The Farm Report

Farmer’s Market

I agreed to man the kids’ booth at the Farmer’s Market today. I created a scavenger hunt for the kids to do around the market—so very fun to see them scurrying about with their clipboards, intent on finding the next thing.

I also let kids roll their own oats from oat groats. I confess, I didn’t know what a groat was until my thirties. I hope we can raise a generation of children who are a bit more aware of where their food comes from. The kids got to take home their oats, and I suspect there were a whole lot of cookies baked this afternoon.

    I’m 39 and I didn’t know what a groat was, until now.

    I’m ? and just learned what a groat is – and I’m not saying how old, but it’s older than Glass : )
