Jill's Journal: I can’t even guess how many orchards/farms/pick-your-own fruit and vegetables/fresh produce-type places I’ve taken our girls to over the years, first in Kentucky (we had three favorites around Lexington) and now stretching from Maine to California. It’s been a lot. And they never seem to tire of them. When the farms include a petting zoo, such as the one at Avila Valley Barn near San Luis Obispo, well, it’s double the fun.
We started with a wagon ride around the farm, which has been here since the 1980s.
The girls absolutely loved the live music, best enjoyed with an ice cream cone, of course.
We came home with strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and honey, but naturally the animals were the biggest hit. For $0.25 apiece, each kid got a large bag of lettuce, watermelon rinds, etc. to feed to the animals. Can’t beat that.
God bless places like Avila Valley Barn. Not only are they wonderful places for a family to spend an afternoon and pick up delicious fresh produce, but they also help satiate little want-to-be farm girls’ hearts. :)
