Sharing is Caring

In my mind, sharing food with friends is more rewarding than keeping all the food to yourself. Not only do you get to enjoy the fresh ripe fruit that you spend much of your time and labor into, but your friends get to too. In my small agricultural town, this is a common routine.

Most people who have their own working gardens know that they produce more food than they can eat themselves. Our tomato plants at home produce enough food to feed a family of ten. In order to get away from wasting ripe food, my family, as well as our friends, share our food from the garden. Not only do we get to eat our own fresh tomatoes, but we also get to enjoy one neighbor’s peaches and another neighbor’s melons. It is a great way to build a strong sense of community and friendship.
