The Great American Farm Tour Minnesota Meetup

The Great American Farm Tour Minnesota Meetup

 

Twas the day of the farm tour and all through the house,
Every creature was stirring, yes, even the mouse.
The children were loaded in the van with great care,
In the hopes that the Rhodes Family soon would be there;
The children practiced what they would say in their seats,
While they snacked on organic, non-GMO treats…

We had a lot of fun at the Great American Farm Tour Minnesota Meetup.  The park was packed with kids and the lawns were packed with like minded small farmers.  It was a lot of fun meeting new friends and sharing our farm stories.

If you haven’t heard of The Great American Farm Tour, you should check it out!  It’s about small farmers using permaculture methods to grow food and raise animals.  My Dad recommended the Rhodes family to me last year and I’ve been hooked, watching almost all of their YouTube episodes.

All of us were excited to meet and talk to Justin and Rebekah.  Rebekah was even sweeter and more beautiful in person.  They were kind enough to take the time to talk to each and every person.  I can only imagine how tired they must be after traveling across the country, but they were kind, patient and respectful to everyone.

My Dad and Cat were the most excited to meet the Rhodes.  I think it might be the highlight of the year for both of them.  Cat was especially thrilled that Justin asked her to play her ukelele.

Waiting for the Rhodes to release their video of the day, all of my family had the farm tour youtube tab open and kept hitting refresh all day.  lol  You’ll have to check us out in the video below.  If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, you can skip to 7:42 to see us!

What farmers are you fans of?  Do you have a favorite YouTube channel or a channel of your own?  I’d love to hear about it!

Happy Farm Tour to all, and to all a good-night!
