a trip to the farm

a few days ago i went with my mom, christalyn, and matt to heritage hen farm in boynton. in the summer they're only open from 5pm-7pm. i found out about them from the delray green market that was held on saturdays in the fall and spring. i was craving their raw butter and decided to get everyone together to go get some delicious raw farm fresh ingredients. 

the cows were beautiful. and look at those horns!

i got to feed her sunflower leaves. 

cute food stand :) 


huge foot wide sunflower 


they have 200!


i got half  a dozen fresh eggs, raw butter, raw cream, and raw cheese.

and i'm soooo happy :) 

and why is that?

"raw butter provides the missing good and beneficial fats, which are rare in the standard american diet. raw butter from grass pasture fed cows is filled with metabolically available vitamin A and E, lecithin, antioxidants, selenium, healthy cholesterol, beneficial bacteria, and enzymes. raw butter contains factor X: essential for optimal bone, brain, and nervous system development."

pasteurization kills nutrients!

check out this website for more info! 

raw is definitely costly, but worth it. soon i'll be making my own.
