Say hello to my furry farm friends

I'm a 28-year vegetarian and based on the pictures I share on social media, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I love animals. I can't help myself when I see a dog, cat or farm animal - I just have to say hello. Truth be told, I've been known to have great conversations with my furry friends (#noshame). I even rescue spiders and ants from our house so that no creature is ever harmed.

While there was a lot to do around the Jehovah Raah Farm during my birthday trip, I couldn't wait for the moment when I could be with the animals.

Located in Candler, North Carolina, Julie (the owner) uses the fiber from the animals to spin into yarn. On the farm you will find Alpacas, (Suri and Hucaya), Angora Goats, Angora Rabbits, Shetland Sheep, Scottish Highland Cattle, Llamas, Honey Bees, Road Island Red Chickens and Black Spanish Turkeys - all freely grazing around their little piece of heaven. Julie even taught me how to spin fiber into a wall hanging on a large floor loom.

As you can imagine, my phone is filled with pictures of animals from the farm but here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!
