On our little farm we have a few dairy goats and some laying hens. The children play a large role in caring for these animals. The children help feed and milk the goats and they have been able to see a direct correlation between the amount and quality of the feed to the amount of milk the goats produce. And they are able to see the same with the chickens.
When I was young, I thought food came from the store and I did not understand the value of working. I am so very grateful for this opportunity that the children have to learn how things work and to be able to appreciate and partake of the benefits of their labours.
