Today we set out on a family adventure. Our valley has the family farm festival once a year in October and it's an event we try to make. We set out to tour as many farms as time would allow, so let me take you on a tour of the places we visited today!
We visited the Taylor Family Shellfish Farm first. We got to sample some shellfish, play with critters and even have a crab race. We really enjoyed this unique type of farm!
Here are some ways they catch the crabs. . . .
The boys inspect the oyster harvesting machine. There are lots of oyster beds in the bay and the shellfish farmers harvest them much like a produce farmer brings in his harvest! We've hiked up the mountain behind this farm and can plainly see the oyster beds from up above. It looks like a regular dirt farm! The tide was in and high, so we couldn't see the "farm".
