And just going to a farmer's market is a way for city kids to begin to understand their relationship to the land. They're hungry for good food. They are hungry for people to pay attention to them. They need to be taken care of and appreciated, but too often they're neglected. As soon as you give them a little attention, their response is incredible.
Positive reinforcement is so essential to their lives.
So many of us are so busy, we don't give them this. Definitely my trip to France when I was nineteen. I went to farmer's markets for the first time. I was there in 1963, which was a great time for French food, because you could still get so much wonderful produce directly from the people who grew it. To learn how to farm is a great path.
