As mothers and farmers, our kids' safety is absolutely our number one priority. We also understand it is vitally important it is to protect children from being exploited. But we also feel strongly about the values and work ethic that farm kids develop. Our kids learn things like how to provide care and respect for animals, how to grow crops to feed the growing world population, and how to be good stewards of the environment to protect our planet for future generations. We do all of these things together, as families, while teaching safety, responsibility and character.
We encourage you to ask a farmer about what life is like for children on their farm. Our volunteers are always open to answer your questions, or we encourage you to seek out a farmer in your area. Plus, see what Alisa, a self-proclaimed city gal, has to say about the issue.
