When I was invited to go get some chickens in Temecula with Justin and Dior I did not expect pulling up to a beautiful barn house behind iron gates with a Porsche parked out front. Curious start.
We were greeted by a hot, blond lady. If it weren't for her casual attire and blue stained finger tips I'm not sure I would have guessed she was the one we were supposed to come see. (She looked more like the moms from Beverly Hills.)
She led us around the back of the house were she had yarn drying on the patio, dogs running around, sheep in pens, geese honking from somewhere and to a big horse barn. Inside the barn she kept her chickens, goats, turkeys and ewes with lambs.
It was amazing to see her chickens. They were HUGE! Some of her roosters were the size of a medium dog. I ended up getting a beautiful black orpington pullet from her, and I can't wait till she starts popping out eggs. I took a peek in a basket of eggs gathered in the barn and all those eggs were JUMBO sized!
I really wish I'd taken more pictures of the place. I was so stunned by everything around me I completely forgot I even had the camera in my pocket. I managed to snap some pics of the sheeps, goats, and chickens in the barn, but you can see more pictures on her website: http://www.namastefarms.com
