About Me

The world of the Dear Farmer and Family is opened to you as we share our daily experiences.

"What kind of animal are those?" Dear Farmer answers..."Cows."

Understanding that there is a disconnect in society between the animal and the food that is eaten, Dear Farmer is more than patient with questions from customers...
"Where do the eggs come from if you don't have roosters?"
"How do you get the chickens to go in the coop at night?"
"When do the cows know it's time to birth?"
But the best was when we had a couple of visitors pull up in our driveway, a husband and wife.
They were having an argument, and waved us over to help them.  Dear Farmer and the Wife walked over to the car, pretty sure we were about to be giving them directions to somewhere else.
They were, however, arguing about what kind of animals were grazing in the fields.  The wife in the car said they were cows, the husband said they were pigs.
Now, there's a first. Even in city schoolbooks we thought they had pictures of the different animals...but apparently one of them hadn't paid attention. Dear Farmer, kindly answered, "Cows."  They thanked him and drove away.  Just in case anyone out there drives past our fields...we'll answer your questions, no matter how strange they may seem.  But we will publish the strangest ones we've ever heard in a story like this. {smile}
