Road Trip Day #2 - Kentucky-Tennessee

Day two started out with a delicious breakfast on the farm.  We enjoyed french toast with homemade butter and peach syrup.  There was also homemade yogurt, jams, fresh eggs and turkey bacon for Amiel.  After breakfast, we took a tour of the farm with farmer Roy.  Anne and I milked a goat and everyone helped collect eggs from the chicken coup. The chickens roam freely and we also found eggs in some unexpected places (like a flower pot)! We visited a giant mama pig with her two week old piglets, cows, a peacock, bunnies, ducks, geese and a pony too.  Farmer Roy gave us the eggs we collected and a jar of homemade jam for the road.

Enjoying the kittens.

Milking a goat!  Farmer Roy and his family make homemade goat milk soap which we enjoyed during our stay.

The main house was built prior to the Civil War

Hanging out

Yelp lead us to the town of Stanford (KY) for lunch at Bluebird.  What a treat. I had a fried green tomato sandwich with pesto on a homemade bun - yum.  The restaurant was adorned with beautiful artwork and service was super friendly. After lunch we visited a local ice cream shoppe for dessert, I had the homemade Bourbon Crunch - amazing.  We ate our ice cream on the front porch and friendly Amiel struck up a conversation with an elderly woman named Martha.  She told us about the reconstruction of Logan's Fort and brought us to check it out!
