What’s for dinner?

This question causes more disdain than “Are we there yet?” or the old standby, “I’m bored.”

Instead of frustration, what if we let what’s readily growing in season and available be the primary factor in deciding what we eat this week?

Instead of searching through countless articles, pins, posts, and pages, we could simply check our local farms or farmer’s market page to see what they’ve harvested this week, make your shopping list, and create your meal plan from there.

Sounds too simple, right?

In one way it is. By focusing on the fruits and vegetables that are in season and using those as the foundation for your meals for the week, you and your  body will enjoy a variety of tastes, nutrients, and health benefits all year long.

And, since not all farmers grow the same produce, and not all farmers go to the same markets, you can explore even more options for creating a healthy meal plan for your family.

What’s this have to do with me or my book?

This book is the first in a line of educational products I am launching to boost the conversation about local farming, increase customers’ enthusiasm about their local farms, and support farmer’s success no matter the season or the weather.

You can help your child connect what they eat for dinner to the farms where food is grown through story, conversations, and a trip to your local u-pick farm.

Want to begin having mindful discussions about what your family eats and where it comes from?

As a first-grade teacher, I am always in search of fun and engaging literature.
Good Night Farm was an excellent addition to my classroom library!
My learners were exploring (cumulative) text, we read several versions of the Good Night… stories. The students and I enjoyed the predictable nature of the stories. 
Good Night Farm was a unique experience, it allowed many of my students to explore aspects of the farm they were not aware of. We enjoyed delightful discussions about the fruits and vegetables and were inspired to look some up that we had not heard of. Our favorite experience, inspired by the Good Night Farm book, was a vegetable and fruit tasting party (during our nutrient study). 

Good Night Farm, is an excellent story that allows for
multiple readings and in-depth discussions.
