Over the summer our local CSA hosted a “kids on the farm” day and it was one of the highlights of our summer.  It was such a treat to visit a real farm and see how and where all of our summer produce is grown.  The kids went on an edible farm walk through raspberry bushes, fields of kale, rows of tomatoes, and even explored a mushroom forest.  They learned about healing herbs and made little pouches of homemade tea.  They were able to help feed the pigs and visit the cows.  The experience was wonderful and deepened our appreciation for all of those hard-working farmers out there.  Upon arriving at the farm, we were greeted by a large table set up with a heaping bowl of pink dough deeply colored from red beets.  The kids all delighted in being able to take a bit of dough and shape their own rolls for their morning snack.  And now as we approach Valentine’s Day, I thought it would a festive time to make those beautiful pink sweet rolls again and bring back memories of our day at the farm.
