Why I'm Getting Dirty: I want my daughter to see where REAL food comes from. I am also very concerned with the chemicals going into our food and I want to avoid them as much as possible. More recently, I have been giving away extra plants to friends and people that want to provide homegrown veggies to their family but don't know where to start or cannot afford them.

Congratulations on Farmer of The Day. Food tastes so much better when you grow it yourself.

Congrats on being farmer of the day.

It does feel good to grow chemical free food doesn't it?

Have a great farmer of the day.
