I've been reading a lot lately about how important it is for kids, especially kids with AD/HD, to connect with the earth. I support that belief wholeheartedly anyway and spend a lot of energy trying to make sure my child spends plenty of time outside, appreciates the environment, and knows where his food comes from. Our trip to the farm today really drove the point home, however. We got to pick sugar snap peas today, and Duncan couldn't have been happier to be out there among the vines, carrying his quart container, and filling it with beans. He giggled and laughed and ate quite a few raw. Whatever amount of money I spent on this CSA membership was worth it just for the experience of frolicking in the peas.
