What do we do all winter …
While part of us attend different conferences, Grandma is home cooking. She says she will have a list of new treats soon.
Winter Conferences
A popular question this time of year … “what do you do all winter?” Answer … we go to school (sort of). We go to alot of conferences. Meet alot of people who do agri-tourism .. ie pumpkin patches and more. We learn how to make school tours better and arrange to make more “Fun on the Farm”! We are lucky to have good teachers.
