"Social enterprise Onions"
Male stereotypes around farming in over the last 100 years have been destructive and have been very 'gung ho' about the use of chemical and the destruction of land under the guise of farming. This has to be turned back around to loving practices when dealing with the living Earth.It is wonderful for children to learn about the growing processes. There's a real joy around this. It is so needed to fully integrate proper learning. How can a child learn properly if the child doesn't even know where the very food they consume comes from or how it is grown?
After learning where food grows, the next step is to understand how the food grown causes their bodies to grow also... This is home school science 101
*Social Enterprise Onions = Onions grown from the onion bums. See my blog. "How to make a bag of onions last forever".
