Spring is here and so are my annual visits to garden centers and nurseries. Maybe its because, just a few generations back, practically all my ancestors were farmers, that this time of year inspires that need to plant and get back to my roots. Regardless, it is always a joy to go out to the garden centers and see all those possibilities for my garden. But what about local farms? If you do a little searching on the internet via the Department of Agriculture for your particular state you can find local farms and events that allow access to the wonderful world of farming. Many are free and all offer the promise of a very interesting adventure for you and your family. So check it out and remember to pack plenty of water and disinfectant wipes or spray.
