I think it's awesome.

Thank you.

It is neat to see people come out and With me not having a background in agriculture, I appreciate it, I think, in a different way, seeing people come out and sometimes not really understanding what the crops are, why they are rotated, and that I get to also help be part of that process of understanding all of it and yet also getting to see the side of the growth process and getting to share that with people that would not otherwise have that experience.

So it's a neat marriage of those of those experiences with the farming and then the entertainment side of it as well.

We talk a lot about how the 80s and the 90s babies are like the last generation to really remember what it was like before the Internet and to kind of have lived in both worlds, that we do remember what it was like to be outside playing until dark, but also through that transition of the Internets, And there does seem to just be this ache for a slower time.
37:22
And as much as we are addicted to screens, there's also a longing to unplug.
37:29
And that's been something from the beginning that we really want to encourage people to do that here.
