Springdell Farm, Littleton MA

Today we were invited to bring a picnic lunch and get a guided tour of Springdell Farm's herd of cattle. In addition to their vegetable CSA (which I signed up for this year), they also have a meat CSA. Apparently, they have a really long wait list, so I'm happy we are already shareholders at Chestnut Farm out in Hardwick. Plus, we love Kim and Rich, our farmers there. Anyway, we got a really good look at some of their herd (including babies born a couple of days ago--baby cows are so cute), and learned about their livestock practices.

It was a beautiful day for a picnic and to walk around the fields. They were full of spring wildflowers, which seemed to be well-serviced by a couple of hives hanging around.

I can hardly wait for their vegetable CSA to begin!
