A Future in Farming

The Velikys just returned from a week on the farm. We spent 5 days at Cornerstone Farm completing their Farm Mentorship Program learning about all kinds of livestock. It was great fun and a lot of hard work. Our schedule started at 6:30 for coffee, 7:00 morning chores, 9:00 farmer's breakfast, 10:00 Farm School, 1:00 Lunch, 2:00 Hands on Experience, 5:00 Evening farm chores, 7:00 Dinner. We covered the care and maintenance of Miniature Jersey Cows, Nigerian Goats, Barbados Sheep, Sicilian Donkeys, Chickens, Geese, Quail, Turkeys and Guineas. Here are a couple of pictures.
