Miller Farms

Yesterday we took a long long ride to a faraway place where the dogs roam free and the corn pops up in rows! Seriously though, I don't think this place is even on the map. It's a little known farm appropriately called, Miller Farms. You pay a $10 admittance fee and leave with more fresh produce that your local grocery store can carry. The kids had so much fun getting their hands dirty picking corn, potatoes, carrots, onions, squash, and of course pumpkins! At first they were a little disappointed how dirty the food was when it came out of the ground! It was a great opportunity to teach them the process our food goes through before it makes it to the shelf in the grocery store, NOT! I just got a good laugh and made fun of them a little!
