It’s a great story. And fabulous for maths discussions. Maybe with children a bit older than kinders though.

Our local farmers can be quite grumpy. I’m not sure they would appreciate a hug from me! :)
Best wishes, Pete.

I used to hold my nose when forced to eat my veggies.
Then one day when company came I had to be polite. Have been polite ever since.
I love little roadside market stands on a road off the main highway under a big shady tree with checkered tablecloths on long tables full of freshly picked fruits and vegetables and free lemonade whether you purchase or not.
Well, I actually have never visited one exactly like that, but I do visit a big market every Wednesday at 10 AM. Need to get there before 9 because the line is long. :)

Without a doubt the most important function in society is that of the farmer. Without them, what would we eat!

That’s a terrific quote for what has become a lost art to a degree….one reason we support “farm to table” restaurants and businesses

Ah, I love the farmers market. Always have, always will. There were some new start-up farms at the market this past Saturday that I went to visit, which we’ve been working with. Sooo much fun, and delicious.
