Critters-N-Crops "Planting Seeds with Children to Watch Them Grow"

Getting ready to file for our 501(c)(3) status, aka "Non-profit" status. Hopefully this will open us up to receiving sponsorships for children to experience "Critters-N-Crops." Our ultimate goal is to have a farm where children can come and experience first hand "life on a farm."  Children will rise and shine with the sun and fix an ole fashin country breakfast and that's after the cows and/or goats are milked. There will be time spent in the garden, in the kitchen, and in the barn. Children will learn that milk comes from cows and with milk we make Cheese, Yogurt, and Ice Cream. They will take knowledge with them of eggs coming from chickens, turkeys, and ducks and all the delicious meals we can cook up with eggs! A steer becomes hamburger & steaks and pigs become bacon. Children will learn agriculture from the ground where the alfalfa is planted to feed the livestock to the table where they will consume steaks and home grown tomatoes. So much to share!
