The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Natures Harmony Farm In 2007, Tim and Liz Young, the original owners of Nature's Harmony Farm, had an awakening. They became completely aware of how utterly unaware they were of where their food came from and how it was produced. Rather than doing something as sensible as simply supporting a local farmers market they did something more radical. They promptly sold their suburban Atlanta home, quit their jobs as a teacher and corporate executive and devoted themselves to the land and the animals, a story they retold in the Amazon bestseller The Accidental Farmers. They had never milked a cow, petted a pig or held a chicken, but dove in head first anyway. They aimed to make a positive difference in the health of the soil, the life of the animals, the quality of nutrition for themselves and others, and to inspire both consumers and anyone who felt a calling to farm. In 2010 they began milking cows and learned the art of cheese making. Thus began Nature's Harmony Farmstead Cheese. Along the way they fell in love with the old-world style of traditional cheesemaking and visualized cows on pasture every day, farmers doubling as cheese makers and preserving the rich Jersey milk in the form of exquisite cheeses that reflected the farm's local terroir. Something that both the farmers and the community could take pride in. Today, this tradition continues at Nature's Harmony Farm. |
