On Wednesday, November 3, Tapestry of the Desert took a field trip to the farm! It was a warm day to be outside, but we managed just fine and had a great time! Our adventure started in the barn where Farmer Jason taught us all about cows--what they eat, how they are milked and how they are given medicine when they are ill. After a brief presentation, we were off on a hayride around the dairy. We saw cows, cows and more cows! We even were able to see two baby calves that were born that morning. What a treat! Then it was time to get to work feeding the animals. The kids were able to hand feed goats, sheep, chickens and even a horse. The highlight of the afternoon was picking one of 12 flavors of milk and enjoying an ice cream sundae made with farm-fresh milk! Thanks to the Superstition Dairy in Mesa for hosting our group and giving us a great tour!
