In October, America celebrates the harvest, specifically initiatives to put healthy, locally grown food on our children’s plates at school. And it all starts with America’s farmers and ranchers.
Many of us who raise our own food, whether in a pot or a small garden, do so as a hobby. If there’s too much heat, not enough rain or too many pests, we are disappointed and frustrated, but the love of growing fresh, nutritious foods pulls us through tough times.
