Essential parenting advice and practical strategies for engaging kids in farm life-to create opportunities for play and learning, to foster resilience and independence, and to keep kids busy while you're running your farm or backyard homestead.
In this first-ever book on the topic, author Katie Kulla offers her own hard-won wisdom, gleaned from more than a decade of raising kids while running a CSA farm with her husband. The book also features invaluable advice and insights from other farmer-parents and a wealth of practical tips and ideas for how to engage children on the farm-including activities for learning and play, and suggestions for how to enlist kids in chores and other farm responsibilities. Included are profiles of diverse farm families across a spectrum of racial and gender identities, to represent the real face of farming today.
