Prehistoric women were gatherers. It didn't take long for the women to realize that they could gather better stuff to eat if they planted it themselves instead of walking around looking for it.<BR/>So, as Farmer Frank says, "Let's give a cheer for women!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-83462447238298281692008-04-23T16:14:00.000-04:002008-04-23T16:14:00.000-04:00Fiona, thank you for the tip.

There is either a colossal gap in my K-12 education or Farmer Frank has had one too many pulls from his Kentucky shine supply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-54136341090865974742008-04-23T11:52:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:52:00.000-04:00Oh but Dave, your kids need to go to Sunrock Farm!...Oh but Dave, your kids need to go to Sunrock Farm! They'll get to milk the cows or goats, gather eggs, hold a chick, bottle feed lambs. And learn from Farmer Frank about how we owe it all to women who started farming. They have school tours and family tours. It's out by NKU. It's a total blast; definitely worth the trip. <BR/>www.sunrock.farmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-66641786442411915692008-04-22T21:16:00.000-04:002008-04-22T21:16:00.000-04:00I remember the field trip to the farm sitting in m...I remember the field trip to the farm sitting in makeshift bleachers in the barn as the farmer milked his cow.

I agree that it has something to do with the behind-the-scenes aspect, like we are being let-in on a secret.CityKinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068481950069401281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-48426958057324776732008-04-22T15:20:00.000-04:002008-04-22T15:20:00.000-04:00When I was a kid, I remember my mom taking us to t...When I was a kid, I remember my mom taking us to the great deli so we could watch bagels being made. Now Bruegger's has the window and somehow, the magic is gone.
