Sandy Plains Farm had a great time today at the Farm Festival. Like anything else when going somewhere offsite, there was a lot of packing to do!
We had a wonderful tent (borrowed from a good friend!), a table with books on raising all different animals, chairs to rest on, a table with Nester, our New Zealand buck, and a table with the Silkies and Peepers. Folks just loved the chickens!
Russell would take one or the other Silkie out and let the kids (and adults too) pet them. Many asked questions and learned a little bit.
Nester was a big hit too. We had taken the cage roof off and had a stool for the little folks so that all could pet him. He was the most perfect rabbit!
We sold a lot of eggs and even a few aloe plants that had just been re-potted.
We also had a "mini hay baler" on display. We had grass clippings and a sign that said you could make your own bale if you wanted. It didn't attract much attention. I was surprised at first until someone asked what a hay bale was. Oh.
It was good to get home.
