the French Farm

This is the French Farm - a farm owned and established by...wait for it...a French guy. He raises all sorts of fowl and pigs and produce for hotels and ex-pats in the Gurgaon area. We had heard about him long ago but never tried to find out more. When I wanted a turkey for Thanksgiving, tho, we decided to check it out. Randy and I and Christelle and her kids went out there, to the sticks. Our kids didn't want to come, but they should have, it was fun! He had chicks that he let the kids hold, and baby pigs, and HUGE pigs too. It's all free-range and organic, and they went to some trouble to explain how they feed and clean up and all that. The only thing I care about organic is that is costs more!









Looking in at all the critters.







He has geese, turkeys, chickens, Japanese quail, ducks. Turkeys are UGLY! we didn't really pick the one we wanted, we just told him how big of a turkey we wanted. Most of the biggest ones were spoken for already, so we ordered 2 that were about 4 kg each. Total cost, 3400 rupees, about $75 USD. ouch. But hey, it's organic right?

Such determination! I took the cheater way out and just asked for four roast chickens. The farm looks fun though and after Delhi in the winter, a farm would smell heavenly.
