They have no idea.....

Today we had visitors that asked our daughter what we did w/ the eggs after we got them out of the chicken coop. "Do you wax them or something?" she was asked. NO!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't wax them!!
I keep saying you need to bring your families and children to the farm. Any farm! TEACH THEM WHERE FOOD COMES FROM!!! THEY HAVE NO IDEA!!!!! You may think or assume that they do but they don't! Even adults that visit have no idea! "You're going to eat that?!" they ask. "Heck ya, we're gonna eat that! We're going to eat that over there too!" We try to explain to them that we like to know where our food comes from. We like to know where it lived and how it was treated. We like to know what it ate and what hormones it wasn't shot full of. The meat we eat does not come from a grocery store where they seem to think it magically appears. It is not shot full of red dye so it "looks good".
Please, I'm begging you, meet a farmer. Talk to him. Spend some time with him and learn to appreciate what he does. LEARN something!!! Bring your kids. Make believe it's them that you're teaching if you have to.

10 Year Old Tour Guide

When you visit our farm you will be greeted by our 10 year old at some point. You will instantly take to her, and her to you. She is our tour guide. She is a natural. She chats away while leading you all around the barn. She is outside doing just that right now and it is so cute! She tells interesting facts and answers questions about every animal in sight. She knows birth dates, names and all about any calves, kids or bunnies that have been born. You'll get to pet the animals, brush them or maybe even help give her calf a bath. It all depends on what she has in store for you. If you are little, she will find something little and gentle for you to visit. If you look ambitious or outgoing, she may offer to let you lead something a bit more frisky around. Come see for yourself. You will be amazed and entertained.
