Field Trip to Angelic Organics

Tuesday Zibby and I went on a field trip! We went to Angelic Organics Farm sponsored by the Chicago Park District, Kilbourn Park

It was a big long interesting day. Zibby and I ate fresh from the dirt cilantro and carrots and lettuce. We had a tour of the farm, ate lunch prepared from produce from the farm, milked a goat, watched cheese be made, fed chickens, and Zibby got bit on the finger by a chicken, and I got stung by a wasp. OUCH. That hurt, my friends. A lot. Here are some photos…

The goats in that picture are male goats and they were extra stinky because they were “in the mood”. Pee Ewww. Literally. Our tour guide said that the male goats urinate on themselves to attract females. (I am not writing the joke that comes to mind here)

Anyway, it was cool. Angelic Organic Farm is a CSA and has 1300 subscribers this year. They have 94 acres of land. And a nice lady used a venom extractor thingy to suck out the wasp venom where I got stung. 2 other people in our group got stung while we were there. Youch.

Zibby slept the whole way home, but I got to talk to my friend W, who is going to be my co-leader in Girl Scouts this year. I went to bed at 9pm and slept for 12 hours straight. Zibby went to bed at 10 and slept for 12 hours, too. Nice.
