May 19, 2015 The Honk of the Horn

Nancy feeding the donkeys

The honk of the horn brings the farm animals from wherever they are to the gates of their enclosures to receive their treats.  A couple of times a week, our local grocery store (Babbs) donates outdated produce to the farm.  The goods are picked through to weed out any rotten or moldy food and then distributed to their respective connoisseurs.  The donkeys prefer the apples and carrots, the steer's favorite is cantaloupe. 

Pam enjoys the days when she takes the truckload of goodies around to each of the animals.  The animals seemingly show their appreciation by braying, clucking, and rushing to see what is being offered.  Lloyd the goat even gives kisses.  We appreciate the produce donations and the opportunity that it affords us to interact with the outdoor animals, all creatures great and small!
