Kids really do learn what they live. Children who grow up learning about and interacting with the plants and animals that feed them are so lucky!

When I was growing up, I just ate what was presented to me, and much of it came out of my grandma’s garden. We didn’t have any other choices. My children were raised with the same foods. I’ve always been amazed when parents say their children wouldn’t eat this or that, or kids snub their nose at anything that grew from the ground. They’re missing out on so much, because what I consider good, real, delicious food is so foreign to them.

I’ve always been amused by the way kids turn work into play. But if you love what you do, it can sometimes be play for adults too.
