Hello there, kids! 🌟
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my book—I’m so glad you did! Do you have any fun memories about visiting a farm? Do you have family or friends who grow food? Farms can be full of exciting adventures, like meeting animals, seeing crops grow, and even trying new foods.
Speaking of food, I’d love to know—what’s the best food from the book that you’ve tried? Was there one you didn’t like so much? (It’s okay, everyone has different tastes!) What new food are you excited to try most?
Did you know? By reading this book and learning about farms, you’re already helping small farmers right here in Florida—how amazing is that? 🎉 Farmers work hard to grow the food we eat, and your support means so much to them. It's very difficult to grow crops in a state that is very hot, humid, and doesnt have a freezing cold winter to help with bugs. Throw in a few hurricanes and the growing season can become very interesting!
As you go through school, I hope you’ll keep learning about agriculture and maybe even try growing something yourself! Imagine planting a seed and watching it grow into something delicious. How cool would that be?
Thank you for being awesome and for helping the farmers who make our state so special! 🌱🍓
