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.
