We love to bring our whole family to the local farmer's market. That's what we did this morning. When the children were little I lead them to believe that the the only foods available were the most nutritious ones. If they were hungry they would simply eat what we gave them. The first foods were often sweet potatoes, asparagus, avocado, salmon, and brown rice. They grew up loving these foods. All of my kids eat their greens, a favorite food is Daddy's stir-fried kale with garlic.
We also enjoy raising some of our own food. Over the years we have enjoyed having goats for milk, hens and ducks for eggs, and lamb for meat. We now live on Main Street in a small town, but there is room in our backyard for a small flock of ducks (chickens are illegal) and a couple dairy goats. We also have a dozen fruit trees, and several berry bushes, grapevines, a veggie garden, and lots of herbs. My two oldest girls Anna & Estera love doing all the gardening, and much of the cooking- all that at age 9 and 10. Estera, my Aspie loves studying herbs, plants and herbal remedies, so gardening is a big part of the kid's education.
