The Grand Opening was a week ago last Sunday. It has been a long time in the making. 
Primrose Farm is a working living history farm restored to teach about farming and farm living in the 1930's. 
It will be a good thing for the community. People need to know history. 
They need to know about how agriculture shaped out land. They need to know where our food comes from.
They need to know about how people worked in earlier times. They need to know how people lived in earlier times. I worry that they will not understand this farm's place in history and therefore fail to understand what modern agriculture is like.
I worry that this farm will romanticize farming in an unrealistic way. I am happy that it might get kids outdoors. I am happy that it is open green space kept open and fairly green.
I am happy that our friend Kirk runs the place and that our friend Mary works there.
Primrose Farm will be open to the public on Wednesdays and Saturdays and by appointment and for special events. The farm is located just south of Bolcum Road on Crane Road in St. Charles, IL.What can you learn there? How can such a living history project help you live and make choices in the real world? What is the relevance of our history?
