Picking and Grinning May 20, 2014

A few days ago, to celebrate an unexpected break in the weather, we drove out to Hunsader Farms to pick tomatoes.
A picture perfect day to head out into the fields.
Due to high supply and insufficient demand, the price of the U-Pick Tomatoes dropped to $2 a bag or bucket.
We picked 56 tomatoes, at the peak of perfection, to fill our bucket.
Picking and grinning the whole time.
Before leaving the farm, we wandered around the petting zoo and met the residents as they bleated, “We’re hungry. Feed us.”
Does this guy seem a bit horny to you?
In addition to hungry goats begging for oats, we spied a few other natives hanging around.
We enjoyed meeting the Hay Family ~ Fescue, Timothy, Alfalfa and Clover.
But we didn’t catch this guy’s name ~> he was a bit of a stuffed shirt.
Our bucket of summer goodness didn’t impress Tigger, despite the price.
Because man cannot live by tomatoes alone, we bought a few token sweet potatoes, zucchini, red peppers, carrots, and a cantaloupe.
We also got a 50 pound box of butternut squash for $5. Enough to fill a laundry basket in our pantry and keep us full of fiber until the fall harvest.
But the first thing we ate ~> tomatoes!
Aah . . . that’s better!
