Moon-Randolph Homestead 2012

The Moon-Randolph Homestead was an early settlement in Missoula.  It still has active staff, chickens, and a small farming plot.  You can learn more on their blog at http://mrhomestead.com/. We got to tour a couple old buildings, walk around the grounds, see the chickens, and also shake plum trees and take fresh plums home.  It was a popular tour!

 

 

Look at all the plums I got!

Then I made a plum skillet cake!
