We stopped by Buffalo Creek earlier this week with my girls and a young friend of ours.  Robin greeted us, talked to us about the animals on the farm and and let us enjoy the view for a few minutes.  (This is a working farm;  not a petting farm.  According to their website, they do have plans in the future for small tours.)  Here's a quick clip from our visit to the farm.

While we were there, we bought honey produced by Tyson's Farm from Madison, NC and apple butter made by Mother Holtz Farm in Germanton.  We were surrounded by so much local yumminess it was really hard to stick to my budget and just buy those two items. Each girl was also given a page of lamb themed stickers.  They had a great time!
