the kinder visited the farm today

met farmers megan and amy

said hello to the animals

had a tractor ride

saw the community garden

walked into the pumpkin patch

said thank you to the land and the plants

for making and sharing the pumpkins with us

they’ll give back

by planting the seeds from a pumpkin

to make new pumpkins at school

 said thank you to the farmers

who taught us so much

who day in and day out

make all of the magic happen.
