Um, I’ve seen three generations grandmas, mothers and daughters, fathers, sons, everybody. It’s so much fun. Really quickly. It’s important that we’re here doing it at Centennial Farm
Because one of the things that you teach people is that you want really great ingredients, organic, local ingredients, some of it coming from the farm right here. And what’s so amazing about Centennial Farm? We have free tours for all the kids. We have kids coming from all over the county, the schools. They
Get to learn where their food comes from, how they prepare it. They see livestock. They just really love it. It’s an experience I’ve had students tell me in high school, even in college, they remember coming here when they were little, how enthusiastic you are. And really quickly, what’s the next class
