DiPfeiffers Down on the Farm...

So yesterday we were lucky enought to visit Cibola Farms out in Culpeper, VA, about an hour and a half's drive from DC. This is the place we buy all our buffalo meat, pork and goat ribs from. They sell their wares every Saturday at the Farmer's Market at the top of our street and have always seemed like the nicest kind of folks. They invited us out to a farm open house and we made it into a road trip. Our friends Ben and Pete, and the Haas Family, Olivia, Peach and Quinn accompanied us for a gorgeous and fun day in the country.

We got to see goats, herds of buffalo, turkeys, and chickens. And Quinn and Henry got up close and personal with bunnies, horses, pigs, and cows.

Gooses honking at Henry.

A country boy at heart happy to be out of the big city.

Quinn: "Okay...the way I figger it, if you can distract our parents, I'll steal the tractor keys, and then we make a break for it."
