here are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace.

Farms for City Kids

Just found out about "Farms for City Kids," a hands-on educational program for urban children that focuses on practical learning and teamwork as kids care for farm animals and crops. They are trying to instill in children with such lasting values as responsibility, self-confidence and the satisfaction of facing and overcoming challenges. By educating city kids about agriculture, something that is so different from their everyday lives, they hope to make an impression that will last a lifetime.
