At the farm there are lots of animals to look at and you can even feed the sheep, goats, and pigs! I fed the goats, though I was admittedly terrified at first. They were REALLY excited about getting fed (I mean really excited), and I could only imagine they would be equally excited to eat my hand. Fortunately they crave oats instead of fresh human blood so all the injury I sustained was a slobbery palm. We also saw a chicken lay an egg and learned that the average milk cow produced 6 1/2 gallons of milk a day. This sheds a whole new light on my grandma, whose chore it was to milk the cows. That is a LOT of milking. So although I have still never been to a State Fair (thanks, Kari), I have now been to a farm.
Checking out the horses. That would be a horse in the left corner; he was camera-shy.
Baaaaaaaaaaa.
These guys are SO cute, now I think I want a pet pig, and possibly a spider named Charlotte.
Me, the voyeur, watching the chicken lay an egg.
More chickens. They are an extremely talkative animal.

Fun stuff! Kirsta you should really be careful with those little guys, they'll take your fingers right off.
I've never technically been to a farm, but I think Brian's parent's house should count. They have horses, pigs, two dogs, two cats, and a chicken coop. And I HAVE eaten fresh eggs from their chickens.
My brother raised rabbits and rats growing up, plus we had ducks and hamsters, as well as fish and crawdads. All that PLUS 5 kids. It was like a farm. Or maybe a zoo.
Cute! I'm sad I missed this one. I feel ya on the goats--I am so not a fan of feeding them. Goat slopper completely grosses me out. Blech.
