Northeast Florida Tour de Farm Pictures

Today was one of those days where time seemed to stand still. I know I am very into this whole food-farm-connection thing, but the atmosphere today was truly joyful. From the weather, to the music, to the food, to the animals, to the people present, this was a perfect afternoon. 

I spent the most time at Black Hog Farm in East Palatka where we had lunch, listened to Joel Salatin, and walked the farm. The Watkins family did a tremendous job of making everyone feel welcomed.

We also stopped at the University of Florida's Extension Research facility where my husband's aunt is a master gardener volunteer. She showed us what she has been working on in alternative crops and hydroponic growing. It was fascinating. 

Here are some pictures from the day. I hope they capture how great of a day it was. I'll follow up with some thoughts later in the week. Enjoy!
