“The farm will give younger kids an idea of where the apples they eat come from, where the eggs that Mom feeds them at home come from, before she buys them in the store. Having to dig for potatoes in the sand will make kids realize that it takes some effort to get to some foods,”
Connie Miller
“Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.”
William Jennings Bryan
“We are here to promote food from family farms. Changing the food you buy changes the way your food is grown.”
