Harvesting

September 23, 2009 by admin 

My first harvesting experience I can remember was getting permission from the librarian to climb the huge apple tree in front of the library to collect apples for pies, applesauce and juice.

Fall is the perfect time to do this with all of the city fall harvest and festivals, farms and barnyards opening their doors to customers, farmer’s markets, etc. It is always important to take the time to teach and explain to your children the source of their food.

Here are some great resources:

Kids Farm is a website following the Harvesting on a farm in Colorado. Your kids can click on different produce to see where it comes from!

Local Harvest is a great place to point you in the right direction
