Moody Tree Farm - Part 1

Please take a moment after you've read today's post and hit the "Farm Website" button, above left. There are three new pages which show all five 2015 calves which are for sale, as well as a page of my beginner's experiences and observations with Red Poll Cattle. Thank you.

Before I retired and was driving to and from the farm on a regular basis, I used to pass by a farm in the high peaks region with brown barns and interesting animals - especially their Texas Longhorns. I recently discovered on the internet that this is tree farm with a big Adirondack themed gift shop. So I drove back down to visit the place, passing their Longhorns, resting in a field:

And they had a tall sign, which I had failed to see all the times I'd driven by in the past:

I pulled in, passing by their large brown residence, and parked among the brown barns:

I wasn't sure, but it appeared that this building was the gift shop. So I went in:

Indeed it was an Adirondack themed gift shop, and a rather large one at that. They were certainly getting ramped up for Christmas:

There were Adirondack and Christmas themed kitchen goods:

Gingerbread plates, snowmen, Santas and cookie jars shaped like Victorian houses:

Christmas trees and wreaths and cups and wine glasses:

An old wood stove, cleverly used as a display table:

Reindeer, loons and small, furry bears. They also had antler candlesticks:

A Santa train. This place was bigger than I had imagined and there was much more to see. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
