We had a wonderful time at Two Creek Farm on Saturday. Rodney and Jan Kimmons have a marvelous place.
We took the tour, riding in comfort on a multi-passenger golf cart past playgrounds and picnic areas, and fields full of vegetables-in-progress. Along the way, we stopped to let the little kids feed the ducks.
As we approached the pond, the catfish felt us coming, and the water began to churn. When we parked and Rodney threw fish food in the water, they went nuts!
I’ve seen Koi act like that, but never three to ten pound catfish. Rodney says they will do that every time a tour stops, whether it’s just once or as many as four times in a day.
Back up at the front of the place, they have a Texas Longhorn, but those aren’t the BIGGEST horns on the place. In the same pen, in the shade behind the shed we saw -
That’s an Ankole-Watusi (African Longhorn) and while its spread may not be quite as wide, those horns probably weigh at least five times as much.
They also have a couple of Bison, some donkeys, miniature horses, doves, rabbits, goats, etc., but the big draw for us was the farm-fresh vegetables.
If the only tomatoes you’ve ever eaten were from the supermarket, you don’t know what you are missing. Try one fresh off the vine sometime – the difference is amazing.
