Author’s Note
When kids come to our farm they’re usually amazed, excited, and disgusted all at once. It’s not uncommon for every emotion from happiness to horror to show up during one farm tour, and I can always count on kids to tell me exactly how farming looks from the outside. It may sound a bit overwhelming, but it’s why talking to kids and their families about food and farming is one of my favourite parts of being a farmer. Over the years, we’ve had lots of kids visit our farm and while none of them were Patrick, many of them inspired this story of him and his crazy breakfast adventures.
Wishing you happy food and farm adventures,
Diana
