I decided yesterday when I did the grocery shopping that I was going to take the kids to a farm to pick up the meats. Today we went on a field trip to Blood Farm in Groton, MA. We picked up some lamb (which I plan to use for stew tonight), some beef, some chicken, bacon, and eggs...and a couple of bones for the dog.
It was an experience for the kids to learn the differences between a small farm and what we buy at the grocery store, especially where my daughter is an animal lover, for her to see animals treated humanely, without hormone treatments, was important. We don't often eat meat in my house, but I'm now really making a concerted effort to take that trip to the farm when we need some.
It was relaxing, a lovely drive thru the country, a great experience for my kids, and I'm REALLY looking forward to the stew tonight!
...to say nothing for the brunch tomorrow with fresh eggs, bacon, and fresh baked bread!!!!!
