We have to go back to be able to come forward - a few weekends ago we visited a little farmlet about an hour's drive from here. The young couple, particularly the wife/mother, has a passion for sharing the story of how food arrives on the table. She hosts school groups, mothers groups, birthday parties, open days and market days in an attempt to spread the message. Kids can get up close and personal with and feed and touch the animals. We went to the most recent market day and spent a nice morning wandering around. It's not a huge enterprise by any means but when you're as passionate about what you do as this young woman is, size doesn't matter. She totally loves what she does.
These two were a bit naughty (the sheep I mean).
We were standing there watching them - Lamb 1 forced it's way out through the gate then lamb 2 stood back, thought for a second, then launched himself at the gate, bolted through the gap and the two of them took off through the next paddock and up to the house paddock (where they apparently usually live). We stood watching in astonishment!
Mama Pig, rather pregnant.
