At the Market today, directly from a 46 acre farm [in Covington], Gradwohl’s Happy Mountain Farm has several grass-fed miniature cows with them and is offering mini cow tours. See up close and personal these amazing animals and learn more about Gradwohl’s Farm.
You can pet them! According to the Pike Place Market, the tour is inside the trailer because “the city has rules against livestock on the streets, imagine that.”
Awesome, I’m heading there right now. I’m going to wear my “FUCK SARAH PALIN. AND FUCK RURAL AMERICA” t-shirt. Thanks Gillian!
Umm… is anyone actually coming back OUT of the trailer or is this some kind of round-up wagon for the wonderful people at Soylent Green?
Mini-cows are awesome… I wish I wasn’t in the process of moving (ironically to take over my family’s farm in east King County) because I would LOVE to meet them and learn more about raising them! I would so love to have someone day… Mini-cows and mini-goats 😀

I’m almost out the door. i had to find my sunscreen. But yeah, don’t worry about Soylent Green stuff. It’s going to be a fun time. Just make sure people notice you as a reader of The Stranger. Wear a t-shirt like mine. something written on it like “FARMERS ARE STUPID. SMART PEOPLE WORK IN THE MEDIA OR ON WALL STREET” (perhaps a little subtler than that)
“the city has rules against livestock on the streets,” let we allow horses to roam around going the wrong way up one way streets and poop wherever they please without collecting the droppings.
I’m looking at you, SPD mounted unit.
Well, they’re not mini-horses, but I guess they’ll do.
Do mini cows taste like veal?
Let me guess. This is where small glasses of milk come from?
You will notice that the sign says Mini Cattle, not Mini Cows. I was all revved up to see a darling photo of a darling cow, all black and white. But no.
Cattle and cows aren’t the same thing.
Mini cattle are adorable, though. Also mini-goats. But a friend of mine who specializes in darling mini-sized farm stock warned me that pygmy goats are a big pain in the ass. He advised me to look into fainting goats if I wanted a nice kind of goat, suitable as a goaty-pet.
Hmph. Cattle are NOT COWS. If you are sensitive you won’t like knowing that cattle become hamburgers etc. They don’t give us milk.
Aw, grass-fed, how delightful. What do they murder them with?
those pigs I see around town are false advertising then
@10 – Mini knives
is this where sliders come from?
@12- “Mini-knives.” HA!
