A TRIP TO THE FARM

Brings out the nostaglia in all of us. Fresh produce, fields, old farm equipment.
We are reminded of the work that goes into bringing food to the table. Many places now
have agritours- agricultural adventures- to spend time on a farm learning and working along side the owners.. In Adolph's hometown- Cassino, Italy- they have such vacations. However, if I go there again, I would spend time in a hotel.

Old equipment make interesting garden ornaments. Not everything makes its way to a museum! In my youth I wanted to live in the country. The closest thing I have now is an overgrown suburbian garden. So visits to the country keeps the feeling alive in me.

Do you like the old wagon? Should be hitched to a horse to go for a ride!

Many movies from the depression era always show people trying to find work for food. Ride the rails and get off at a farm to eat and sleep in the barn. Now we can go and pick our own fruit. There are several strawberry and raspberry farms for picking. The tomatoes are almost ready for the Southern Europeans to pick many bushels to make their own passata. In the Fall the apple orchards have such fun outings. Do you like to pick your own fruit? Does going to the farm bring out the country in you? Or do you prefer a city market without the work?
