You're r...Hi, Heather! Good to hear from you. <br /><br />You're right: There's a growing disconnect between city and rural life. Farmers telling our stories helps, but having moms like you who are intentional about teaching your kids about life outside the grocery store goes a long way too. We are grateful!

There's more to it than I probably could have imagined, and the degree is still "in process"...JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722923859394310454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924256360174115907.post-82064956166977885372016-11-10T07:48:14.644-06:002016-11-10T07:48:14.644-06:00I saw this on Facebook too.

The election results really surprised me, and it was very telling how strongly the "rural vote" showed up yesterday. And it got me thinking about how here in the city, we are more sheltered and oblivious to farm life, rural life, and the grass roots than we ever have been. So different than it was for our grandparents were way back when. <br /><br />With all the social media, the cities voting blue, and Silicon Valley social media lifestyles...it's troubling. This has been a good reminder to me to teach my kids that out milk doesn't just come from Kroger, bacon doesn't start out looking like stripes in a plastic package, and that we shouldn't just vote to suit the lives of {what we think is} the majority in the "big city." There's so much more to the machinery of the United States than just what we see on the surface. As a city girl, I admit we forget that. <br /><br />I don't want my kids to be ignorant, and Taran's comment was VERY much just that.
