"This past week we had another of our amazing classes of Waldorf and Charter school 3rd graders come to visit the farm as part of their food system curriculum. ...

"I think that because in this world there are so many people living in such close quarters and because we have a culture of connoisseurship and expertise sometimes we are trained not to interfere or interject when something is not our business. But this place breaks that mould and encourages everyone to dig in. ...
"We forget when we grow up that, as kids, work and play are often one and the same. Their senses were on overload (per usual I guess when you are nine years old) and their energy contagious.

"With the exception of spending time with Hallie, baby lambs and me, their favorite part of coming to the farm is most often the CSA line. This is a subtle but powerful concept to me. The fact that kids LOVE work is telling. We need to follow their example and be sure to make work for ourselves that we love and strive for a society where work never stops being our passion so that our future generations can cultivate a healthy sense of logic, work ethic and well-being as they grow into adults and our future leaders."
