Okay, so let’s just get something clear, we weren’t chickens that are really picking

Chicken Pickin’!

but we had been chicken that is picking. (and as their revenge, the birds had been picking – or should we say pecking – us city slickers need to get out on to a farm and get close to nature… Bok bok bok! zoosk cost (that’s chicken-speak for “it’s g d to get out of the city”) at us.) Yep, even.

Where did we meet the crazy chicks? An 80 acre farm out in Westchester (near Tarrytown) at Stone Barns Center. The farm is just about 80 years old and was started by John Rockefeller Jr in the 1930s for the only reason so he started his own dairy farm that he did not like pasteurized milk! If perhaps life had been this simple for everybody else. But back in to the story.

Stone Barns happens to be a educational center of kinds since 2004 and additionally they have actually all sorts of c l activities – from a little farmers system to tours and far, more. It’s a place that is really nice simply to circumambulate.

One of their tasks is really egg picking. To ensure that is what we signed up for. Fundamentally we obtain a small tour for the chickens – how they reside then get to pick eggs through the r st. Rock barns actually has two forms of chicken – one for egg pickin’ plus one for bone pickin’ – if you know what we mean (i.e. chickens that lay eggs and chickens that folks eat! It is possible to guess that are the happier chicks!).

It is extremely advisable to wear b ts (like rain galoshes) and pants that are long this experience because the chicks are very curious and it will be somewhat terrifying when 200 of them decide they want to have a peck at your feet. None associated with young children who were part of the team had been particularly delighted about this. Responses ranged from tears to refusing to enter the “chicken zone”. It, our own reactions were less than impressive though we are ashamed to admit. We’ll just keep it at that. Nonetheless, we did have the ability to collect some eggs!

Don’t mess with me, yo!

By the way, enjoyable fact, exactly how eggs that are many one hen lay in per week? Just 5! They just take two days off just like us! Therefore if each “chicken zone” has 200 hens, meaning 1000 eggs per week! Our team most likely just collected around 100, which we left for the farmers to clean and clean. Being a reward for the work, we each go 4 eggs to take home ( through the egg ch sing the time prior to, so still super fresh).

After gathering the eggs, we washed our fingers and headed backup to the farm. We l ked at what all ended up being growing within the fruit that is little veggie spot area and tested the small farmers market.

We then headed to the Blue Hill Cafe in the farm to have some meal. The ice-cream cart was also out so for dessert, our grandma wanted to treat us with a icecream (J wasn’t into the m d for candies because he hurt their little finger on the cafe home plus he’s just inc that is interested as well as the flavors associated with day had been blueberry and milk jam). L went for the milk jam ice-cream, that has been a brilliant creamy, almost caramely type of ice-cream.

That it was a super hot day, we would have explored the farm a little more if it were not for the fact. The time that is last went egg-picking, there actually was more of a farm tour and we got to see more pets (cows, sheep, turkeys and pigs). But with 102F climate, we simply wished to go home plus it seemed as if the trip had been a bit shorter than usual. Still, a super fun time. But time that is next we’ll go as s n as the weather is really a little more forgiving – maybe into the Fall.

THE LOWDOWN usage of the farm complimentary Parking $5 (cash) [free for members] Egg-picking $12 (per person; best to make reservations online). Great for all ages.
