I want to live on a farm...

This weekend we were lucky enough to head out of the city... but not too far... to a fancy farm off Highway 27.

Who knew a piece of farm paradise would be so close to Toronto!

We walked the land, hung out with goats, sheep and their babies... a chicken and her babies... we ate grapes off the vine, drank juice made from homegrown vegetables, ate salad made with tomatoes that actually were ripened on the vine and thanks to Frank took home fresh eggs (so fresh they still had feathers on them!) and the best smelling goat cheese ever!

I have loved goats since I was a kid... the idea of providing for my family and community from my very own land is not only a dream but a move I know will be a reality one day. We already grow our own vegetables and one day hope to have our own animals for eggs and milk only... I love them so much I can't imagine eating them. Goats are smart, cuddly and loving creatures... and I can't wait to have a few of my own...

Ah farm dreamin'
