Strawberry Picking

A delicious and environmental activity: strawberry picking! I love getting Annabelle involved in taking action on behalf of the earth. By visiting a local farm to pick our own fruit, our family is not only supporting local agriculture but we are also educating our daughter about where her food comes from. One of my greatest hopes for my children is that they will grow up to respect Mother Earth and work to take of her. I hate to admit that I did not have such an awareness about the environment until becoming a parent, even though I always loved being with nature and the outdoors.  Right now I can’t read enough about the environment, gardening, and now composting.  My mother says that farming is in our blood, so maybe it was just a matter of time for me . . .
