What a beautiful article! Thank you for taking the time to come out, and thank you for loving food enough to educate the masses of it’s origins! It was an absolute pleasure to have you in our pasture and at our dinner table. Lord willing the next time will be at a dinner table in our pasture! You’re always welcome!

Chris – I definitely hope to post updates about where Nature’s Green Acres products are being served.

Michelle – indeed, I am a “city folk”. I know visiting a farm is also very different from actually working on a farm, but every little bit of exposure helps!

Sebastian – thanks for letting me tag along!

Great topic, Sharon! I grew up on a farm two hours east of Edmonton that is still run by my Dad and Grandpa (ages 64 and 88, respectively), so I tend to forget that most “city folk” don’t really understand where their food comes from. It’s exciting to see growing interest in the sources of fresh produce, grains and meats!

Thanks for the letting us in on your tour Sharon. Look forward to hearing more about this family and their quests.
