How do your two boys go on the farm?

A “Our little one hops into the farm and grabs anything green and eats it. The kids tend to eat veggies out in the farm but when you bring them inside and cook them up they aren’t interested!’

C: ‘Its very cool to see, they point out oh that’s kale, just the identification. Even for me we grew eggplants this season and was amazed at how pretty the flowers were. Its important for them to know where food comes from.’

A: ‘Potatoes are a good one, they dig them up and they’re like woah!’

C: ‘The kids just love it!’

“Its important that our children know where their food comes from.”

“Farming sure is hard work, but it’s all worth it when you see the faces of those who get to enjoy the fruits of the hard work.”

What was the process to getting to organic farming?

C: ‘“It was a pretty long process; it was a change in lifestyle too. We started eating and exercising more years ago.”
