Some of our main concerns these days are making sure we give our kids the healthiest food possible – well we’ve found a way to do that.  In TR there are a few local produce markets that sell honey, breads, flowers, fruits and veges straight off the vine…you get my drift.  Take the kiddos along and teach them a thing or two about where their food comes from – ask the growers questions!  It will be fun for both of you.  Bring it all home and have them help chop it up for a healthy snack…with a little ranch dressing maybe.
