Earlier this month, our family had the opportunity to visit the Hartman Reserve Nature Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for their annual Maple Syrup Festival. We were excited to get tickets for this annual event; the festival was a great blend of nature, education, and, of course, delicious food!
National Ag Day is a time to recognize and celebrate the vast world of agriculture. As a 5th generation farm family, we live and breathe agriculture every day, and I thought it would be fun to get my kids’ perspectives on what farm life means to them. So, I sat down and asked them questions about growing up on the farm. Their answers were simple, honest and a reminder of why we love this way of life.

Over the years, our family has enjoyed visiting time and time again, the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum in Waterloo, Iowa.
