I had the most amazing day yesterday at the Farm Bill Listening Session with our wonderful Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez! I talk about it in my new blog post about Food and Culture.

When you live on a farm, sledding is a spectator sport- it was so funny watching the kids try to sled today with a herd of cattle in the way- but it seems like the cattle just wanted to watch the fun (Nate did have to throw snowballs at them to get them off the main sledding track!)
