Falling in Love


I'm finding that I may be letting myself fall in love with this place a little too easily. I love the people, the animals, the effort that this farm is making to provide for its restaurants and for the customers to  get only the best. 




My second day on the Farm was just as incredible as the first!
I may have gone a little horse crazy this week though...

 




Our beautiful lady of the pack, Blue.










Our wild baby! Tip!! 






Tally has the best hair!!
                                         

Our Ponies...
                                                                   Merlin

When I was about 8 or 9 I rode on my first horse in Breckenridge. I  have been hooked ever since then and every opportunity I have I try my hardest to ride. Unfortunately EVERY TIME it never worked out. My lovely family at the farm finally made my dream come true to get back on a horse and it was amazing!!!  



























Thank you Chase for capturing such a memorable moment  for me......












And for the lovely surprises in my phone!! 









An amazing day once again! 
EXCEPT.... I got brutally attacked by our Rooster!
While feeding the breakfast to the Chickens I might have accidentally dumped the food on him. Let me tell you, there is nothing scarier than being trapped in a chicken coop with a pissed off roster! He flew at me wrapped his wings around my left leg and continuously pecked at my leg! Doesn't sound that bad but I was scared for my life for a moment. 



One of my favorite things to do on the farm
right now is harvest the chicken eggs.
Sometimes it is scary to have the chickens
squawking at you and biting your
hand but it is still an incredible experience. 
















The goats are still amazing and healthy. I hope this snow storm isn't to hard on the animals. I got tons of funny videos of the Goats eating my coat and climbing all over me! I love them so much! 




We spent a ton of time in the field this passed week getting it all cleaned up and ready for the big snow. My body has never been this sore but it is getting me in some great shape! It is hard work out in the fields but I am loving it. Especially when you get to do it with some friends. I loved these guys!! We talked in Spanish all day...well they spoke spanish and made fun of my Spanglish. 


MI AMIGOS!!! 






Goodbye beautiful lettuce. See you next year.









 

                   


Artichokes are one of my favorite vegetables and I got to work with some at Leaf this past week. I just think they are so beautiful. 







My days at the farm are filled with laughs, new experiences and pure joy! At the end of the day I find myself not wanting to leave and reminding myself I get to come back in a few days. I am so thankful to feel this way about my job.


Stay tuned,
❤ Sarah Ruth
