Coonamessett Farm

Bevboss and Peepees are visiting Grandma and Grandpa and visiting with us in between the getting ready for school work that needs to be done.

We went to Coonamessett Farm to see the middle school (Steve and Bev had never seen it) and visit the farm.  We stayed for dinner enjoying their famous vegetarian buffet which now includes a grill with meat!  Ron bought a smoker and wants to use that toy more often than once a week.

We visited with the animals (Roxanna even walked the alpaca babies down for a visit during the buffet), picked at least eight cups of blackberries (and Braeden maybe ate 8 more cups!), and just admired the farm and the beautiful weather.
Looking at the chicks of some fancy chickens.
We hiked up  to the baby pens to see the new baby donkey.  These are Bishop Donkey's which are miniatures anyway, the baby is a miniature of a miniature!  Mom, Clementine is on the right, baby doesn't have a posted name yet.
Here is the baby.  Born in early August.
Ron has recently put up a wind turbine which will power at least his greenhouses this winter.  This is a special turbine which can be lowered in the event of a hurricane, or if it needs repair.
