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.
