The Farm

We had an action-packed weekend that began Saturday morning with "The Farm." The Farm is in a nondescript and very suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. It consists of a variety of ramshackle structures that appear to have been completely overtaken by goats. I have never seen so many goats in my life. It's hard to imagine that it is not a public health hazard to have dozens of goats in a residential neighborhood, but we will most certainly not be reporting the farm to the authorities as Jack and Sadie LOVED it. Jack could not get enough of the retired tractors all over the place. Just as public health is not a big concern at the farm, neither is child safety. The kids had the run of the place and were allowed to climb on anything they wanted. Sadie was thrilled with the ancient ponies, who provided pony rides and let us feed them apples.

We met our friends Dan, Ronite, and baby Maytar at the farm. Maytar was a very good sport about the aggressive goats who were much larger than he. It appears that these goats survive by getting food from toddlers, so they were constantly trying to nibble on anything, and anyone, who might have grain.

While it was far from an authentic farm experience, The Farm proved to be a true crowd pleaser.
