Indian Summer Excursion

 























Summer like weather, combined with the prospect of a beautiful country drive to a local farm, had us scurrying out of the house on Sunday. 








 




The scenery on the drive out there was gorgeous.









 Colors just beginning to turn, rolling hills, pristine farms, all screamed OCTOBER.


Our destination was Beltane Farm, where their Autumn Cheese Festival was being held.


Beltane Farm is a goat farm, producing award winning goat cheese, as well as feta.


As you can imagine, there were lots of goats.

 And even a goat grave; here lies Mattie, who inspired many a story.



  The farm is very picturesque too, with hundred year old stone walls, 
wild flowers, statutes, and wooden fences. (and chickens!)





There were cheese samplings, wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, bread and cookie samples, kettle corn and cold cider.



And that's how we spent one sunny October Sunday.

What did you do on Sunday?
