Today we took a trip to Schlagel Farm. It is a local farm that is family owned and run for almost 100 years. The family bought it in 1911, and grew Tobacco until the 1980's. Today they have Angus cows which they keep until age 5 months, chickens, and lots of vegtables such as Kale, Peas, Broccoli, Egg Plant, and more. They open thier farm twice a year to the community. Fall for Pumpkin picking, and Spring for Strawberry picking. I always love going to a Farm. Makes me wish we had 5 or more acres to ourselves. The upkeep would be A LOT of work, but I imagine well worth it.
