My roommate James spent the two weeks before arriving in Lyon on an organic goat farm about two hours to the southeast of us. He raved so much about his time there that we all managed to get ourselves invited this vacation when he went back to visit. I have only a bit of time here, but in the four days we had there, I herded goats, picked apples, helped feed animals, harvested potatoes, made fresh pasta, attended a wild hippie jazz soirée in a barn, and ate lots of extremely local and delicious food. Here are some photos, and hopefully a more thorough update to follow. Until then, I am off to Florence for the rest of break!
PS. So if you haven't yet had the pleasure of hearing about or experiencing this global phenomenon, WOOFing is working on an organic farm. Check out the details on wwoof.org.
