A Morning on the Farm

My friend Kim invited me to ride with her this morning to pick up her order from Full Quiver Farm - a family farm in Suffolk, VA - and I took a few pictures to share. It was an absolutely perfect day to be outside too: sunny & 60°F!


Happy cows

Full Quiver Farm sells milk shares and grass-finished beef shares, as well as pork shares.

Chickens (for laying eggs) in their portable coop

The yellow & white trailer has been gutted and now houses dozens of nest boxes. Every three days, the trailer and the white fence are moved to a new area of the pasture, so the chickens have fresh grass to eat.


Thanksgiving turkeys

They take reservations for turkeys for Thanksgiving, and apparently it's best to reserve by early October - they're already sold out for this year!
