Getting ready for the big day at Full of Life Farm. Guests start to arrive and everybody groups up for the first event - the Farm Tour. Special thanks to family and Staff for all the preparations for this big day, and to Marvin & Jodi Pierce for their horse help with parking!

The first stop on the Farm Tour was the Turkey raising pen. Lots of questions were asked by guests and Bernard educated the crowds on his Turkey raising practices.

The next stop on the Farm Tour was the chickens. First the egg-layers/pasture "optimizers" then the meat chickens in their mobile brooders. A great question and answer session took place and everyone learned how healthy Full of Life Farm eggs and chickens are.

The last stop on the Farm Tour was a visit to one of the cattle grazing areas. Bernard gave a demonstration of how easy it was for him to move his cattle from one grazing section to another and explained his practice of "strip grazing" and how this maintains the health of the land. Lots of questions from the crowd.

Once the Farm Tour was finished, Marvin Pierce of Pierce's Cow Dogs gave an awesome demonstration on the use of dogs for cattle herding. He had his great Hangin' Tree Cowdog, Sport and Cattle Master dog, Chic with him.

Hi Bernard, The farm looks great and the Farm Day looks like it was a success! I didn’t see rabbit on the menu yet, how is Rachael’s endeavor progressing? Rabbit seems to be catching on down here in restaurants, so I hope she figures out a sustainable production method. You look super busy, so maybe we won’t see you next week, which will be understandable. Congratulations! Karen
