Taos farmer's market

It says "Just Kidding Farm & Goat Club". This adorable pre-teen boy complete with a cracking voice told me all about buying into a goat share, this way people can buy unpasteurized goat milk products. For sale was cheese, kefir, cream, and baked goods made with raw goat milk-yay!

This bee guy says he and his daughter started raising bees and selling honey by accident. He claims they have steered clear of colony collapse because they "baby" their bees--most importantly only letting them pollinate in organic, pesticide-free fields. I bought the wild flower honey--mmm mmm good!



These farmers have a 5 acre farm where they raise turkeys and heirloom varieties of plants. They save the seeds and sell them at market along with the turkey feathers from turkeys they harvest. Because there isn't a processing plant nearby (not that you could trust a USDA processing plant anyway) they invite people to come to the farm and partake in the harvesting process. This way they are able to sell their turkey meat--sort of like the "goat club" above.



And here's what I scored...local honey, turkey feathers and 3 (the white ones) duck eggs--I only had 3 spots to fill.
