Oh my goodness!!
Hehe! I made a new friend this morning :)
SO CUTE!! The calf didn’t have teeth yet, so instead of nibbling the food out of my hands it just started sucking on them! :) It drew my entire hand into its mouth, lol!
I was cracking up. Their tongues are like sandpaper :)
And then… I learned how to MILK A COW!!!
I even got some milk to come out! :)
We were at farm #4 bright and early this morning for the fun. I’ll be featuring them in a special post later this week as well, with more details about cow milking in particular!
MY OTHER RECIPES
And then… we went to CANADA!
We were literally a mile from the border, so clearly I requested we go so I can say I’ve been to Canada now ;)
Tina and I were pretty pumped ;)
We just checked out of our beautiful bed and breakfast and are now back on the road — New Hampshire or bust!
While in Vermont, we stayed at the Tabor House Inn, which was awesome. Highly recommended if you are in the area! I’ll be doing a post later this week all about the food we had there (including some recipes!), but for now — pictures of the inn :)
This bird reminds me of Florida! :)
I’m in love with this porch that was off my room (photos of my beautiful room are in this post!):
The inn is open year round, and they also host weddings. Apparently every weekend the rest of the summer is booked with one! I can see why — the house is gorgeous and it has such a beautiful view of the lake!
Plus — guess what? The owner’s daughter was just crowned Miss Vermont three weeks ago, and will be competing in the Miss America pageant in January! How awesome!
We’re all rooting for her, now :) Especially since she was sweet enough to put on her crown and sash for us!
Gotta run — we are just pulling into the Ben & Jerry’s factory! Yesssss. On the docket this afternoon is another organic dairy farm, and then an organic veggie farm that offers a CSA (community supported agriculture). Cool!
Stay tuned :)
Love this post! How fun…Love that you stopped by Canada to say hi…I mean why not? The Inn looks amazing!
you are such a dork.
but I still love you.
I say hello back from Canada!
Looks like you are having a blast!
Wonderful! What a tremendous weekend. And it’s not done yet! Looking fwd to next post….
This looks like SO much fun!!! I want to be a barnstormer :) but I will settle for reading about it. Glad you made it to Canada :)
That looks like a such a fun weekend! So jealous :)
Ohhh the calf is so cute! Glad you finally made it to Canada, but that’s no excuse, we still need to plan a trip to Montreal!!! :) Glad you’re having a good time! :)
Just saying .. those jeans are awesome. And jealous you milked a cow and went to Canada!
What a fun post! I like how you guys just leaped across to Canada, lol. How fun!! The baby cow is sooo adorable.

ooooh fun fun fun! And that Inn? GORGEOUS!
I live in New Hampshire, so it is so cool for me to see/read about things on blogs that I actually have been to. There aren’t too many New England/New Hampshire bloggers so this is interesting for me :)
Anne,
i LOVE these blogs!!! Being born and raised in NOVA, I’ve always had a fascination & appreciation for farms. I think they are amazing!! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Oh, fun roadtrip!
It looks like you’re having a blast on the Barnstorming Tour! The last (and only) time I milked a cow was when I visited a petting farm in pre-school. :-)
I love B&B’s! So quaint and cute!
Just catching on your SF adventures here! Loving the info about Organics and look at you – jet-setting over the borders. Keep it comin’…. :)
love the pics!
I love your level of excitment to have been to Canada now lol. I knew about Miss Vermont from Christina’s blog but I didn’t realize that meant she would be part of the upcoming Miss America. That is super exciting for her. Yeah Miss Vermont.
Looks like you had a blast!
