DealDash Visits the Farm
Visiting your local farm in October can be a lot of fun. There are usually many fun family activities.
Family activities at your local farm can range from picking apples, hay bale mazes, face-painting, apple cider donuts, and so much more. It’s also very appropriate to visit your local farm in October, because October is National Farm to School Month.
Farm to School Month is a great opportunity for kids to find out where out food really comes from. If you aren’t familiar with Farm to School the basic idea is that through cooperation with the school system and local farm students gain access to healthy, local foods as well as education opportunities such as school gardens, cooking lessons and farm field trips. Farm to school teaches children and their families about the outdoors, how food is grown, and provides them with hands-on activities that can take place at their school or during school field trips. A little over 40% of public schools in the US take part in Farm to School Month, which is great, because the kids love it!
If you don’t have a child in school, or your child’s school doesn’t participate, then you should try to make time to visit your local farm. It’s a lot of fun for the children, and it’s a wonderful way to get them excited about fruits, vegetables, and eating healthy. Sadly, in America one out of every three kids is overweight or obese, and at-risk for Type 2 Diabetes. It would be a great benefit for them to learn healthy eating habits while they are still young, and it will save them a lot of trouble when they are older.
Visiting your local farm is a fun family activity that can have some positive benefits for your child, and even for you, too! As the temperature gets colder, though, you might want to stay warm and toasty inside. Give the kids a fun activity to do, such as drawing pictures of your farm adventure, and you can browse DealDash! DealDash is always there for you, 24/7.
