Wynola field trip


One of the many cool things about working at The Linkery are the fun projects and activities of which we get to be a part. On Tuesday we went out to Wynola, 3 miles right before Julian, and we checked out a couple of farms, Albert's Organics and Womack Ranch. Albert, his wife Lydia, and their son Jehtro (seen here), raise these goats the natural way. Curtis from Womack ranch raises natural chickens and his land is right next to Alberts. It was so nice to be out there in the spring and connecting with them. They are so passionate about what they do and are the nicest.



Here is a little buddy posing for the camera. He was like "oh you want a picture, here you go then"


Farmer Juan feeding the goats. They were so friendly and just loving the fact that we were feeding them. After that we moved them to a new area with fresh pasture for them and they soon forgot about us.



Right before we left we had lunch out on Albert's table and chair, Max had packed us a lunch with North Park Meat Co beef pepperoni, cheddar cheese, and The Linkery's house made semolina roll. Then Albert brought out a bottle of red wine from a local winery, Orfila, and we just sat there enjoying that moment. Its interesting how those simple things can just make your day. We all left pretty happy, especially Ethan and I which we made a stop at Holiday Wine Cellars and Lost Abbey. Good day all in all!
