Compared to a hundred years ago, most of us don’t know much about farming except that chickens lay eggs, cows make milk, and farmers grow food. That’s why it is beneficial for city children to participate in 4H or attend county fairs or state fairs.
Check your state fair for interactive educational activities that are family friendly.
Count it for school! Include it as a field trip for your “Early American” or “Westward Expansion” studies. If you are studying plants or animals, it counts for science.
Try growing some vegetables at home with your children. Raised bed vegetable gardens are small. I grow green onions in my window! Some herbs are easy to grow indoors. It’s a great life experience!
Gotta love homeschooling.
