Farm videos for kids
|
|
We highly recommend the award-winning "Vrrrooommm -
Farming for Kids" video series. (Of course we would -
we produced them!) These fun and educational videos,
featuring all of the noise and action found on today's
high-tech farms, show children that the food chain begins
long before the grocery store.
