Know Your Farms tour 2012

I THOUGHT THIS POSTED LAST WEEK BUT IT DIDN'T....SO HERE YOU GO!!

This is the 4th year that Wild Turkey Farms has participated in the Know Your Farms (KYF) farm tour.  We enjoy having everyone come out & visit, see the farm &; listen to us talk about the farm.

What you may not realize is all the work that goes into getting ready for the farm tour.  The week before was filled with the guys at the farm bush hogging to make sure there was a clear path to walk on, moving fences & animals around so they would be close enough to see (& they still hid under the trees out of the sun), moving equipment, and the list goes on......

We also worked both of our Farmer's Markets on Saturday so we had our usual Friday night getting ready for the Market party.  We were up before dawn on Saturday to get everything ready for the Markets & the tour and I'm sure we still forgot some stuff.

Trust me Lee & I could not do this by ourselves.

Thanks to Robbie, Matt & Adam for all the help during the week cleaning up & all the help on Saturday.

Thanks to Ben, Courtney & Joe for working the Market trailer at Davidson & the Farm Tour.

Thanks to Ashley & Judy for selling WTF t-shirts & aprons.  We almost sold completely out so we'll be placing another order soon.

Thanks to Becky for bringing the ice, helping answer questions & playing tour guide.

A great big THANK YOU to Lee because he always works so hard to make sure everything is ready!

We also had great volunteers with KYF helping us again this year.

And of course all of you that came out to visit THANK You!!  We hope you had a great time & come back to visit again.

I always have great intentions of taking pictures but things always seem to happen.....like not charging my camera battery & only getting a few pictures........
Again thanks to all who helped make the KYF farm tour a success this year.

                                       This was a very popular place to get pictures made that day.


                                       Charlie even wanted to get his picture made on the tractor!


                               These are not all of our volunteers that day but they were the ones who were                         there while my camera battery was working!  Again thanks to ALL of our volunteers!!!
