Natick Community Organic Farm

Friday gave us sunshine so the girls and I headed to the Natick Community Organic Farm to visit with our sweet animal friends.  There are lots of babies at this time of year and it is always exciting watching the fields being planted and see the many bottles of maple syrup produced from the trees right there on the farm. 

The "sugar shack" where the maple syrup is made is right behind the sign.  Volunteers work there nonstop, 24-hours per day during syrup season.

Unfortunately, this farm is not a sanctuary, so it is also a good reminder for our family about why we are vegetarians and vegans.  These funny, adorable little piglets will be slaughtered by autumn.

They were so sweet, holding hands all day.  The next day...not so much.

This cow loved Willow.

At the school playground next to the farm.  So worn out that she almost fell asleep in this position!
