Creative Farming/ Ruby Tuesday

Trikes to keep little kids happy

Farmers here are looking for new ways to keep their businesses going. The owners of this farm grows vegetables, raises turkeys and goats, and also sells jellies and other preserves. As an added attraction, they purchased a few RUBY RED trikes for kids to play on while their parents shop.

Seeing red? Why not join in the Ruby Tuesday fun, by visiting MaryT at http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/

    We didn't have such nice tricycles when I was little...This farm seems to be treat, the little ones can ride a trike if they are bored, but with all the animals, kids of all ages can have fun looking and perhaps petting soft wool. Grown-ups too!

    The trikes imply lots of children. Bet they love the goats, too.

    What a great idea! And of course, the only color trikes should be is red.

    The trikes are nice. I would rather hug a goat. I like goats.

    LOLOLOL-I think the herd of trikes is really cute! I bet they eat a lot less than the goats! And are more fun to ride, also!

    that's quite interesting! Of course, kids need to get busy while parents are shopping.

    Well you know what they say, you have to spend money (on trikes) to make money and also make the customers happy, I just love farms. Thank you for coming by.

    It is nice of the farmers to treat the kids. I am sure the kids like ridding those red bikes.

    Somebody must have several children. I'm wondering where all these kids are, and what they are doing. Great choice Carletta.

    The kids will on the Monday after, I went to the farm and I rode trikes.

    Re: Cave, we didn't plan to go into the cave. We wanted to see the gannet birds. So we normally don't check the tides when we go..

    A crop of trikes. Interesting idea. actually nice of the people to think of the little ones while parents shop for veggies.

    I got my car fixed so tomorrow I am going to Arlington and see what is fishy. Arlington is the next small town south of here. MB

    I never realized they grew like that, I always pictured them as more of a tree fruit ;).

    The farm is where we get our veggies all summer. They also have a 10 acre corn maze. It is a CSA, Community Supported Agriculture Farm. You buy shares in the farms produce.

    Very interesting contrast in objects. I wouldn't expect to see so many red tricycles on a farm. Was there a tricycle convention?/adventure :)

    Splendid idea to think of the small customers as well.
    I know where I preferred to do my purchase when my daughter was a child. Where we all could relax because all felt welcomed.

    One of those trikes needs a seat. Or it is meant for really skinny stick kids.

    Jim,

    The owner said some of the kids are rough on the trikes. Sounds like kids are just like they've always been. But where were the parents?

    Like I always say, if at first you don't succeed, trike and trike again.
