Underwood Family Farm

Last weekend was my Saturday off for the month so I decided we should take advantage of the day and head out to the Underwood Family Farm in Moorpark. I have been wanting to take Katie there for awhile and now I am sure we will go back.

One of the first things we saw once we went in was the goat pens. Grandma got Katie some feed so she could feed the goats.

Uncle helped her reach the feed chutes. The goat was more than willing to eat it.

There were a lot of animals to look at. This pen had pigeons, a peacock and I am sure some others birds.

Katie was fascinated by the turkey. He kept puffing up his feathers and strutting around.

The mini mules were cute and the white one had devised a method to get food. It would loudly kick the pipe when people walked near it and keep kicking till he got some food.

There were alpacas.

These are some Scottish Highland Cows, crazy looking ones for sure.

Next Katie and I climbed the hay bales.

Then we came back down. Katie discovered she could sit on each bale, slide forward then get to the next one. She was very proud of herself.

There were several tunnels. At first she was hesitant so I went through with her. Lets just say that was the only tunnel mommy went through, they are more Katie's size than mommy's. 

They also have a large wood train that Katie really liked.

We also saw chicken and baby chicks.

And of course we had to go back to the train.

Finally we headed out to the crops. The first thing we stopped for was beets, one of Katie's favorite vegetables. 

We got red beets, golden beets and candy cane beets. Katie liked to pull them out of the ground and yell "beets!"

The strawberry fields were at the back so Katie hitched a ride on the wagon. As Uncle pulled her away she kept yelling "bye bye mommy" and waving.

Eventually we arrived at the strawberries. I tried to stress to Katie to get the red ones, however once I let her eat one she was done. She would come and ask me for a strawberry then run proudly to Grandma telling her she found one and eat it. Katie would proceed to repeat the process, completely giving up on filling out container with strawberries to take home.

She was very happy in the strawberry fields. This is her smiling while eating a strawberry, notice the strawberry all over her cheeks. 

On the way back she decided to run, she ran for quite awhile.

One of the great things about this place is it has a lot of space and is very kid friendly. The have grass areas to have picnics and their produce in the fields is very reasonable priced.
