I’m so proud of our son, Brian. Every year, he invites a kindergarten class to the farm for a field trip. He figures out ahead of time what he wants to teach them and how the morning will go, and afterward seems so energized. He’s such a good daddy himself, and yesterday’s visitors are our future farmers, so thank you, Brian!

MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Awesome, Brian!! A special field trip indeed for any classroom at any age! What a cool way to connect kids with organic farming and the possibilities of farming as a future. How else will they come to know the beauty of a farm, the sweet smells of gardens and animals, and the beauty of green and trees everywhere. Who knows who might be forever inspired from such a trip and end up being a chef or organic grower, or Ag extension agent? Possibilities begin with outreach!
Well, Brian is just that kind of guy . . and daddy! He’s an awesome guy! I’d be proud to call him my son too! What a cool thing to do for kiddos!
Way to go, Brian! My grandgirls LOVE going to “the farm” & learn something new each time, too. They live in Indiana, primary farm lands!
I’m so glad to see kids getting a farm opportunity. We still tease my niece because when she was five, she insisted that milk came from Albertson’s and had nothing to do with cows. And she lived in a small town surrounded by farms!
