To wrap up a wonderful visit from my brother-in-law, Dave and 13 year old niece, Caitlyn, I took them to
Tara Firma Farms in southern Petaluma ( I street at San Antonio Rd). I called Tara at 8am this morning and she said we were welcome to stop by. Since I had been there before and knew the lay of the land, I led us around the lower property to visit the animals, vegetable garden, and store.
When we arrived Joey and Regina greeted us and told us where to find the baby pigs.
First we stopped in the baby chick house. Caitlyn and I loved holding and petting the super soft adorable baby chicks and listening to them cheep and munch their food and huddle in groups! We didn't want to leave but realized there were piglets to see!
We stopped and saw large pigs cooling themselves off in the silky mud, then found a large mama and her 4 piglets. Dave hung out with the mama as Caitlyn and I took pictures of the mama and adorable babies. We wandered around the expansive vegetable gardens and visited the chicken coops as we discovered increasingly larger and larger chickens in each successive coop.
Our final stop was the produce and meat store. Regina gave us some super tasty plums from her trees! "The best around," she proudly told us. And they were!
I purchased some lettuce, beets, collard greens, green onions and she even sold me a half dozen of the precious eggs! shhhhh! I hear they are quite valuable this time of year and I felt honored to come home with some!
We also chatted with Joey, Tara's son, and played with their dogs. Joey took us up to the main house and Tara came out to greet us. It is so wonderful to have this environmentally friendly family owned farm nearby. They are such a wonderful, generous, loving family and I love bringing people to visit the farm!
