We've been friends with the Fugate family since Asher and Journey were 4! Look how much they've grown since our time together in Alaska. Their two oldest sons are now grown and serving in the military!
It's always fun to see the animals they have. Asher, Journey and I took turns accompanying the kids as they completed their farm jobs.
Then it was time to milk the cows.
Straining the milk, then separating the cream. Afterwards I made butter for the first time with Jessica's instruction!
I was able to accompany Jessica at the Farmer's Market where she sells the food her family raises, bakes and grows. Her sourdough bread is delicious and now she makes specialty flavors also. Despite the rain, it was a successful day and we enjoyed our time together.
Have you ever seen such a beautiful pantry? All the fresh, organic food they've grown and canned, or freeze dried line the shelves.
I had no idea you could freeze dry avocados or oranges!
And then I spotted this pork leg- aged prosciutto! I was really intrigued by this, so Johnny cut us a slice. It was actually really good!
Twice we took a trip to the nearby river where the kids had tons of fun!
Journey gave everyone an arial acrobatics show!
This may be the last time we get to visit our friends at this beautiful farm. During our time together, they decided to put the farm on the market. That same day the packing and painting began. We're excited for what's ahead for this sweet family.
