I really have no idea how I ran across the blog “The Farmer’s Daughter USA,” but I have to say that I love, love, love Amanda. Here’s why:
Like me, she comes from a farming family. (I’d last about five minutes actually working on a farm, but that’s all by the by. And, as my son points out, my dad left the farm as soon as he could. Still! I treasure the memories of family vacations to southwest Minnesota where there were two big silos on my Uncle Abe’s farm saying “Baerg Dairy” and where I fed chickens and let calves lick my fingers.)
She is a voice of true sanity in our world of food fads.
She’s survived cancer with courage and grace.
Okay. Here’s an old post she sent out recently and which I’d recommend you read (it’s very short). Have you ever felt guilty as you pass by the rather sad-looking fruits and vegetables labeled “organic” in the produce section and thought, ‘Maybe I should buy these, but they’re so expensive and they look so sad’? Well, now you don’t have to!
