Provide farm fresh:
Milk straight from the cow,
Chops and sausages from our sheep and pigs.
Clean clear water straight from heaven.
But,
Garden fresh vegetables,
Zucchini,
Broccoli,
Tomatoes,
Beans,
and all you hear is,
"Yucky!"
"Do I have to eat it to get dessert?"
" Disgusting you know we hate...".
....just about anything green, remotely spicy or with any flavour at all.
The disappointment of feeding children.
Here's the challenge - compose a poem each day for one year, that reflects my agrarian life. On our hobby farm on the edge of the Monaro my husband Matthew and I raise children (I have eight, though only five remain at home), sheep, goats, chooks, piglets, a milking cow and her calf, fruit and vegies. To support this enterprise I teach in the remotest school in Victoria - if anywhere in Victoria is truly remote.
