A little further down the road, we found the mint marshmallows. They were a lovely shade of minty green and we began to wonder why no one makes a mint flavored marshmallow.
They would be great in hot chocolate and even in s'mores.

Marshmallow Farming
These are not two words you often see together but since we moved to this area, we've been intrigued by how the farmers protect their bales of hay. You have to admit these bales really do look like marshmallows.
A little further down the road, we found the mint marshmallows. They were a lovely shade of minty green and we began to wonder why no one makes a mint flavored marshmallow.

Then just as we were going home we found the lucky ones that will be getting these marshmallows .

Those do look like giant marshmallows. Those cows are lucky. I hope they serve the marshmallows with peanut butter...lol
ReplyDeleteI tried some cherry and chocolate ones this summer.Think I'll stick to the regular ones.Like how you viewed these, around here they put them in a long tube.I would like a more biodegradable product used.Great pics and post.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of these hay covers as marshmallows but now each time I see them I will think of marshmallows,haha !!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.Going to check out your store.
Have a blessed tomorrow.
Enormous marshmallows! (lol) Never seen one like these in any farm in the Philippines. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they really do! Imagine the size of hot chocolate you would need to put them in though :) When you mentioned the mint ones my mind went off on a tangent too!
ReplyDeleteLove the last photo, very peaceful looking.
I always thought plastic covered hay looked like giant rolls of toilet paper. Tremendously ugly, and a very poor environmental practice. These giant sheets of plastic are often blown in to woodlots at the edges of field and neglectfully remain for years. There are new clear mesh covers that let the hay breath and don't have such a "plastic" appearance.
ReplyDeleteOurs are usually wrapped in black plastic - some sort of liquorice, maybe? (But quite often they're not wrapped at all!)
ReplyDeleteOh YES!!!! You need to "invent" those mint marshmallows!!! I cannot believe what a good idea that is!
ReplyDeleteLet me know when they're out:)
Love the photos:))
Marshmallow ;-) Do you have green ones ? ;-) Good idea to call this like that ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe have the same here. Some are not protected but just rolled up. I don't think rectangle bales are even done anymore. And using a pitchfork to pitch hay in a hay mow is a thing of the past. Almost lick picking and shucking corn. Now it is mostly silage.
