We practice relationship
marketing which simply means we know the people who buy our meat – the chefs,
the regulars at the farmers’ market, the locals who stop by the farm, the subscribers
of our Medley of Meats and the members of the Annapolis Buyers Club. Last weekend, our customers had a chance to
get to know us.
On Saturday, about a dozen
families came to the farm to see where some of their food is raised. Kids Day on the Farm was a huge success. The
weather was perfect for a picnic lunch on the lawn with singing Purple Martins
and cows grazing in the background.
After lunch, the kids climbed under and over Mr. Farmer Bob’s straw fort
and had a chance to pet calves Janet and Rosalita. At the next stop, which was a favorite of many
of the dads, we fired up Judy’s antique Case tractor. Once all the kids had a chance to sit on the
tractor and pose for pictures, everyone took a hike though the field where the
calves were grazing and saw the muskrat houses and learned how to identify
poison ivy. Then it was off to the barn to watch Frolic being milked. Finally, all the kids helped bottle feed the
two calves with the fresh milk. As you
can see from the photos below, a good time was had by all.
