I got to visit the farm that is pictured on the extra sharp Cabot cheddar cheese.

 

 

 

 

I had my own tour guide.

 

 

First  we met the farm dog, um, actually I can’t remember his name.

 

 

We stopped in at the barn.

 

 

Met the calves.

 

 

They were in the middle of dinner.

 

 

Then we headed out across the corn fields

 

 

And down the hill.

 

 

And back up the hill.

 

 

And then to the top of the hill.

 

 

Ahh.

 

 

I knew I liked that cheese.

 

Hello November!

These photos didn’t fit the prompts but I like them anyway.

Well, actually it’s sweet potatoes and carrots but it tasted pretty good.

Found a new friend.

 

The Bragg Farm is a great little place in East Montpelier and the most perfect place for a 4 year old.

 

 

 

They sell you grain to feel their animals.

 

 

 

My niece watched her mom feed the mini horse.

 

 

She tried it

 

 

but the horse started nibbling her fingers.

 

 

My sister showed her how to keep her hand flat.

 

 

My niece with the whole thing and just threw the grain a the horse.

 

 

 

 

The horse begged shamelessly.

 

 

So she tried feeding it from the cup.

 

 

 

 

Inside the have maple creemees.

 

 

Past the maple cream samples

 

 

mustards,

 

 

jams,

 

 

 

and racks of fudge

 

 

is the ice cream!

 

 

 

 

Good to the last drop.

 

 

If all that wasn’t enough, there is a beautiful view too.

I made two pies and they're both gone before I've even posted the recipe!
 I start by chopping the nuts. The nut chopping it the most complicated part of the whole recipe.

Beat the eggs then add maple syrup and vanilla.

mix together.

 Pour in the nuts.
