Last weekend, I spent some time with my new goat buddies Upstate. Only a week old, they were very curious, and tried to take a bite out of everything in sight (including me).

The older ones just kind of observed.

Except this one, who kept trying to eat my camera strap.

Some goat babies were nursing their mamas.

Others had to be fed using baby bottles, since there had been so many of them in the litter.

The goats were so cute and cuddly.

Ans they also had a donkey friend.

All the goats—and there were a lot of them—seemed very happy. They also managed to somehow untie all our shoe laces.

After the goats were all fed and happy, we went to visit the chickens.

There were a lot of them too.

Inside the barn, under a heat lamp, were some really cute baby chicks, soon to join their friends outside. They just have to get a bit bigger and more tolerant of the cold first.

This was, without a doubt, the best little farm stand in Callicoon, NY.

It’s crazy to think this may all be gone if they allow hydrofracking in Upstate New York. Say NO to fracking!

Having a great time in L.A., hence the lack of posts. Sometimes you just have to unplug, right?

We’re staying at a farm in the sky, by a red house, high in the hills. The city lights below are so close, yet seem far away. There are tiny chickens under a heat lamp in the bathroom and gorgeous flowers outside. Life is good.

Bought these pretty green(!) eggs at the farm we went to this weekend. (There’s one white one in the pic for comparison.) They are naturally green and come from the Araucana chicken. Farm fresh eggs are just so much tastier than the ones from the store.

One of the best things to do when you live in a big city like New York is to go visit a farm for a day, just to get away from it all. This past Saturday, we visited one called Glynwood, located outside the town of Cold Spring in Upstate New York. They were shearing sheep for the summer, so we got to watch that (kind of funny to see the “naked” sheep grazing afterward) and sit amongst newly sheared wool, that still smelled like sheep. On the farm they also have hens, pigs (the cutest little piglets ever!), horses, goats and bees. All the food is grown organically and distributed to a 60-member CSA. The weather was summery and warm and we lay in the grass, watching the clouds and listening to the peaceful silence. The big city felt very far away at that moment.

Dagens: linne i ekobomull från H&M, jeansshorts från Imitation of Christ, snäckskalshalsband köpt i Key West, piloter från H&M, mockasiner från Minnetonka.

Spent all day yesterday at the wonderful farm Glynwood outside Cold Spring in Upstate New York. The weather was incredible and I am feeling a tad bit sunburned (very much needed for my poor pale winter legs).

Today: organic cotton tank from H&M, denim shorts from Imitation of Christ, seashell necklace bought in Key West, pilots from H&M, moccasins from Minnetonka.
