Morgan Moments

Morgan Moments

One of the greatest joys is seeing local goodness through the eyes of a child. Not only is visiting a local farm, farmers' market or roadside stand an adventure in itself, but an almost magical transformation happens when children get in touch with where their food actually comes from.

My son, Morgan, has always been a somewhat adventurous eater, but like any child, fresh fruits and veggies are not necessarily the first food he requests. Every chance he gets, however, Morgan joins me on my "field trips" to local farms and farmers' markets and it gives me incredible pleasure watching him dig carrots out of the dirt, eat green beans right in the field as he picks them off the plant, and witness the dedication and hard work farming takes. Farm-fresh veggies still may not be the first thing he asks for, but he certainly delights in eating them when served...especially if he had a hand in picking them (whether on the farm or at a market).

This is Morgan's page...observations, pictures and the world of Local Goodness through his eyes and his words...we'll be adding items as he wishes, but see the video clips below for now!
