Tours & Lunch at Golden Acres Ranch

A good crowd came out to learn more about the Golden Acres Ranch this past weekend and a good time was had by all. There were hay ride tours of the ranch, goats and lambs were all about and the chickens and fresh eggs were fantastic.  There was mayhaw jelly to taste and buy, and quilting demonstrations too.  Too bad drought and wind did such a number on the crop this year and prevented any u-pick.  Check their web site this time next year for a crop update.

It was like a mini "foodie" convention as visitors from Full Circle Farm, Kurtz Dairy and our dedicated volunteers relaxed in the park like setting of the ranch to talk food.  Slow Food Tallahassee sold a wonderful green salad with greens, carrots, sugar snaps and onions donated by Turkey Hill Farm, Claire, and SaraKeith.  We also sold a yummy tortellini salad donated by Rebecca.  And the chickens gladly did away with our prep scraps too!  Happy, happy day.
