place!!
