A Trip to Abundant Life Farm

Several months ago our whole family and several friends started talking about and looking for more sustainable food sources in our local Portland area. We are already gardening and eating fruits and veggies from home and markets.... but we also discovered a terrific buyers club to try some locally raised meats. So this last weekend, several of our friends went with us to visit farmer Scott at Abundant Life Farm. This family raises cattle, broilers, hogs, turkeys, lambs and more with a deep passion and respect for their land and animals and it is amazing! Farmer Scott showed as all the animals, told us all about their farm practices, and we all had a picnic lunch at the farm. It was nice to finally see it for ourselves and made us feel so good to be supporting the farm. Take a look:

Pigs rooting in the woods... broilers hanging out in some cool pens that get moved across the land...














Collecting turkey feathers...














Eggs...













Walking to see the turkeys... (yep, thinking about thanksgiving)













The younger cows and lambs hanging out waiting to be moved to a new grazing area...













Picnic at the end....
