Just as we did last year, today we visited those who grow the food we eat. We're part of a CSA (community supported agriculture) and once a year they invite all the members to join them to tour the farm, eat some veggies and pie, and hang out. The kids love it and today was no exception. They got to play on the hay bails, ride in a buggy cart pulled by ponies, and ride a pony as well.
They had all kinds of peppers.
Surprisingly, Devon actually took a few bites of a Jalapeño!
I was eating while picking. So good!
It's all organic. All natural.
One of these horses was huge!
Edit: I forgot to add this to the original post, but I took a quick video of my daughter Aria riding a pony as well. :)
Action shot with Devon jumping!
I wish I could describe just how juciy the raddishes and turnips were as part of the lunch we had. It almost seemed like a fruit! Fresh food is the best food. They had been harvested about an hour before we ate them.
This year it was COLD, but we still had a great time. I hope you're enjoying the weekend with loved ones as well and you enjoy these pictures.
Haha, actually, we can sell these food in steemit, pay with sbd. This will become steem ecommerce platform.

Mad respect for the Amish. It's really awesome to be able to meet the people that sustain your life! I thought about doing the same for a quarter cow we would like to buy.
Great to introduce your kids as well

That is awesome, gotta eat the real deal food as much as possible. My parents live in an Amishy area in SW WI. I can't remember when I've had a turnip.

I just love to see posts like this. People need to get more involved with what they eat. Support local farmers and plant a garden if you have the room.
“Create a world we all want to live in.” That’s a great sentiment.

It takes work to find real deal food, but well worth the effort. It has become much easier to do so here in Utah over the last few years. Well done with the report. :)

Taking a trip back to the early settler times must be terrific, That is how food tasted before exhaust gas poluted the atmosphere. Problem is, how long would iit take to go to the boardwalk, mud streeted, town for shopping? How could the kids survive without phones and the web, how would we communicate without steemit?

Awesome stuff, Im in Georgia and we don't have many Amish here. But we have the next best thing Mennonites. We go to the U pick farms as much as we can, specially during Strawberry time.

Cheers Luke! I envy you and your country once more. Here nobody knows how their food is produced, and everybody hopes it is at least okay and in safe conditions, but on yourr side it seems really healthy. You are doing such a nice thing going with your kids too at the farm and in such interesting places, this helps them develop. I just wait for your next post. Have a nice day!

and that is amish area? Do they welcome visitors? and are they theirselves in sight than. May be silly questions, but here we do not have amish at all, and i really admire their lifestyle, i do not like the way they believe , but the way of living is outstanding. What a lovely day you must have had, and your food looks indeed very juicy. Nothing as nice as just harvest veges . :-) Made me think about my granddads tomatoes, not ever one tomato tasted like the ones from my granddad. Just ate them like apples, ohw man hmmmmmm
