Have just returned from Devon, I find it ironic to see the poor children, the town has no summer jobs, resorting to steal to get the things they want, whereas farmers in the country is desperate for workers at this time of year, especially for picking fruit! What a shame no one has linked this up to enable city kids to pick Blackberries instead of texting cell on them. admittedly their Nike's would get muddy and the fake nails would have to go, but they would at least feel the Earth, for once, and appreciate the value of food and products. They would also appreciate the exhaustion of work and of peace and enjoy good food and well-deserved sleep. Michael morpurgofarms for city kids is a good example; We need similar systems running for city kids throughout the summer. Could this be arranged? David, they could get to Devon with you?
