Today Little Man and his preschool class took a field trip to an Amish farm just a few minutes from our town. We saw calves, dairy cows, chickens, hens, and horses. I took a few pictures of the horses and the view of the farm. This farm is also certified organic as well. Mr. Schmucker said it's a lot of work, but the animals are much healthier, which means their food is healthier. They grow corn, hay, and other food items for their own use.
This is BJ. He pulls the buggy that transports the family.
This is Doc the draft horse. He works in the fields.
Mr. Schmucker was very nice. He had two little girls and a little boy, but they wouldn't speak to us. They hung out with their dad and studied us carefully. There must be a baby in the family, too, because there were little blue hand-made baby clothes and blankets hanging on the clothes line with the rest of the family's clothes. At first I wanted to take a picture of it, but decided not to. I didn't think it would be appropriate. We weren't there to tour their home life. We were there to see the farm and the animals.
