ONE
Wine, sweet wine! Actually I'm a dry wine kinda girl, but "wine, sweet wine" rolls off the tongue a little easier. Anywho. Without vitaculture, which is the science, production and study of grapes wines aren't nearly as tasty! Wineries are becoming one of the largest and most visited Agri-Tourism locations here in Illinois. All you wine drinkers out there, remember to #thankafarmer!
TWO
Meat eater's unite. Having grown up on a farm that raised cattle to put food on our table, as well as others in our community, I know first hand the respect that farmers have for the animals they care for and raise. It's a luxury that I'm able to go to our freezer and pick out a package of steaks or a pound of hamburger and have no concerns about what we're eating for supper that night. Don't forget to #thankafarmer the next time you're standing at the meat counter or grabbing a quick burger at your local pub and grub!
THREE
If you're not aware of my obsession with all things 'fall', you can bring yourself up to speed with a few past posts (here, here, here). It's true! From harvest to bonfires and everything in between I'm a fan, pumpkins and gourds are some of may favorite ways to decorate our house! But someone is growing and tending all the mums, gourds and pumpkins that adorn my house each year... #thankafarmer
FOUR
Who remembers their first sip of beer? Where you a little kiddo sitting next to grandpa on the swing on a warm July day or maybe it was a stealthy swig at your first college house party? Mine was somewhere in between. I've wised up since college and prefer (and can easily afford) "good" beer. Matt and I both enjoy a good round of craft beer, but without barley, hops and wheat we'd be sunk. Beer drinkers, #thankafarmer before your next swig!
FIVE
From my head down to my legs, I love eggs! Just about anyway you can eat 'em... over-easy, hard-boiled, poached, I love 'em. When I can get them from the 4-Her down the road, farm-fresh are my go-to and I buy them from her two dozen at a time. Although I've broached the idea of getting our own chickens, to which I was shot down... I support and always #thankafarmer for my eggs whether they come from the store or just down the road.
