Hudson and his buddies Leif, Max, and Nathaniel spent the afternoon with their parents on the Carolina Farm Stewardship's annual Piedmont Farm Tour. Our first stop was Pickards Mountain Eco-Institute where the boys met horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. Hudson was especially drawn to the farm's power supply - a huge solar panel and wind turbine.
Next up was Maple View Farms for some ice-cream and a visit to their Agriculture Center. There, the boys got to meet some cuddly (and suprisingly tolerant) baby goats, as well as a 1-week old duckling, an alpaca, and chickens.
We only got to see a small sampling of the 40 farms on the tour. Hudson says, "We'll be back next year!!"
