Riverton Farm


 We met this family hitchhiking and they invited us over for a weekend. We stayed with them and helped them put up a chicken coop and played with their kids and animals. I loved them and their beautiful 10-acre Riverton farm so much we came back a month later after our Stewart Island trek.

Split!


I learned how to do it too! It's fun!



The family with their new pony is so picturesque I couldn't help but take tons of photos






 





Willow trying on my hiking boots



What a cutie!
 


Now I can milk a goat! 



I loved all the animals

We helped Jesse put up his new ceiling after he stuffed it with cotton candy! I mean insulation.


Here's the after picture! Oh yeah.

  2. thanks for sharing amber, its nice to see because it's hard to imagine what you are doing from afar. What a great farm, different lifestyle than west los angeles where i grew up. Cute kids with animal photos! Besides learning about organic farming, goat milking and child rearing, you are becoming a construction trades person too! It's all good Amber, keep it up and keep sharing with us, your fans, family and loved ones from ADA
