Now a days everything we could possibly imagine is at our fingertips and we are constantly connected to everything around us, but something seems to be missing.
It seems like I don't even have to go off the farm to get everything I need. I don't even have to speak to people anymore with email, texting and social media. We may think that we are connected with people around us, but we couldn't be more disconnected.
We are missing something, and it's not that hard to do. Go out and 'smell the roses.' Put your phones down, get out and see the world around you. We are so disconnected from agriculture now that we forget the labor, time and care that gets put into it every single second of every day. Our products, whether it be produce, dairy products, or anything in agriculture is really a labor of love.
I encourage you to visit a local farm. See what they are actually doing and learn for yourselves what it takes to make the food that you eat.
