The goats’ favorite day of the year! Sunflower Farm Creamery #Video

Today after yoga we took down the fence protecting the sunflowers, and after months of watching them grow the goats finally got to eat them!

What if we saw life as a feast meant to be savored?

Goats feast daily on the best Hay gathered and stored just for them and choice treats they find along the way: a maple leaf, the perfect twig of Evergreen, on sunshine warm on their back and cold clean water as if it is the tastiest creation on earth. They feast on the warm attention of others. A hand on their back, a lap to lay their head, fingers offering a chin scratch. They feast on the scents of sunflowers bowing their heads in the fall, the sound of the stream running swift behind the barn, the comfort of each other. They hardly ever delay satisfaction, instead enjoying everything that life has to offer as it’s offered.

And at their invitation I promise myself I’ll do the same. To rush less, to stop long enough to see the glorious feast that always lays before us just waiting to be enjoyed.

We would never go to a wedding or party and leave the most delectable treats on our plate, yet each day we leave many of life’s delicious offerings on the table unappreciated.

Sit quiet for a moment, feast on the delicious details of your surroundings. Let them fill the spaces in you that are hungry for more!
