We recently went on a tour at Gibbett Hill Farm in Groton. Our local farm owns some cattle there, and they hosted a tour to let the customers see the cows and how they are raised. (To “meet the meat”, if you will.) It was great to see that all the cows are completely free range, eating grass from the fields just like a cow was meant to be doing. We’ve always been advocates of locally-grown and locally raised, but after seeing documentaries like Food, Inc we are even stronger believers of knowing where our food comes from.
Anyway, this one field was almost completely filled with giant buttercup flowers. The kids picked several handfuls each to give to Mom. I tried a few different perspectives on the flowers looking for a nice shot. They were pretty, but this photo tells more of the story than any of them. It was a beautiful day to be out, and the group really enjoyed being out in the fields. The cows, bye the way, are hanging out the shade over the hill to the left.
