The Little Farm

One of the days while Shelby was visiting we decided to head over to Berkeley. No, we didn't join in with the supporters of the tree sitters, but we headed over to Tilden Regional Park to go to the The Little Farm.

Our first stop were the bird cages.


By far, this was Ava's favorite part of the farm. She couldn't get enough of staring at the chickens, geese, and turkeys. I couldn't even break her concentration to get a picture!


There was a handful of animals that you could go watch and feed. And the best part is that it is entirely free! I'd pick the farm over the zoo any day!


The farm allows you to either feed the animals celery or lettuce. We learned pretty quickly that the cows were not a fan of eating celery. So we'll have to make a mental note to bring lettuce next time for them. So Ava, being the sweet little girl she is, didn't want the celery to go to waste and took it upon herself to chow down on the celery.


The other animals were not as picky as the cows. Here is Shelby making a quick friend with a sheep at the farm. Ava actually cried out in terror the first time the sheep tried taking the piece of celery from Shelby. But once she realized that the sheep wasn't going to bite off Shelby's hand, she was a little bit more relaxed. But she was still very cautious around the bigger animals.


The goats were actually fighting each other for the celery. If you look closely you can see one of the goats bitting the other goat's ear.


The farm was a great way to spend the morning. It you live in the area I totally recommend taking your little tykes there. There is even a playground and picnic tables outside of the farm.
