Harvest Party

Oxbow Farm is this wonderful farm out in Carnation, Washington, that we get our CSA (community supported agriculture) box from. This year, we shared 20 boxes for the season with our friends, Nate & Kate, from mid-May until mid-October. It's a fantastic way to make sure we're getting some of nature's yummy goodness into our tummies. At the end of the season, Oxbow puts on a harvest party at their farm & invites all its CSA members.

That is where we ended up today on a gorgeous fall afternoon! There was a whole roasted pig as the main course, and everyone was asked to bring a dish to share. Our contribution was eggrolls. Vincent really enjoyed it, even if we never made it on the tractor hay ride.

Other fun things included a ride in a wheel barrow, eating some delicious food, the two little frogs croaking when Vincent sang his frog song, and an apple cider press that Vincent really wanted to help crank but was a little small for (not to mention the big kids hoggin' it up & not giving him a turn as he patiently asked, "Turn? Turn?").
